I didn't see any airplanes...

Maybe they should find an extinct (dormant?) volcano in Japan with a secret camouflaged sliding door. The aircraft can't use the secret camouflaged sliding roof because it needs a horizontal approach.

Take a look at a seriously delicious person[^] .
This is what happens when Maxim cover designers get hungry, and all they have is a Photoshop software.

OK, the video just shows off PShop's ability to mask layers. It has nothing to do with turning a slice of pizza into an attractive woman.

No, I won't tell you that... So long as you don't try to tell me that the Harlem Globetrotter games are choreographed!!

Don't take anything seriously from CollegeHumor (folks who have produced this video). This is just a spoof of various impressive and super-fast Photoshop editing videos on YouTube.

Someone posted this a few days back too. Some people just don't get bored of pizza.

No, but that pizza is now few days old, this one is fresh.

I have been keeping an eye on this for about a month hoping he would make it, and now he has.

For some reason today I day dreamed for a while about WinRT.
My current mood about it is that I absolutely don't care about it and whatever I did with it is already fading from my memory...
I was just wondering if it was the right move!
Not some kind of 'do the right thing' pattern/fashion nazi but more like... trying to predict the future, will WinRT be ever massively relevant?
Reading a FUD article by Rockford Lotha (or some spelling like that) It occurs to me that Microsoft marketing machine fuddled the thing but it is actually a simple proposition.
What is the cost / benefit analysis for the user (currently)
- (COST) only works on Win8
- (COST) has much less functionality than desktop app (no multiple windows, no drag and drop, tons of controls missing, poor file support, poor db support, sadly minimalistic UI, etc...)
- (BENEFIT) marginally faster than pure .NET app (and plain faster app start)
- (BENEFIT) much easier deployment and update (no user security problem / install issue there!)
- (COST) the easier deployment is only through MS Store, it's pathetic for Enterprise internal app
- (BENEFIT) better DirectX integration (C# still a second class citizen though. yeah I know about SharpDX (it's good), thanks)
- EDIT (BENEFIT for C++ Devs) you can develop in C++ and have powerful XAML UI but... I can't see any MFC developer being excited by restricted Metro UI! (maybe it's for the casual DirectX programmer?)
When I look at this list I can see that the benefits are not worth the costs, at least as far as I am concerned for my pet projects and user base!
Problem solved!

I had to vote this post up ! How refreshing to read something here that could actually be the basis for a discussion with content.
But, personally, I remain dumbstruck in the face of RT: ain't touched the critter, and can't forsee that happening in the future.

Call me skeptical but let's see how far this goes.
