  1. If “mango” is right. Like where’d ya get the info – pls provide links.

    Ahhh so so sad. MacWorld is going to be a huge let down.

  2. Chrissy,

    I saw that, too! Did you hear of it on GoogleFinance or elsewhere?

    I’m curious… what does a photoshop expert think of the pic?

    It looks good to me, but I find the guy on the far right side curious… as in, what is he standing on and what is he leaning on?

    Actually, it’s pretty curious that it’s a netherlands site, too, but what do you think?

  3. I saw it on Google Finance. The quality of the pic is so terrible, coupled with the foreign site and the strange man you mentioned, I don’t really buy it. I would think that we would have seen other pics of it if it had been real and exposed.

  4. I’m pretty impressed that Photoshop can do that, actually. Me, I usually auto balance color, levels, maybe play with contrast and sometimes put some filters in… I see work like this and I’m just blown away.
