I guess this isn’t your typical EssayBoard technology blog post, but I have to say, what is going on with the weather in Atlanta? Yes, I’m residing in ATL, and it’s so warm in ATL that for a moment it has me believe that I’m experiencing a cool summer in February. As this writing, my area is experiencing strong wind, but the temperature in the air is about 70 degree. Go summer? Even though it’s February?
Bandwidth Cap Is Bad For Data In The Cloud
Image via Wikipedia
We know data in the cloud might be a good idea, but there are few hesitations come to mind that make data in the cloud a good idea but not practical. We know data in the cloud might be subjected to security risk, losing one’s right to data (you never know), and bandwidth limitation! The other two are obvious, but let me focus on the last which is even more obvious. Yes, bandwidth is what making data in the cloud for average users a good idea but not practical. Home users, not enterprise users, are facing data caps from their ISPs. Many ISPs are so gung-ho in capping home users’ bandwidth around 100 Gigabyte to 250 Gigabyte range. Sure, 100 GB to 250 GB range sounds like a lot, but believe me it’s not if home users decide to backup their huge 650 GB to 2 Terabyte worth of data onto the cloud! It’s now obvious that data in the cloud is simply not a computing tool/solution for everyday folks, isn’t it?

Let See Pixelmator In Action On Macbook Pro
I’ve been using Pixelmator quite infrequently, because I don’t have that many photos to edit. Nonetheless, every time I have had to use Pixelmator to edit a photo, I’ve never regretted one bit. Pixelmator is an amazing, easy to use photo editing software for Mac. I’ve found it easy to understand and intuitive. Another plus thing about Pixelmator is that it’s so affordable. Instead of costing an arm and a leg, at we speak Pixelmator is only around $30. On the contrary, Photoshop is way more expensive. But there is Gimp, you say! Sure, Gimp is FREE and might be even more powerful than Pixelmator, but Gimp is not for the beginners. I think whoever has just invited himself or herself into the world of photo editing, he or she might find Gimp to be a little intimidating, but Pixelmator is probably going to be a lot nicer to these folks. Oh, of course if you don’t have a Mac, Pixelmator might cost you more than an arm and a leg, because you have to get a Mac first! Anyhow, I’ve made a video which you can watch right after the break, and this video introduces and allows you to see Pixelmator in action. The things that are included in this video are the introductions to several Pixelmator filters, tools, layer, layer mask feature, export feature, and other features. I hope you will be able to enjoy the video on Pixelmator right after the break!
