Friday round-up
by the editorial team
Today’s OOXML vote isn’t complete yet, but while you’re waiting for the news, here’s what we’ve been looking at on the web this week:
- Wired has a great photo-essay of places where people had world-changing eureka moments.
- This week Adobe launched the long-awaited Photoshop Express, which they’re calling “hosted Photoshop.” That’s a bit of a stretch, since you only get a handful of basic functions. But you do get 2 GB of free photo storage and the ability to do the basic things most people want for their photos, like red-eye removal. And because it’s web-based, it’s Linux-friendly.
- The LA Times wrote about the latest Internet meme known as “Rickrolling” with the inspiration for the meme, Rick Astley. If the name doesn’t ring a bell, he was popular in the late 80s for the song “Never Gonna Give You Up.” And of course now you’re going to go listen to it on YouTube and have it in your head all weekend. Sorry.
- Stop-motion TRON. If just those words aren’t enough to make you want to watch it, what else could we say?
