| Enter GIMPShop, a variation of GIMP designed with a menu layout nearly 
| identical to Photoshop. Thanks to this variation, Ubuntu users could 
| uninstall GIMP proper and then install the Deb file provided at the previous 
| link. This will provide artists a very close clone to the more familiar 
| Photoshop. Perhaps the best part of this is that GIMPShop is completely free, 
| unlike its closed source cousin.

How Did Apple Get iTV So Wrong?

,----[ Quote ]
| The other issue is how narrow the niche is for Apple TV as currently 
| configured. Open it up even a little and sales probably will pick up. When 
| Apple enthusiasts don't rush out in mass, it's missing something.

The Apple update that isn't

| It seems all the update does is turn on file system journaling. Although this 
| feature is normally enabled on new Macs, it seems some MacBooks and MacBook 
| Pros left the factory with it turned off.

Great. So there was no journaling.
