More upgrades

Posted by Ian Benninghaus

I’m happy to announce the newest addition to my ever expanding family, my Tamron AF18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO lens.

It’s a brand new release and after tons of researching it I opted for the Tamron over Nikons 18-200mm VR
I’m surprised it was actually available before the new year seeing as how it was just announced this past summer.

Haven’t had a chance to get out and actually put it to the test yet but I’ve been reading some pretty decent reviews and it’s going to be a blast having a more than decent all-in-one walk around lens that can pretty much do everything from close up macro to wide angle to super-teleohoto without having to haul a ton of lenses around with me.

This picture doesn’t even do it justice but the photos I make with it will.

I get all of my stuff from Adorama and would also like to take this opportunity to plug B+W Filters, they’re Grrrrreat!

Netflix ZERO page checkout: Step 1

Posted by Amit Gupta

Step 1 → Step 2 → Step 3

Netflix does a lot of things right with their website. For example, the way they use ajax and in-page popups to reveal title information when you hover over a movie title or photo is not only inspired, it’s really well executed.

I bought a used DVD on Netflix today, and was amazed by how smooth the process was. Ecommerce vendors are all about 1-page checkouts nowadays — Netflix manages to top them all with a ZERO PAGE CHECKOUT process.

Everything happens right on the page where you hit the buy button, with Lightbox-style floaters.

Very, very smooth.
