This video featuring Age of Empires 2 - The Conquerors is a work of inspiration. It is also a kind of fond remembrance for those all-nighters I did on this amazing game around 2000, 2001 and once again later in 2006 (basically my teenage and post-teenage years). The screenshot grabs in this video are from 2006 summer, when I played and enjoyed the campaigns night after night in Cairo. During the day I used to volunteer at WFP. One morning in a train to Maadi (in barely-slept mood after one such all-nighter with the game), I thought of creating a video using in-game cinematic. Instead of using the saved screen grabs, I had planned to use actual gameplay footage. The original idea was to capture the screen recording of the gameplay, interpolate the frames to around 30fps (I still had to figure out how), and upscale the video resolution to 720p, the go-to resolution of the time. :) It simply seemed too ambitious with the machine I had with me. At that time, I had a desktop computer with N

With nearly all mobile makers now boasting at least 48 MP, does it actually make sense to have 48MP, 64MP, 108MP, or even 200MP main cameras with 3 or 4 extra cameras? The true one-line answer to this eternal question is: MegaPixel count does not really matter. If you go just by that then many old players and newcomers have the biggest MP count in their range, and top of the line specs, but are still a trash phone. Many smartphones camera makers use sensors by either Samsung or Sony. Apart from the top of the line sensors, the specifications are similar and even interchangeable, so some entry level phone models may have some sensors from Sony, and others by Samsung. Now, how can these manufacturers offer increasing MP size in smaller sensors? It is because each individual imaging element (pixel) on the sensor is getting smaller. This does not translate to better picture quality. Think of the shower of photons that leads to getting an image as a rainfall.

Terms and Conditions May Apply is a 2013 documentary directed by Cullen Hoback that explores the implications of user agreements on privacy. The film highlights how corporations, particularly tech giants like Facebook and Google, exploit lengthy and complex terms of service that most users do not read. These agreements often grant companies extensive rights to collect, use, and share personal data, raising significant concerns about privacy and consent. Through a blend of interviews with privacy advocates, legal experts, and individuals affected by privacy violations, the documentary reveals the stark reality of digital surveillance. It emphasizes that by clicking "I Agree," users unknowingly surrender their rights and personal information, contributing to a culture of pervasive data collection. The film also includes notable figures such as Mark Zuckerberg, who exemplifies the hypocrisy in corporate practices regarding user privacy. Terms and Conditions May Apply  serves as
