Hey all, this here is a picture of me gone through photoshop. I know it looks way depressing and emo but I still like it very much. It has expression and a message, so it's still great. I love interpretive pictures like this. It makes you want to just stare at the picture for ages and wonder what she is thinking...

Summary:
For some time now, people have known that Microsoft has made a newer operating system since Windows XP. The computing community however was not so impressed with what Microsoft has "new" in store for the world; there was nothing ground-breaking for them anymore in this business. This author goes on explaining, in an almost biast form, how the new OS "Vista" is very "distant" from what it claims to be. Dvorak claims the reason of this is because Microsoft has no competition and it becoming lazy with it's progress.
He then goes on in this article with other OS company opinions:
Apple - Vista has the potiential, but we all know Macs are better.
Microsoft - I can't survive on Windows anymore, but XBox will put the pennies in the piggy bank.
Linux/Apache - We're so much hotter than Microsoft right now with MySQL, PHP and LAMP.
Google - I am the Internet Application King! Now all I need is MSN..
He then concluded on bombarding statements of the potientials of powerplay each of these companies have in producing much better OS than Microsoft. It was even suggested that Google should start it's own OS with Linux. Whatever will happen, it sounds like the competition between these corporations will be very tough.
What's so good about Vista anyway?
Impact:
This computer corporation battle has enough power to effect everyone all over the world. Personally I find the joining of corporations very threatening. There is so much power behind these corporations, and it makes me shudder just to think about one massive corporation controlling the whole world. The world is their oyster, but if they are going to forcefully open it with a knife, take out the edible part and eat it whole and throw away the precious pearl inside?
Have you ever seen the documentary Michael Moore did on Corporations? That has influenced my opinion about corporations, and it makes me feel very disgusted at the way the power is not controlled with these insensitive "persons" (ie - any corporation).
The webpage layout inspiration is finally finished! I made this layout about a week ago, but I have to work out how to change the html of my blog to work with this set out.
I think it looks pretty awesome, I'm not sure about the dotted line and the big "A" overlapping the main square where the content will show, but it will still be readable. Tell me what you think. Are the "P"'s legible?
I'm back home now.
I was looking through some blogs and I found this awesome one at random. I love the layout, it's inspired me. I'd better get photoshop out and start getting expressive with some digital art! I wish I was good with photography, but unfortunately I'm not so great.
