Just ignore Rain Wilson being a moron, but this is so impressive. Being able to relight and image with another similar photo in photoshop, and even cooler being able to steal a look from an image or movie and process your video with it. They say it is very processor intensive and I believe it, but still very impressive!

Fever not going to be my Google Reader replacement, as my server does not seem fast enough!

So I have been giving a lot of RSS readers a try and love that Fever syncs with the iPhone version of Reeder for the iPad, but I am pretty sure Fever won't be my replacement choice. And it isn't that it is a good solution. It works like advertised, and I like that it is self hosted, but that is also the problem. At least for me.I use BlueHost for my web server and like it very much, but Fever seems to run really really slowly on it! I am talking an hour to update all my feeds, which takes minutes at most for other programs.

Bart at Creative Impatience has the news that Adobe Anywhere is an Enterprise Only solution! It takes not one, but 4 servers to run! YOUCH!!!! And that works for 6-8 editors! And it requires 25-50 Mbps connection!I was very excited about this, but not anymore. This is way too high end. They need to do at least iChat Theater so you can edit remotely with Premiere Pro like you could with FInal Cut Pro 7!
