In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention. This time we look at Central Park, René Groebli, Apple's display strategy and unpowered SSDs.
- Freelance photojournalist Adam Gray visited Central Park to illustrate the first big snow of the season. "As this was New York City’s first snow, it was important to include some recognizable locations to give the photographs context and location," he writes.
- Christian House reviews a new exhibit of A Swiss Photographer's Intimate Honeymoon Pictures from 1954. "Swiss photographer René Groebli and his wife, Rita Dürmüller, spent their time in Paris cocooned in their room producing a series of photographs -- sensual, intimate, enigmatic -- that would first shock then beguile viewers," he writes. "Dürmüller is often nude, but not solely and never explicitly posed. It is clear that she is playing with her husband, that this is fun."
- Jason Snell argues for A More Flexible Apple Display Strategy. "Apple should absolutely be able to design any all-in-one Mac it sells with the ability to be placed in 'display mode' and accept Thunderbolt input," he writes.
- In Your Unpowered SSD Is a Ticking Time Bomb, Monica J. White writes, "Data loss can be entirely silent until it's too late. The drive may mount fine after not being used, but reveal corrupted files."
