You joke, but this is very true. A well maintained car from the 1970's or earlier will run the same now as it did then* A new car with a touch screen infotainment system tied into the engine management system, tied into the cruise control/lane change warning/auto driving systems will become obsolete to the point the car is worthless.Selling a used car will be like selling a used computer. If you're lucky, you can give it to your nephew....

*yes there have been advances in fuel economy and safety, but the cars still run.

Where are you finding photoshop running in a browser? I admit the new interface on Photoshop cc looks like crap, but it is still a native desktop app. Or are you talking about the mobile extensions designed for iOS and android?

please...

This could become a game...
Pizza.delivery.store is somewhere in China....

Agreed. From what I see on a very quick browse, the words seem to be chosen randomly.

Victoria, BC has Cedar Road, Cedar Avenue, Cedar Hill Road, Cedar Hill Cross Road...

A few years ago a local radio station ran the following (tongue in cheek) warning:
"Attention tourists. Please note the name of the street you are driving on as it is likely to change at any moment"

Way more true than many would like to admit...

exactly this. ^^^^

(Yet Another Solution In Search Of A Problem)

I can't see why this is better than a 3d coordinate system (polar or rectangular). for most places you can ignore the altitude, but I thought lat/long solved the location problem (fine tuned by gps recently) a long time ago.

Maybe I will have to read the article....

I started using Photoshop at version 3.0. and used it for several versions until it got too expensive. I moved to GIMP for several years, and got quite good using it, but then I had an opportunity to try Photoshop again. I hunkered down and learned the "new way" of using Photoshop, with layer masks, adjustment layers, etc. Gimp can do a lot of similar things, but not as easily, as quickly, or as accurately. (accurate may not be the right word, but it is much easier to fine tune things in Photoshop)
In short, once I learned Photoshop, I could do the same things that I could do in GIMP but better, and there were things I could do in Photoshop that were just too complicated in GIMP.
Different people may have different needs, but GIMP is not a Photoshop replacement

pretty much spot on. I would add that GIMP scripts are nowhere near as easy or useful as Photoshop actions.
GIMP has many quirks, and you can do a lot of things but most of the time creating the same effect is easier and/or faster in Photoshop.

Digicam is a much better Digital Asset Manager (DAM) than Lightroom, however Lightroom does some half arsed raw developing for people who don't know how to use Photoshop.
I say this as a semi-professional photographer/artist who uses Photoshop and Lightroom almost daily.
I tried to use GIMP, but things like actions, and some advanced editing techniques were just too hard or less efficient in GIMP.

so much for the matrix...

agreed

comparison by a windows fan

There is a spectrum of usability, from simple portable consumption through to desktop computing power. Where you decide to compromise depends on your wants and needs. For some, the portability of a tablet outweighs the lack of power. For me, I do not normally need the crazy power of a desktop, but I do need more than what a surface does, let alone a tablet...
