Comment PS brained... (Score 1) 466

by j3one (#15734272) Attached to: Beginning GIMP
Here is a good reason why the GIMP is not going to replace photoshop for serious designers. Because we are technicaly minded artists. We think defferent and photoshop is perfect no matter what OS or look. Some people just pick up linux. No sweat. They see it, they get it, they do it. It's as natual as can be for them. Others see a painfully unducumented nightmare, they know would work if they just knew the little quarks and tricks, but they dont. So no switching for them. Same with PS vs GIMP. I know every little inch of photoshop, its built to go effortlessly from hi-end print to web design, and its advanced features blow away GIMP. Now, I am a BIG supporter of OS movement, but GIMP is not a contender, but it IS a viable solution for millions of people who want to do basic photo manipulation with a strong set of tools. GIMP wont be unlocking any creative brained designers anytime soon, besides there are whole industries built on adobe systems, and those arn't going away anytime soon.

Why Sony is Ready to Self Destruct 722

Posted by Zonk from the doomcasting-a-console dept.
jammmma writes "Before even launching the PS3, Sony is ready to self destruct." From the article: "PS3 is doomed, thanks to Sony's ignorant attitude. None of us had the chance to seriously evaluate PS3 and the experience it has to offer. It's impossible without a series of titles and an official product at hand, but from where we stand, Sony's damaging attitude is all it takes to diminish the value of PS3. Kutaragi may be right in defending PS3; after all, he can't criticize his own product, but instead of exciting users with valuable features and winning them over so they can start saving, Kutaragi makes bearish statements in response to Nintendo's announcement and Microsoft's take on Sony. Last I heard companies were at E3 to impress media personnel, which yielded positive publicity, not make childish remarks when chances were against them."

Web 2.0 Recipes With PHP + DHTML 134

Posted by Zonk from the web-2.0-the-easy-way dept.
An anonymous reader writes "Take a look at these full simple code examples for dynamic elements for your web apps, including: Ad boxes, Pop-ups, Spinners, and Tabs. Easy ways to show and hide content on the page." From the article: "Incorporating JavaScript into your page makes the page dynamic and creates a more compelling user experience. Users can get more data more quickly, look at information from different aspects, and seamlessly navigate the site -- and the site doesn't have to go back to the server for lots of pages. However, there's also a reason to avoid using JavaScript: browser compatibility. In the early days of flat HTML, Internet Explorer rendered pages differently from Netscape. Those problems were fixed, but when support for CSS was added, new compatibility issues arose. Now most of the CSS issues have been solved, but JavaScript compatibility issues have cropped up. These compatibility problems have no easy solution. You need to weigh the benefit of what the JavaScript is doing against the number of browsers you'll need to test against and support."
