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.

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.

It's much simpler. They will keep it alive when Windows 9 comes and see to it that things get quiet around it. With Windows 10 they will have a new grand 'vision' and abandon everything that does not fit into the picture, RT included.
And that's the reason why I don't care about any of this stuff anymore. Why not make things even shorter and not even use their junk befor they abandon it?

Some of the costs aren't just gradient values, some are very binary, the second cost line is a straight up show stopper for business applications. Fisher Price UIs may have a place but it is not the LOB application arena.
As for minimalistic UI, I'm disgusted with the change from Silverlight to MVC imagine if I had to cut off yet another limb!
So from the guy who spent the last 5 years building apps in YADMP (Yet Another Dead Microsoft Product), go for it, spend months getting your head around another paradigm, build your tolls to help your development, invest your time, effort and money into this WinRT environment.
BUT be prepared to throw the f***ing lot away AGAIN. I am so pissed with Microsoft if they did not have such a strangle hold on the LOB environment I would seriously consider a change.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

We had recovered from the first wave of the interactive web (all Flash(tm) and no content) but it has come back to haunt us in a javascript / HTML5 fuelled way. Both Auntie Bee and Bloomberg have taken to having messages leap into view when you are in the midst of reading an article. Why why why?

Because it generates more revenue for them?

They are not the only ones doing this. 
I never read obnoxious advertisements. Unfortunately, some hacker is getting paid for every one that they put in my, and your, face.
