Engadget Giveaway: win a Cowon S9 PMP! (Engadget)

Jan 28th 2009 5:09AM If you can't make global giveaways, don't make them at all.

Theft is Bad Karma: Stop Pirating Photoshop! (Download Squad)

Aug 22nd 2008 2:48PM I like this site and the editors way of thinking and well... Doing their jobs.

But this story just blew my mind up with the "no comparable software for the professional user."
With the "professional" being hi-lighted and everything.

I just feel bad and really insulted. I make my living out of designing websites and graphics. I do own Photoshop, but I use Gimp for 98% of my work, it works just fine. And as the latest on 2.4 and upcoming 2.5 I haven't found anything that can't be done on Gimp that can in Photoshop, unless you just use some lame preset configurations and 100% automated tools.

It's as "pro" as you can get. All the features that the REAL professionals and an artists need are in there. If you are using Photoshop, your fancy effects and "super" filters and gizmos, don't call yourself a professional.

It's just like claiming to be a professional IT security consultant, when all you do is get some scripts from milw0rm and pretend you are a genius.

Or claiming to be a martial arts master, copying your movements from a video as you go.

Just sickens me.

I don't give a damn about "green" products and the environment.

Feb 11th 2008 5:10AM Heh, and what if you can't validate your copy even when it's a real one?
If Microsoft wants to put some tool to get them more money, they have the right to do so, but for the love of god, make a working one! Or buy a working one somewhere.
But please, the crap they started using couple years ago made me and my company to change all servers to BSD and Linux and most of the workstations to Red Hat, just because of that.
