2012-11-27T04:20:00.001-08:00

What is .EMZ file?

A file with the EMZ file extension is a Windows Compressed Enhanced Metafile file.

How to open it?

The easiest way to open an EMZ file is to double-click on it and let your PC decide which default application should open the file. If no program opens the EMZ file then you probably don't have an application installed that can view and/or edit EMZ files.

Open Microsoft Clip Organizer
Choose File > Add Clips to Organizer > On My Own

7 Reasons Why The Windows Phone 7 Is The iPhone Killer

2011-08-18T04:29:00.000-07:00

The sleeping giant is back. With yesterday’s announcement of the new Windows Phone 7 I believe we are seeing the rise of Phone 7 as the iPhone killer. Forget Android, this is the one you need to pay attention to.

Why? Scale, style and apps are the key reasons. Not to mention one of the longest computing heritages and a suite of services that range from business to entertainment, browsing and searching.

The Windows Phone 7 hooks this all together in a way that puts the market on its head. Instead of emulating what others have done, Microsoft has taken a radical approach to the phone. I give you 7 reasons why I believe this is the one.

Iconfinder - first search engine focused on icons

2010-08-12T04:05:00.000-07:00

There are thousands of free icon sets out there, and every other day we see new sets being released by the design community. I use Iconfinder iconfinder to search icons for inspiration.

Iconfinder provides high quality icons for web designers and developers in an easy and efficient way. The site launched in 2007 as the first search engine focused on icons. The target audience is web designers and developers, but the icons are also used to style desktop or in presentations and reports. With millions on icons downloaded every month it is among the most popular icon sites.

The Psychologist’s View of UX Design - By Susan Weinschenk

2010-08-11T03:51:00.000-07:00

I found very nice article about UX Design on UX Mag:

You may have heard this story about an elephant:

A king brings six men into a dark building. They cannot see anything. The king says to them, "I have bought this animal from the wild lands to the East. It is called an elephant." "What is an elephant?" the men ask. The king says, "Feel the elephant and describe it to me." The man who feels a leg says the elephant is like a pillar, the one who feels the tail says the elephant is like a rope, the one who feels the trunk says the elephant is like a tree branch, the one who feels the ear says the elephant is like a hand fan, the one who feels the belly says the elephant is like a wall, and the one who feels the tusk says the elephant is like a solid pipe. "You are all correct", says the king, "You are each feeling just a part of the elephant."

The story of the elephant reminds me of the different view of design that people of different backgrounds, education, and experience have. A visual designer approaches UX design from one point of view, the interaction designer from another, and the programmer from yet another. It can be helpful to understand and even experience the part of the elephant that others are experiencing.

Celebrate Photography - Photography lovers on August 19th 2010

2010-08-11T01:57:00.000-07:00

August 19th is celebrated every year as the 'World Photography Day'.

Why August 19th?
August 19th was chosen for the special day in the world of photography since the first announcement of a photograph was made on August 19th, 1839. This is well documented in photography history books, encyclopedias, as well as in various articles by famous photographers. The announcement was made in a brilliant speech before the members of the Academie des Sciencesand Academie des Beaux Arts by FrancoisArago.
