Cnet writer shows his ass with latest anti-Apple blogs article

Apple-centric blogs play an important role in disseminating information… While not all that surprising, the FUD factor can get pretty hot and heavy sometimes. You know, that tendency to try to discredit any major threats to Apple’s dominance. Namely, Android.

This guy has his head so far up his ass that it’s hard to even laugh it off. He manages to completely ignore reality, and do it with a straight face – unless of course this is April 1st and I lost all track of time.

iPhones no longer appeal to youth

“What we see is that youth are pretty much fed up with iPhones. Everyone has the iPhone,” he said. “Also, many are not happy with the complexity of Android and the lack of security. So we do increasing see that the youth that wants to be on the cutting edge and try something new are turning to the Windows Phone platform.” – Niels Munksgaard, Director of Sales for Nokia

Riiiiight. These crazy kids today… they don’t want ANYTHING that some other kid has, and security is definitely “top-of-mind” when the average 15 year old goes with mom or dad to pick out a new smartphone.

Learn Photoshop’s Color Replacement Tool

As you may recall if you’re a long-time reader (going back to the CreativeGuy blog days in 2005), I posted an article titled Color shifting and replacement in Photoshop covering the easiest way to change the color of objects in your image. It’s an excellent and simple overview, which I re-posted here at TGM late last year. Veerle also covered the tool in this blog post in 2006. Well here we are in 2008, and video is all the rage these days, so here’s the same color replacement tip in a video post over at Sebastian Sulinski’s Design site. This tool is often overlooked by most designers – though professional photographers are most like as attached to it as they are their favorite lens. Play around with it for a while, I think you’ll begin to see how powerful the tool can be in no time.
