None of this less than 140 characters nonsense, to post on woofer, you must post at least 1400 characters! The site is identical to twitter, although not affiliated (allegedly) but there are some odd borrowing of code that seems to scrape your profile pic from twitter...

PhotoShop Disasters

"Have you seen a truly awful piece of Photoshop work? Clumsy manipulation, senseless comping, lazy cloning and thoughtless retouching are our bread and butter. And yes, deep down, we love Photoshop." This blog is dedicated to the foul ups made around the world by people who think they know what they are doing. It's not the software that is at fault but PhotoShop does however enable these things to happen with regularity. Today the big news was the Microsoft Gaffe, where the image of a black person was doctored with the ghead of a white person. OMG!

One of the most original and creative flash games I've played in ages!

I played this ages ago when it was just a short demo, but they've since released the full game. At $10.99 it's high price point for a simple flash game in today's climate imho, but still a great play.

Police spy drones?

Talk about becoming a police state!

How long before there are US army style predator drones with the ability to 'neutralise' individuals

Rugby no longer holds the high ground

<rant>

Off topic here but I couldn't let this pass without comment:

I have often sighted rugby as an example of a sport played under tight rules with fair play and sportsmanship a core value (and something football could learn a lot from, especially the respect given to the ref). You don’t see players launching themselves into the air or rolling on the floor trying to get penalties. I will get quite heated when discussing this with football fans at the bar of my local!

But then this happened:

Rugby Blood Scandal Link

Yep, that blood is fake! I really can't believe what I'm seeing...

What does this say to the younger generations out there? That cheating is ok? That you don’t need talent or skills, you just do what you like to get what you want?

No wonder you can’t move for hoodies and chavs…
