I have always known that color has the power to influence your mood — for example, did you know that when a certain prison painted its walls pink, acts of agression and physical violence decreased significantly? — and was pleasantly surprised by some of the facts presented in this infographic by PaintersOfLouisville.com.

Case in point: you should not paint a baby’s room yellow, because it makes babies more prone to crying. (I can’t help but think of all the nurseries I’ve seen painted yellow.)

Or, you should stay away from red before, and during exams because it is “associated with the danger of failure in achievement contexts and can evoke avoidance motivation.”

I’m loving this hilarious infographic which details the anatomy of an agency.

Personally, my favorite is the Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger. Which is yours?

I used to be a huge fan of Firefox, but made the switch to Chrome two years ago and have not looked back.

I continue to use Firefox and Safari for certain secret agent web missions, and am consistently reminded over and over again why Chrome is a better fit for me (faster, lightweight, and handles my bazillions of open tabs better) — but I certainly understand how others may prefer Firefox, Opera, or Safari over Chrome.

What I don’t understand is the large number of internet surfers who are still using IE7, nevermind IE6! (I have had hundreds of visitors browsing this blog with IE6 in the last month alone.)

The below infographic is pretty funny and accurate, if I must say so myself. I can see how some people may get a bit offended at the death references, but hey, it’s all in good humor, right?

Which web browser is your favorite? Do you agree with this infographic?

Digital Photography School has sparked another Canon vs Nikon debate by posting the following infographic earlier today:

As much as I would’ve liked to see more technical data, I can only assume that the resulting infographic would be about 5x larger due to the wide range of products each company provides!

On a more personal note, when I purchased my DSLR two years ago, I was leaning a bit more to the Nikon side solely based on the fact that my favorite photographers seemed to prefer Nikons over Canons.

However, J strongly encouraged me to try them out in person first (my choices at the time were the Canon T1i and the Nikon D90) and once I held each camera in my hands, played around with the controls and took some test shots, it was clear that I was a Canon girl.

Why? The body felt more natural in my tiny hands and the controls more intuitive…all completely subjective opinions.

Now I’m more than happy that I chose the Canon route, because J shoots with a Canon and I can use his lenses! 

Do you prefer Canon or Nikon, or another brand altogether? What made you go with that brand?

P.S. — In related news, a film industry vet is asserting that flying with your digital camera may damage its sensor. It is a questionable claim, but may have some merits all the same.
