    Would You Rent Photoshop for $49 a Month?

    I think it's hilarious that, on a scale from Office to 3dsmax/CAD, people think Photoshop is closer to Office.

    AMD has better overall desktop picture quality. Just my thoughts

    Man, I'm so glad I don't live in a time anymore where I have to settle for a G400 Millennium because it was the only card with a 350mhz RAMDAC... edit: crap, I don't think I'm remembering that speed right. Ah, only 300 mhz, but I remember it being pretty high compared to the competition, at least.

    Microsoft To Acquire Adobe?

    Wow, that is a lot more expensive than I remembered. Point taken. However, I can't say that that is too expensive considering it's an industry design program. Adobe Photoshop Elements is for hobbyists/casual users and it's $80. On the flip side, you have a Nvidia Quadro card "designed" for...

    Microsoft To Acquire Adobe?

    http://www.businessinsider.com/chart-of-the-day-adobe-revenue-2010-5 says that Flash makes up only 7% of Adobe's revenue. Of course, there's the whole ownership-of-the-present-and-future-internet thing too.. I don't know, seems in line with other CAD software. Have you seen the price for a...

    HP Ink Costs More Than Human Blood

    Yeah, but blood needs to be maintained and stored properly, not to mention tested for diseases. Then there's the cost of running the facilities and paying the staff, that is if they get paid at all. It's not an assembly line, like it is with ink. I figure it takes a lot longer to draw an amount...

    HP Ink Costs More Than Human Blood

    Don't HP ink carts have the print head on the cart, rather than as part of the printer? (ie, every time you buy a new ink cart, you get a brand new print head) I could have sworn I heard that, and it'd explain why these things are so friggin expensive. Also, blood changes color when exposed...

    10 Things You Must Do With Your New Windows 7 PC

    Funny, I was thinking about how similar the task bar for 7 was to OSX' dock. But then again, you could say that it's a combination of quicklaunch and the old taskbar.

    We Learn More From Success, Not Failure

    Funny, so THAT'S why I'm always late to work. I seem to remember something about how real failure-provoking changes don't happen unless one's life is threatened. (I think wherever I heard it from was mostly referring to recreational drugs, though) Epiphanies or paradigm shifts or something...

    Pranknet Leader Unmasked

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment Humans are usually willing to follow someone who they assume to be a superior or official. I think it's not so much that they are gullible, but that society is hierarchical. Shit rolls downhill, and I'm sure any one of us had to, at least once...
