Vista Magazine gets Vista running on a PowerPC Powerbook

In photoshop fantasy land. Is this actually possible with, say, Virtual PC? Call her on her Startac to find out.

Vista Magazine: You Can Drag The Handles Over The Edge You Know [Photoshop Disasters]

you forgot to mention the crucial fact
The image shows the website distorted into a weird trapezoid.

It's almost as if the inept photoshoppper involved couldn't work out how to resize the screen shot convincingly to fit to on the lappie screen .

as the title says "you can drag the handles over the edge you know"
the handles of the 'transform' tool, that is

This happens a lot. My current favorite is commercials for a windows speedup website that uses almost exclusively macs. While they could be using bootcamp or virtualization I'm guessing anyone knowledgeable enough to do that also knows how to avoid spyware. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3YRBzz_4Hg

Ditto Angstrom's remark about the weird trapezoid.

Call her on her Startac to find out.

That remark finally made me break out a LOL. Running Windows Vista ia32 on a PPC Titanium Powerbook was one thing, but combined with a mobile phone from 1996 really pushes the surrealism. It's like the title credits at the beginning of eXistenZ where glimpses of so many different mix-and-match contexts completely untethers you from a coherent reality and into a dream world.

Or, perhaps in recognition of Dark City's directors cut coming to bluraybackup in four days, I should quote from that:

There's no escape. The city's ours. We made it. We fashioned this city on stolen memories. Different eras, different pasts, all rolled into one.

Startac was a helluva phone for its time. Remember how some people were all wearing it on a cord around their neck, like a cop badge or a backstage pass? Good times, baby.
