I don't know about you, but when I watch the video, it looks like the multi flash camera is constantly flashing away... in upwards of 24frames per second, all that white space! But I could hear what was happening anyway, so that was cool.:)
I don't think the price matters when you're a professional photographer, graphic designer or whatever, who needs that kind of software day in day out, infact, PS is a small price to pay compared to other equipment needed for a photographer or designer for example. There are cameras which cost $30,000 (without extras) and upwards and there is demand as well. Also Apple Computer appeals to the creative industries and they have no problem with paying for their hardware. For a photographer, a couple or even one photo will pay for the price of a Photoshop license.
These professionals are not unknown entities either, pick up any good magazine in regard to graphic design, illustration or photography and they praise Photoshop to high heaven. One reason is because it does the job, GIMP is not mentioned yet, and it doesn't need to be, not when they can use something now and not something else when its done. Maybe its your perspective on things that is lacking instead.
I mention PS being deserved of its position, yet you talk as though the only alternative is GIMP. There is cheaper software titles out there which do the job, they are even sometimes reviewed in the same magazines that don't mention GIMP! There is no monopoly here, Photoshop has succeeded through healthy competition. Why shouldn't is deserve being the industry standard?
Don't get me wrong though, I have tried GIMP (didn't like it) and I wish it well, but you are right about the effects it will have on PS, but don't cast down a well respected and favoured software title with nearly 20 years of history behind it. It shows you know little when it comes to the preferences of other people who REALLY need professional software like Photoshop and don't have the time to piss around with untried alternatives.
Its not all praise however, because I'm not paid by Adobe, and I do agree PS is lacking in areas, speed for one of them.
Linux is sure making MS start to run scared. If they don't continue to make windows better, it will die. MS has also seen this with Firefox and has now stated that there may be an upgrade to IE after all. Once Gimp has CMYK and CM, Photoshop's "edge" will be Very small. If PS doesn't improve and offer much more than Gimp, will it Still "deserve" to be THE standard? It will take a while for windows to die, even if a lot of people hate windows, it is still around even with alternatives. Photoshop will take even forever if it does die the death you hope it to, even though its respected far more and hasn't got the monopoly hold that windows has on its users. By that rational, it should be easier to move away from PS? But its still here stronger than ever.
In order for you to get your paper however for the price you pay, advertisers pay huge sums of money to the paper company, who cares if you don't read their ads, you still bought the paper.
It wasn't all Jeunet's fault, he didn't have his favoured producer who he had worked with on nearly all his films (can't remember his name), Fox didn't see the sense in hiring them both. Plus Weaver had more input as a producer and she shouldn't of had so much influence on the film. However for all the negativity, in France and Japan, the film was a box office success...
I use Apple's Backup software for automatic backups. It will backup files to my iDisk and Firewire drive automatically at different times of the day independent of each location. One backs everything online at 12am, the other at 2am. I then make sure everything has worked and perform a 3rd backup onto cd every month, using Backup again.
It even backs up the things you wouldn't normally backup, such as keychains and certain xml files and other hard to find peices of information which you do need, those include customisations made within programs.
I'm never gonna lose my porn stash ever!
Oh, don't get me wrong, I agree as well, it was bad english on my part, but, thats what I always say to AC's... they are all the same person so they get the same reply as well.
You might of heard WinFS before Apple made Spotlight but Apple don't discuss anything until they need to, who is to say they had it first. In any case, it matters not when spotlight is based on a different technology, which doesn't make the entire filesystem one big database. It uses metadata and tags the files accordingly...
Everybody who has replied thinks i don't know what cause and effect is all about. I'm simply stating that I would spend the money on people instead of this mission. You have to consider the rescourses the US has, they could do both if they so wished and I wouldn't need to choose or for the parent to state a choice. Of course, this mission costs so much because somebody made the choice of sending robots to do a mans job, incidentally it would be cheaper as well. Maybe there is a payoff and I assumed this but those people right now living a life of poverty won't see any payoff unless I was in charge of the money and said its going to them instead. Don't forget, it costs money to finance this payoff once discovered, this is more money besides the 1.6 billion.
While you make a good point, I have to point out myself that I know... when it comes to "scientific discoveries" and "unexpected ways"
Similar examples can be found in the internet, television, computers and such and such.
You are correct in what you say, but, they are only using a robot because they don't want to send people you there instead because they might be in danger, which we knew would be the case anyway.

You are all amatures, its Mac or PC! Duh!
I only fight when its a term paper and on slashdot when the grammer nazis are in full force... :)
You lost the war on spelling I see... ;)
Maybe there is a dire need to sell dictionaries and "Master English in 24 hours", type books?
But to some its the easiest solution....

Somebody should also tell me how to add to the friends, foe and enemies list as well, because I don't know how.
What prey tell is wrong with Photoshop, it IS the industry standard for image manipulation for professionals and deserves to be so?

Best post Evar!!! (Since I cannot remember the last "best" post) :)
Just delete your porn stash and you wouldn't need the optical media ;).

I don't think he should worry about the electricity bill, from what I know, LED's don't use that much energy in order to emit light. I think...

Also to add, Apple will have it out of the door into the market first as well...

You have a new Outlook with Lookout...
But yet now i notice you ARE the parent, sorry. I was talking to you without realising :-). But my point still stands, I meant in this case.

You mean like "Lunar" and "Aero".
