POPSwatch out for the 'phishers', they are nasty sharks! I only once got stung by this kind of criminal activity, years ago with a very clever Microsoft (fake) update notification which had all the official Microsoft logos etc... "hey! check out this funny blog about you..." and provides a link. That link redirects to a site masquerading as the Twitter front page. Look closely at the URL field, if it has another domain besides Twitter but looks exactly like our page then it's a fraud and you should not sign in

POPSTragedy, or a lesson for us all?
it's the LOVE of MONEY that is the root of much evil... not just money... "Merckle used his background as a lawyer to create an opaque structure for his empire, exploiting tax rules and shifting the domiciles of his businesses. His main companies were based on his family heritage. He took the remnants of his grandfather’s tiny pharmaceuticals business and in 30 years turned it into Europe’s second-largest drugs wholesaler, Phoenix. A trip to the US in the 1970s showed him the potential for generic drugs and Ratiopharm, the manufacturing company he then founded, is now the sector leader in Germany. Finally, Merckle used his mother’s and his wife’s positions in cement dynasties to turn a 1 per cent holding in HeidelbergCement into 80 per cent just three years ago. The seeds for his downfall, however, were also sown during his rise. First there was the complicated structure of his companies, where his holding in one would be pledged as collateral for the buying of another. “He w

POPSPhoto Image Resolution: Avoiding Pixellation article ends with... In practice, images can often be reproduced at a lower resolution, especially on exhibition graphics, banners or posters where the viewer will not be especially close to the printed piece and therefore able to spot any pixellation. However, common sense will tell you than an image the size of a postage stamp cannot be enlarged to the size of a billboard!" I have proved this today, printing an A4 page of a photo of 250kb with 800 x600 pixels and it has come out pretty decent for most eyes, I would say, but that's an exception I reckon (good cameras, Sony, this was a 2.1 megapixel that I had years ago!)
