Speaking of photos...
| | Which is all I can say about that last link, since I don't know Norwegian. (I'm half Swedish, but all I know is Taks sa mycket.) |
| | In any case, thanks to Jan Omdahl for a fun interview at Reboot8. It must have worked, because there are a lot of comments below the thing (which is just the first installment, by the way). |
What to charge for a photo?
| | A well-known publisher would like to use one of my photos in a book. What should I charge, if anything? |
| | I've been approached before, but only by individuals whose needs are modest. In those cases I've told them just to go ahead and use the photos. |
| | But in this case, well, why not charge? |
| | Are any readers in the stock photo business? I'm at least curious to know what the going rate is. |
Cingular vs. non-Windows laptops
| | My Sprint Ambassador cell phone trial has expired (after less than two months) and I'm hooked, I love the BlueTooth EV-DO capability. They say it'll cost at least $50 per month to get it reactivated. Is that a reasonable price? Or, could I get it from my current cell phone service provider, Cingular? |
| | Well, I have some experience here, as a customer trying to get EVDO-like service out of Cingular. (I became a Cingular customer when the company ate my old provider, AT&T Wireless.) |
| | First, Cingular doesn't do EVDO, which runs on CDMA networks such as those by Sprint and Verizon. Cingular and T-Mobile do GSM, and their equivalent to EVDO is EDGE. |
| | I believe Dave's primary laptop is a Mac, and I suspect he'll get the same runaround from his local Cingular store as I got when I asked about EDGE for Macs and Linux laptops: "We only support Windows." |
| | There are workarounds, and I'm sure Dave is technical enough to deal with them. Still, it might be better to stick with Sprint or Verizon, since they clearly support user devices other than those that run Windows. |
| | [Later...] Since I wrote this, I've been pointed here and have heard vigorous advocacy from happy T-Mobile customers. One pointed to this device here. |
