I agree with you. If it is legit, why wouldn't they sell it. When I said 'The technology may never make it to market.', I was repeating the disclaimer that the Adobe VP made at beginning of this portion of the show.
The results were quite good. As far as the preloaded parameters goes, my impression was that that was done to keep the presentation moving. Obviously I don't know for sure, but that's how it looked. There were quite a few knobs and sliders in the UI.
This demo came during the 'Sneak Peaks' portion of the conference. The technology may never make it to market.
That being said, I was at MAX and the demo was as amazing as it looks. Essentially, the software determines the motion/jitter of the camera at the time the photo was taken (i.e. figures out what caused the blur) and then undoes it. I can't imagine why they wouldn't include this in future version of photoshop.
We *love* you. What do you think happens when we collect your PC and find unauthorized upgrades? Let's just say that us 'IT Weenies' have a big box of free, new-ish spare parts to use as we please (usually for personal projects) because you're dumb enough to go out of *your* pocket. Thank you.
Maybe in the future you could try sticking to your own job and let us do ours. We hate slow computers as much as you do (if not more), but what we hate more is getting reamed for going over-budget with needless upgrades.
This ain't a dig at Smith (I'm a fan), but it's been years since he's been anywhere near 235lbs. Based on comments he's made during Smodcast, I expect he is between 330 and 370lbs. Either you are really bad at judging weight or you were looking at an old pic.
I agree with you 100%. There are several sites for which I use 'throw away' passwords. But what you (and other commenters) are forgetting is that for some people that password might be valuable. For example, your password for the auto repair forum might be junk, but it would be a bad thing for the forum moderator to have an easily-guessable password.

Hate to go off topic, but I was having a similar problem and so far, Xine has played all the discs that VLC and MPlayer couldn't.
Yeah, except Bush wasn't interested in unifying the country. For the past 8 (long) years, Bush has been consistent in his belief that "either you're with us or against us". Those aren't the words or thoughts of a man interested in unity.
Ok, so obviously what he was asked to do is unethical. And the consensus seems to be that he should either A) refuse to do it (politely or otherwise) or B) do it, but document objections for CYA purposes.
But I see a lot of comments like this one:
An anonymous email to the scrapee's web admin, noting that they might watch traffic from IP thus an such, might also elicit a fun little "I told you so" opportunity to the boss.
And I'm afraid I have an issue with that advice. I think we can all agree that if the OP is being asked to do this, it is because his employer stands to benefit from it. So, even though a little "I told you so" to a clueless boss would be fun, wouldn't this anonymous email be an act of sabotage? The last time I checked, it isn't ethical (or smart) to sabotage one's employer. I mean seriously, unless the scrapee is inept or indifferent, it will fall apart eventually and the boss will get his. In the meantime, the OP can sleep at night with the knowledge that he didn't intentionally damage his employer's business or reputation.
And before someone points out that the scraper itself damages his company, let's not forget that he was instructed to write it, but he'd be sending the anonymous email of his own volition.

Seriously, though, one could craft a strong argument as to why pot is as beneficial as milk (in differing ways, I admit). Just ask a terminal cancer patient or a glaucoma sufferer....

yeah, it was for motion blur.

I don't think that forensics was the intention. I think it's more targeted to people who can't hold a camera steady.

Has there ever been a major OS that simply went away, period?
Windows ME? No, well it should have...bloody piece of shit.

Why did you go AC on this one? I was all set to mod it up...probably the funniest comment in the whole thread so far.
Since when do Greenpeace or Captain Ahab give a damn about a bald, vegan, techno artist**
[** I use the term "artist" loosely here]
It's funny and true.

the fact that there exists one Hotmail user out who knows more about the internet than just clicking the "Blue E" to get there.

Sinister? Hmmm...maybe. Are Larry and Sergey left-handed?
I've always liked 'Shovelware' for describing this particular scourge.
