I'm not sure what's wrong with the new Facebook. It hides cruft I don't usually want to see and gives me prettier newsfeeds. What exactly is everyone's problem with it?

It's odd, takes a bit to get used to, but hey, who are we to fight with the powers that be...

How is it "odd"? I'm seriously yet to hear a good argument from anyone about this. And I've dropped in on the "I hate the new Facebook" groups and everything ...

By odd, I mean things are grouped in a totally different way compared to the old FB. Not necessarily better or worse, just different. I personally don't mind... just takes some getting used to.

Fair enough

in all honesty thou - bloody good game - credit to both teams.

True,

but given credit to to both teams, at current exchange rates, we should be 20% in front!

haha, no, just that I was used to the old Facebook and the new one is vastly different.

FWIW, I started using the new Facebook as soon as it was available (same as the new eBay). I'm open and accepting to change.

funny how when the Aussies lose to the Kiwis (which happens relatively often in Union... nothing else though ) they resort to the same old jokes... *sigh*

Same goes for origin when you inbred redneck northerners win

Played with my umbrella and Skyport remote triggers yesterday. Hubby isn't particularly cooperative but he'll sit in his chair at least

I think it's kinda funny how emotional people get about a bunch of knuckledraggers chasing around a lump of leather...

How do the skyport triggers compare with Pocketwizards?

dunno if everyone heard about this as its a few months old..but its certainly interesting haha..was reading some reviews of a nvidia GTX 2xx series cards and saw this about Photoshop taking advantage of these graphics cards...

Also, a nice example. Adobe took a 442+ Mpixel photo (which alone is 2 GB in file-size). Now they started zooming in and out real-time ... with no effort at all. As if this was an easy task to do for the PC. Again assisted and empowered by the GPU. A regular CPU would drown here -- literally your PC would die a horrible death. Pretty much panning, zooming, and rotating via GPU hardware acceleration worked on the fly. Now let me just state that this was an example shown, there's nothing definitive of an implementation like that in the next version of Adobe's software. Pure and merely an example. Though I for sure am keeping my fingers crossed. That's really exciting stuff to see, guys.
