Cat 'Photoshop' Schwartz

Cat Schwartz of TechTV put up some of her photos on her weblog. Pretty normal, you would say!

But what she did not realize was that there exists a teeny weeny obscure bug in Photoshop. What is this bug all about?! ... Photoshop generates a small preview image for images it produces and hides it in the original image. If you then just do a minor change to the original image like cropping it down and if you then save the image with the same name, the preview image hidden in the original picture gets saved as it was before the original image was cropped. Then when you click on the image in the File Open menu, Photoshop picks up the preview image hidden in the picture and displays it in the preview window of the File Open menu.

What happens then is for all to see. But before you click on the following link, I must warn you that there is a little bit of nudity involved here. So, if you are easily offended, please refrain from clicking.

Click here to check out the Photoshop bug that lets you keep "abreast" of whats happening in Cat Schwartz's life! ;-)

After what would have undoubtedly been a passage of time where one would've seen a red-faced Cat Schwartz, she recovers well and handles this embarassing episode pretty well.

Las 'Raigad' Vegas

The Maharashtra Government is seriously considering a proposal for the first ever casino in Maharashtra.

Commenting on the project, a Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) minister said, “It will bring in some good revenue and also be a tourist attraction. But since elections are round the corner, we have to be a little careful.”

Freaky animation

This animation looks like a dream that I would get in the night after eating something disagreeable for dinner in the evening!
