• Epson FastFoto FF-640 review: Quick, convenient photo scans don’t come cheap

  16-01-2017 15:00 via macworld.com
  
  It’s a tedious task to take your old photos in an album or box and convert them to a digital format by using a scanner.

But those apps share a singular limitation: No matter how good the smartphone camera, it can’t compete with a decent hardware scanner.To read this article in full or to leave a comment,

• How to kill the evercookie and supercookie, the cockroaches of tracking
