Couples Pics: Does a Stranger Take or Do You Take Yourself?

GeekSugar — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 09:05:38 -0700

You finally get whisked away to that tropical island you've been fantasizing about behind your cubicle, but once you get there, you're forced to ask strangers to take some romantic shots of you and your beau. Other options include setting up a mini tripod, do the "hold out the arm and hope for the best shot," find a steady surface and 10-9-8 run to get that perfect picture, or you can get a random to play paparazzi.

When the adorable Seal and Heidi Klum attended the Emmys on Sunday, Seal got creative by capturing the photo himself on his iPhone as the two shared a kiss. But while watching the French Open (yes they managed to tear themselves away from their laptops), Eva Longoria and Tony Parker asked a total stranger to do the honors for them. I'd say I'm a good combo of both methods, what about you?

Tech Dating 101: He Pays More Attention to His Phone Than Me

Not to be a total Debbie Downer with this week's Tech Dating 101 topic, but there are many people who wish they could pull a hocus pocus move and make their significant other's cell phone magically disappear. Sound familiar?

The worst is when you're trying to enjoy a romantic moment - maybe while watching a sunset, or sitting under the stars - and wham! buddy pulls out his phone, or in my case, the attention-grabbing iPhone 3GS. And at that very instant, the romantic moment fizzles, and you're left wondering if this guy would rather play with an app than be with you.

Along the same lines as the gadgets in the bedroom post, I definitely think there's a time and place for gadget use. If you're just dating or starting out as a new couple, you should get the message across without sounding like the gadget police. Maybe tell them that you were really looking forward to spending time together, and it's good to be away from gadgets and distractions. . . nudge nudge, hint hint.

To see what else I suggest, just read more.

If the guy you're dating continues to ignore the fact that his cell phone obsession is bothering you, I'd be persistent about trying to get the point across, and if he is still glued to his cell phone during dates, kick this guy to the curb.

Now if you're in a serious relationship and he's reverted back to his ways because he thinks the honeymoon phase is over, address the situation as soon as his attention strays. And maybe on really romantic outings, suggest that he leave his cell phone at home!

Tony's a Mac and Eva's a PC

During a recent trip to St. Tropez, Eva Longoria and husband Tony Parker were not only captured jet skiing and soaking up some rays, but the happy couple also managed to mix business with pleasure by squeezing in some laptop time. Now I already knew that Eva was a PC girl, but I didn't know that her hubby was an Apple lover: here she is with her black Lenovo ThinkPad whereas Tony is rockin' a MacBook Pro. When I met my boyfriend, he was a PC user and then switched over to Macs, so we're now both using MBPs (which works out well for photos when we're both geeking out). What about you? Are you and your significant other both PC or Mac users? Does it ever become an issue when one prefers Windows and the other Mac OS X?

Eva Longoria and Tony Parker Capture The Moment

The paparazzi may have been busy snapping away at the 13th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, but by the looks of it, Eva Longoria and Tony Parker were just as busy with their own fancy schmancy digital cam. Maybe Eva was taking pictures of her fellow Desperate Housewives co-stars or better yet, sneaking some racy pictures of other celebs at this star studded event. This camera definitely looks like a COOLPIX S7c by Nikon.
This styling camera lets you email pictures directly from the camera and is slim enough to slip right into your shirt pocket or purse! To learn more about this camera and for purchasing info click Nikon Coolpix S7c.
