Comment Re:What is this, "Ken Burns Effect"? (Score 1) 104

So, "Ken Burns Effect" may mean something to most American Mac users, but to everyone else in the rest of the world it means nothing at all. It may as well be the "Ken Morse Effect". In fact if it was I'm sure there would be a lot of snide remarks along the lines of "Who the heck's this guy?". So why not call it "Pan and Scan" or "Rostrum Effect' for the rest of us?

The thing is many non-Americans are already hacked off about the wastebasket being renamed 'trash', and more seriously, about the lack of offline printing support for iPhoto. You know, those nice bound photo albums you can order if you live in the States? Can't get 'em where I live. My PC owning friends can order something similar even if they are using crappy PC software. Grrrr...

I'm not anti-American, just a little peeved ;-)
