They don't do it with Web standards though. There's always something better
anyway...
Why GIMP is Better than Adobe Photoshop
,----[ Quote ]
| 1. GIMP has a simple and easy to use Graphical User Interface compared to a
| more cluttered working environment in Photoshop.
|
| 2. GIMP has a way lighter footprint than Photoshop. You don’t need plenty of
| disk space to install GIMP. The size of Gimp’s installer is less than 20MB;
| Photoshop could be around 600MB.
|
| [...]
|
| 7. GIMP's open development model means that it is much more readily available
| on more operating systems, plugin development is not limited by developers
| and as such has no need to compete with Photoshop; by comparison, access to
| Adobe Photoshop's SDK requires authorization.
|
| 8. GIMP is available at no cost compared to Photoshop’s hefty price tag.

| The quality of a product is most often measured as the extent to which the

On AIR: Getting ready for primetime
,----[ Quote ]
| Are you still intending on a Linux release after the 1.0 release?
|
| Absolutely, the reason why the Linux version was delayed is because the Linux
| version of the Flash Player was delayed a little bit. So really the Flash
| Player is kind of the core of AIR and AIR is dependant on what it can do.
|
| So now that the Linux version of the player is out we've actually started
| development on the Linux version of AIR. I don't think that we have a release
| date for that but it's something that we're really excited about and we're
| going to bring as soon as we can after the 1.0 release.

Web designing with Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| As a freelance web designer, I really thought migrating to Ubuntu Linux will
| give me a really hard time. I never thought that Ubuntu Linux has a very good
| graphic design tool that can do what I am doing with Photoshop. Although Gimp
| is still way too different with Photoshop, I still see Gimp as a very
| powerful tool in graphic and web designing. It also possess features that
| Photoshop has.

Adobe Photoshop: Online Edition

| One of the risks of trying to find a niche to build a startup is that

| these startups are going to be in serious trouble when Adobe releases
| a free, ad supported online version of Photoshop in six months.
