GUYS. GUYS.

GUYS.

HOLY FUCK.

GOOD GUY ADOBE releases the ENTIRE CS2 SUITE. FOR FREE.

That means free access to Photoshop CS2 - and that already has most of what you could ask for, really.

All you have to do is create a FREE ADOBE ID.

I am not sure about commercial use, but MAN. FUCKIN’ SWEET DUDE

reblogging for my friends that are still learning the ropes, and need a bit of a cash break. I used cs2 up until about a month ago, so it might be old, but it still does the job :)

And guys, like, it’s free. That’s awesome. Like, if you don’t have a good photo editing software/app, and you have room on your hard drive, you should download this.

First Look at Xbox One

First Look at Xbox One:

parislemon:

While everyone else was scrambling to get stories written as quickly as possible following the Xbox One unveiling, Wired’s Peter Rubin got the “exclusive” early look. And Wired’s presentation is quite nice.

I’m still not sure what to think of the new Xbox. Certainly, Microsoft did a better job presenting it to the world than Sony did a few weeks back with the Playstation 4. But even Rubin’s thoughtful walk-through makes the whole thing sound fairly complicated. I’m still just not sure that tablets and smartphones haven’t changed the gaming and living room space more than any of the old guard in the console arena cares to admit. (Though it’s looking like Nintendo will have to sooner rather than later.)

I had both the original Xbox and the Xbox 360. Overall, I found them to be solid systems with a number of UI/UX frustrations that I simply don’t think I have the patience for anymore. And then, of course, the red ring of death. Maybe Microsoft has greatly improved the experience here. We’ll see.

Certainly some of the new Kinect stuff sounds interesting. But the “wow” factor of the first Kinect seemed to subside faster than anyone thought it would. Just like the Wii before it. I’ll take simplicity and great user experience over something that gives good demo any day.

With that in mind, I’m still more optimistic about whatever Apple brings to the table here whether it’s later this year or early next year. Surprise, surprise, I know. But there is zero chance I’m going to deal with IR-blasters to have a “seamless” experience.

This. Pretty much my feels exactly. Although, I’m also interested in what android gaming consoles develop into.

Parallel Universes: Many Worlds, by MinutePhysics

Yup. So, if this theory is true, then our universe operates on a form of fate with perceived free will. Because, in order for our universe to be our universe, every quantum decision would have to be the way that our universe would have it be, or it would be a different universe. Yup. Mind blowing.
