Sony Ericsson K770 Live Photo Gallery
Mobile Burn – Aug 17, 2007
As opposed to the K810i and K850i the K770i has a more conservative design that should be welcomed by a lot of people. It also seems that the company has rectified a lot of flaws found in some of the more recent designs. There is no more joystick pain thanks to a new d-pad that works really well. The number keys are huge yet still not as crowded as those of the K800i.

This ebullient show retraces the rapid rise of a maverick abstract painter who made it big and then took a pass leaving town to settle eventually in Bisbee Ariz. With the dot as his main staple he worked in an array of styles mixing Color Field Minimalism and Process Art as he pleased. There are near-Photo-Realist images of streaming galaxies; luscious motifs derived from folding bare canvas onto painted canvas; chunky necklaces made of acrylic paint; and quirky geometric line paintings stretched on tree branches. The show is a blast from the past that singes the present… ne of the most appealing things about this gathering of some 400 treasures is the mix with knockout paintings keeping period company with small sculptures elaborate table furnishings decorative platters Meissen knockoffs of Chinese pottery a porcelain birdcage and vases and such. Strolling through the galleries you’ll find treasures like “Saint Francis of Assisi in Ecstasy” (about 1594-95) said to be the first authentic Caravaggio in an American museum; Fra Angelico’s poignant poetic fragment “Head of an Angel” (about 1455-50); and Francisco de Zurbar?s fearsome portrayal of a dead martyr “Saint Serapion” (1628). But the pi? de r?stance is an entire gallery made into an art and curio cabinet with a planned clutter of brilliant objects that play to a viewer’s inner acquisitor: exotic shells mounted in gold; an extraordinary Baroque ivory carving (presumed to be before 1650) of Adam and Eve; an automatic tabletop clock (about 1619) with a standing lion that could roll its eyes open its jaws and stick out its tongue when the hours struck. Dazzlement prevails. 600 Main Street Hartford (860) 278-2670.

Similar to iPhoto a new Video Library groups footage into Events; lets you skim by dragging the mouse over the thumbnail adjusting the speed easily and clicking the spacebar to set the thumbnail to the view of the moment; and displays footage in photo gallery-like thumbnails. Memorizing keyboard shortcuts will give your hands a break from the mouse. It’s cool that you can hide footage from view without deleting it as well as add text tags to describe a project and make it easier to search for. It’s simple enough to add titles fades and other transitions and songs from iTunes or GarageBand. You can rotate and crop images better adjust color settings and easily normalize audio… There’s support for high-definition video as well as AVCHD for plugging in solid-state cameras. When movies are done you can add them to iTunes or instantly publish them online via YouTube or to your. Mac Web Gallery for 960×540 pixel video with higher resolution than MPEG-2-format DVDs. We’re not crazy about iMovie’s new split personality with features removed from the new version in the name of simplification. For instance there’s only support for one audio track a major omission if you want to add voiceover narration along with background music. And iMovie ’08 lacks themes which we’d like for cobbling together say a quick wedding video with a pastel background. While you can drag and drop clips the omission of a timeline view found in most video-editing applications including and Express will annoy those seeking more granular control.
