Neowin Digital Gallery - Yearly Edition 2011

I've got 6 months of stuff to go through (though not a lot)

But I pulled out this one, and this is literally how it came from the camera (other than PS for resizing)

Is there anything I can do to it? It seems perfect as it is :s

Holy ****, that is one nasty spider, I googled:

The Goliath birdeater is fairly harmless to humans, as are most species of tarantulas. Like all tarantulas, they have fangs large enough to break the skin of a human (0.75?1.5 inches or 1.9?3.8 cm). They carry venom in their fangs and have been known to bite when threatened, but the venom is relatively harmless and its effects are comparable to those of a wasp's sting. Also when threatened they rub their abdomen with their hind legs and release hairs that are a severe irritant to the skin and mucus membranes. They are urticating hairs that can even be harmful to humans, and are considered by some to be the most harmful tarantula urticating hair of all. Tarantulas generally bite humans only in self-defense, and these bites do not always result in envenomation (known as a "dry bite"). The Goliath birdeater has poor eyesight and mainly relies on vibrations in the ground that it can sense from its burrow.

Females always mate, but sometimes may end up eating their mates.

Nasty Mofo

Time to bring this back on topic, as I hate spiders!

Took this on Honeymoon in August '06 and I decided to tidy it up a bit. It was taken on a Point and Shoot Kodak, 5MP I think. Using Auto, as this was before I learnt to use the different functions of a camera!

Also, I don't know if I changed a setting by accident, or if others have experienced this recently, but images that are linked from flickr no longer load in this forum for me, just the link shows up. Photo attachments will show up, just not links from other sites...

Note: I did click NSFW (as I was at work the other day) but have since unchecked that... Do you know if any settings may have been changed due to that and not changed back when I unchecked block things which my be NSFW?

@remus_lupin You images on the previous page work fine but you last post they are just links. I think there is a setting in your profile but it should affect all linked photo's.

This is odd, even on the previous page others photos as well as mine still only show up as links... Clearly there is a setting that has been adjusted, I searched through again and couldn't find anything... I will find it eventually I guess

thanks for responding!

Weird thing for me is it was only your LAST post of images that's showing as links for me. The Option is under My Settings > Forums > Board Preferences.

Yeah, that's where I thought it was, already been through there, maybe I am missing something that is looking me straight in the face...

"I'm at work" is unchecked

"Show attachments as links" is unchecked... it seems to me that those are the only two that would possibly apply (more-so the first one)

Assuming you have "View images in posts, such as smilies and posted images?" Checked? It's at the top of the same page.

It's all good now, thanks!

Do you think we could get a mod to delete these posts?

Posts #562 through #568 would be good; I can repost the photos in post #562

Here's one I put together from 4 images. Taken in the South of France, just outside Saint-Cricq. Can't remember what it was called.

Taken using my wee Olympus SP-510UZ, on manual.

f/5.6, 1/1000, ISO100, 6.3mm (according to the EXIF!)

would have been a lot better if the trees were not cut off

Agree, but where I was standing was at that level, so I couldn't get much in the way of an angle to get all the trees in.

I do however like the view itself, you can see for miles!

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
