Do Newspapers Need Photographers?

The Chicago Sun-Times fired all of its photographers on Thursday. Out the door went 28 people, and decades of experience and skill. All at once the paper emptied a deep reservoir of photojournalistic talent. 

Before Thursday, it had a staff of professionals with broad knowledge of a great city, with the hard-earned ability to tell stories with pictures — the not-so-easy thing that newspaper photographers do every day.

Windows 8.1 Start button, η επιστροφή της Έναρξης

Εκτός από τίτλος του άρθρου θα μπορούσε να είναι το όνομα της νέα ταινίας της Microsoft με πρωταγωνιστή το Start button στο σκηνικό των Windows 8.1. Η επιστροφή του Start είναι γεγονός.

Η αφαίρεση του Start από τα Windows 8 ήταν η αφορμή για αμέτρητα αρνητικά σχόλια και κριτικές για την «μεγάλη» αυτή κίνηση της Microsoft που πήρε αρκετά μεγάλες διαστάσεις παγκοσμίως, όπως συμβαίνει με κάθε νέα έκδοση των Windows.

Jamie's Mum's gorgeous chocolate pudding

“Trust me when I tell you that this is one mind-blowingly chocolately pudding!” says Jamie. “There's not one healthy thing about it, apart from the fact it will put a big smile on everyone's face and it's proven smiling is good for us! 

Okay, so that's stretching it, but if you can't have a completely delicious treat at Christmas, when can you?”

Techs and the City

THIS spring New York City is rolling out its much-ballyhooed bike-sharing program, which relies on a sophisticated set of smartphone apps and other digital tools to manage it. 

The city isn’t alone: across the country, municipalities are buying ever more complicated technological “solutions” for urban life.

Quinoa – is it worth it?

Quinoa is mostly found clinging to the mountain fields of Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador and incredibly has been growing for domestic purposes since 3000BC. It forms a very important part of the natives’ staple diet, being nutritious, easily attainable and also extremely cheap – at least it used to be.


Pronounced keen-wa (not qui-no-a), the increasingly popular crop is a hugely profitable export for some South American countries. It has recently been hailed as a new “superfood” in the West, because it contains essential amino acids and high levels of calcium, phosphorous and iron.

It doesn’t taste too bad either, with a subtle nutty flavour and interesting texture. Along with a quick cooking time, it seems to be an all-round winner and is regularly seen on restaurant menus and supermarket aisles all over the UK.

Fantastic we say, its great that we are trying new things, especially when it’s so good for us.  But – and it’s a fairly big but – our love of quinoa has caused the price to skyrocket over the last few years. In fact, the price of quinoa has tripled since 2006, and not just in the Western countries.

Talking with Animals

Could there really be pets that understand everything we say? The dream of speaking to animals runs from Sigurd in Norse mythology right up to Dr Dolittle. Some researchers have claimed that they can actually do it, by teaching their subjects sign language or another mutually comprehensible means of communication. 

These included famous chimps like Nim and Washoe and the gorilla Koko. A few years ago, we were on the brink of a breakthrough in inter-species communications – so what happened?
