Become Apart of theAUTSPOT.com: Facebook vs Digg vs Autism
You may have noticed that we here at theAUTSPOT have decided to stay neutral in what frankly is one of the most heated and sometimes hateful community of people I’ve ever visited.

Commercial Photography Habits to Embrace
This story I’m about to pass on to you is common place and yet many photographers in the early days of their careers make small mistakes they could have avoided. I’m guilty of many of these little learning curve events. None more common than the customer or client exclaiming that you hadn’t told them it was going to be this expensive.Read ahead

How to Put the Kibosh on Content Scrapers & Thieves

Nikola Tesla: Master of Lightning
Few inventors contributed more to advances in science and engineering in the early 20th century than Nikola Tesla. As one of the Fathers of Electricity, Tesla did groundbreaking work on alternating current (AC) power system, electromagnetism, hydroelectric power, radio, and radar to name a few. Many of his inventions (Tesla obtained some 300 patents in his lifetime) became the stuff we take for granted today: when we flip a switch to turn on the light, we owe a lot of that electrical magic to Tesla. As fate would have it, Tesla, one of the world’s greatest inventors, died penniless and in obscurity. Even today, many people mistakenly attribute many of his inventions to others (Edison, for example, is in the name of many power companies in the United States – ironically, they use the AC system devised by Tesla rather than the more inefficient direct current or DC system espoused by Thomas Edison; Tesla also invented the fundamentals of radio transmissions before Gugliegmo Marconi). Today, there’s quite a bit of resurgence in Tesla’s popularity, which is helped in part by his mystique as a "mad scientist." Amongst his more outlandish ideas, Tesla worked on death rays to knock out enemy airplanes out of the skies, pocket-sized resonance machine that could topple buildings, ways to send electricity through the upper atmosphere, force-fields to protect cities, and so on.

Job prospects drawing more students to agriculture
Champaign Ill. â Tristesse Jones will probably never drive a tractor or guide a combine through rows of soybeans at harvest time. There isn't a farm within miles of where she grew up on Chicago's west side, but she's set to graduate with a bachelor's degree in crop sciences from the University of Illinois' agriculture school next spring. "People ask me what is my major, and they say 'What is that? So you want to grow plants?' " Jones said. She is one of a growing number of students being drawn to ag schools around the country not by ties to a farm but by science, the job prospects for those who are good at it and, for some, an interest in the environment.
