TechByter Worldwide 2016.11.20: Eye Candy — One Tool Every Designer Should Have, Maybe It's Time for a Different Browser, Short Circuits, and Spare Parts.

Alien Skin's Eye Candy allows photographers to add unique effects to photos, but it really shines in the hands of designers. After using Firefox as my primary browser for more years that I can remember, I started thinking about swapping it out for something else. In Short Circuits: Running out-of-date apps on a mobile device is just as dangerous as doing that on a desktop or notebook computer -- maybe even more dangerous. Shutterstock's on-line editor provides access to more than 1 million images and templates that can be used to create presentations. In Spare Parts (only on the website): The European Space Agency and Germany's SAP combine to provide access to geospatial information for a fee, Comodo offers a free service designed to help corporate IT departments find malware before it bites them, and those who work in the software industry say that they expect to automate themselves out of a job in the next decade unless they learn new skills.
