Few applications are more daunting and difficult to the average user than image editing software. Often referred to as “paint programs” by non-professionals, these apps largely fall into two distinct categories: a) the dumb blonde app that looks pretty but can only perform a few simple tasks, and none of them particularly well. Or b) the Pro app, cable of removing acne from Prom photos and former spouses from wedding albums, but requiring a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science to learn. (more…)
Spam has always been a problem with social networks, but now even FaceBook is slowly devolving into a social spamwork site, as the young company looks for new ways to generate revenues.

As expected, Steve Jobs took center stage at San Francisco’s Mascone Center last Tuesday, pouring glasses of Kool-Aid to the press and spellbinding Mac fans. MacWorld, for those of you unfamiliar with the event, is Apple’s annual Mac trade show and keynote that is part infomercial, part state of the Union address, and part Renaissance Festival (with the period costumes and jousting) all rolled into one.

This is MacWorld after all, so iPhone took a backseat to a major new product added the portable line, MacBook Air. More on that later. (more…)
AT&T’s vision of a technological future, as seen from 1993, largely came true; but not in the totalitarian telecommunications controlled scheme it envisioned… thank God. Watch the video, have a laugh, then sit speechless as you realize we are now living in the world depicted in this ad. “You are”.
We all know that Vista is a shitty operating system, but I’ll bet you didn’t know that it also dispenses toilet paper and comes with a free plunger. Aero never looked so good… next to a toilet. Always remember to wash your hands after each use.
