Photo Editing.

Changing an image doesn't have to make it better, it can just make it different, so I can't say that the "After" image is better than the before, all that I can say is that it is not the same.

Maybe often the original and natural is best, as otherwise the image is just not "real" anymore.

It just depends on what a particular person might want.

If the image is kind of bad to start with then changing it some might make it somewhat better, but if it is O.K. then it might be best to leave it as it is or at least not to change it too much.

Take a look:

Pretty Girl:

Girl Photo Original

Girl Photo After.

There were changes made, but the changes were not too extreme as they could had been.

The Unforgettable Nat "King" Cole.

To me, he is the only singer that was as great a singer as Frank Sinatra my all time favorite.

Just listen to this:

Those who upload videos and songs don't always upload them right so the audio volume is too low on some of the songs.

A few songs might be duplicated, but if so, then only a very few will be.

I wanted to post links to many more of his songs, but there are too many of them and I am tired.

Too bad that the songs are not of better recording quality, but you get only what you can get.

Also some of the videos on YouTube are not very compatible with the video resolution and aspect ratio that I am using on my 24 inches diagonal computer monitor the resolution that I am using right now is 1600 by 900 pixels color quality is 32 bits I am using Windows XP SP3 32 bits, the Web sites do look nice with this resolution, before I was using an old square monitor the kind that you can no longer buy, but the YouTube videos looked very nice on that square monitor, only some of the YouTube videos don't look O.K.

I just looked at some Ultra High resolution videos on YouTube and they look nice even at full screen, and also at some low resolution Mr ED videos and they also look good enough so I think that I will leave the monitor's resolution as it is, it can go a lot higher, but if I raise higher than it is I will not be able to read the print on the desktop as it will be too small (I think), the resolution can go as high as 1920 by 1080.

Mission Impossible T.V Series.

The Mission Impossible that I liked was the one in which the actors were:

Peter Graves, Martin Landau, Barbara Bain, Greg Morris and Peter Lupus.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk3A6WgifJo

Peter Graves was brother to James Arness (Marshal Matt Dillon of "Gunsmoke").

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVP_l5UvR6A

---------------

Many of the Mission Impossible videos on YouTube are faulty as their audio volume is way too low.

-------------

Seems like Leonard Nimoy also appeared on "Mission Impossible"

BioMetrics. (Any Experts Here?).

Well now there is:

Facial recognition

FingerPrint recognition

Voice recognition

Iris recognition

DNA recognition

-------

I wonder if it would be possible to have brainwave recognition, body electrical activity recognition, aura recognition (infrared (?)), body motion recognition, Etc.

While I understand the general idea about those things, I am not an expert on any of them.

Governments (those in power) can use the stuff.

Law enforcement can use the stuff.

The ones called criminals (mafia), including drug lords, can use the stuff.

The so called private sector can use the stuff.

Terrorists can use the stuff.

And private people can use the stuff.

But without proper databases and equipment can't be used.

Some of this stuff, we see on T.V. shows and on movies sometimes.

-----

Privacy? With so much crime and terror, there can't be privacy, but more often than not >

Those in power are the ones who are the criminals and the terrorists.

--------------

About private communications, while you can't keep some from seeing and hearing what you say, hear, write and read, you can "code" the stuff, so "they" won't know what you are sending and receiving, it is not true that "they" can decode everything that is coded, you just need to know how to do it right.

But I am not really one who can be called an expert on such things.

JetPack Yourself And Fly High.

Thru the years there probably have been many kinds of JetPacks we have seen some on T.V. from time to time, but not very often, I am right now seeing them on NCIS, by the way the pictures and the videos here maybe have nothing to do with what I am seeing on NCIS.

Mostly Cher and Sinatra.

I hate it when this happens and has happened many times before.

I had probably more than 20 Firefox browser windows on YouTube open and then I got an "Out of virtual memory" error and Firefox crashed.

I lost all the YouTube windows that I had open.

Later, when I restarted Firefox a few times I got maybe most of the windows back, like always I am upset that I lost; Who knows how many of them?

Now I better hurry up and post the links of the ones that I recovered.

-------

The best singer ever? I don't know! Maybe "Frank Sinatra".

There is a change of volume from some songs to others; Very bothersome!

High Definition YouTube Videos + Some More.

I found a few high definition videos on YouTube.

I read on the Internet that some computers might have trouble "seeing" them right.

I am using Firefox 37.0.2 on an old Dell Optiplex computer that I bought used on the Internet maybe 2 to 4 years ago, it is an old computer but in good condition it has Windows XP SP3 on it.

The computer by itself with no monitor was when new about:

MSRP
$1183.00
Now with Vista or Windows 7 on it they are about $100, yes you might not be able to find them anymore with WinXP on them.
A place on the Internet says that it was made on 2008.
My point is that old and used is not always bad, it works just as good as if it was new.
As far as I know the hardware is the original and has not been changed in any way.
---------
I have right now several browser windows open including this one here at L.P.
But anyhow, I am going to do an Internet speed test.
I think that it was not as fast because there are 4 browser windows open, anyhow here it is:
Download: 4.1 Mbps
Upload: 770 kbps.
Latency: 36 ms.
Max Download 4.1 and Max Upload 1.44
-------------
As to the YouTube videos:
On "Settings" you need to change the resolution to 1080p if your computer and Internet speed can handle that.
I think that many or some o them are shown on Slow Motion.
I could not see them in their highest resolution, but I could see them in:
1080p resolution which is still HD.
This is in Full screen and also in Theater mode and in the small normal regular screen.
1440p and the 2160p resolutions I can't see at all in any size screen.
Anyhow, in 1080p and in Full Screen the videos look very nice.

Other states besides Texas might also have their own do not call list(s).

--------------

Cellular telephones should have their signal (calls) come thru the Internet and people should be able to manage them same as we do with emails, that is we should be able to block spam calls and particular senders and even senders' domains and or only receive those calls from people on our address book, block and or allow calls from particular places , like allow only local or allow only Texas and or block New York city and block Arizona state, Etc (whatever).

We seem to  have more control with emails than we do with telephone calls.

If telephone calls were digital and our telephones were a sort of mini-computers and were controlled with C.P.U.s then maybe the telephone calls would not have to come thru the Internet they would come as they do now, but their signal would be digital.

Well, whatever!

People can already get telephone calls thru the Internet, but I have never tried that so I don't know how it works.
