How to Deface Web Sites Without Getting In Trouble

by Terrence O'Brien, posted May 13th 2008 at 6:32PMBreaking News


We're sure many of you have dreamed of becoming accomplished graffiti artists. However, the sad truth is that you're a little scared about the whole law-breaking thing and can probably barely draw a stick figure.

But emo-hip hop crew Atmosphere, as part of a promotion for its new album -- of course -- are letting average-Joes deface property on the Internet. The Web-based (no download necessary) tool gives you virtual markers, spray cans, and stencils to help you create your masterpiece.

Sure, the Tag the Web tool won't suddenly make you as cool as Banksy, but it's fun to use, and once you're done you can share your creation with others on the Internet. Don't miss the the 'Tag the Web gallery,' where you'll find some truly impressive renditions of Web pages augmented with virtual spray-paint and stencils.

Hands-On With Adobe's New Free, Web-Based Photoshop Express

by Thomas Houston , posted Mar 27th 2008 at 5:05PM



Today, Adobe launched a beta version of Photoshop Express. Aimed at anyone who wants to do quick edits of pictures, this new flash-based version of Photoshop is totally free and runs right in your Web browser -- perfect for anyone who doesn't want to clog up their computer with a full program installation or drop hundreds of dollars on the regular version of Photoshop. The service also allows you to manage and share photo galleries with friends and family with at very own yourname.photoshop.com.

Photoshop Express gives you 2 gigabytes of online storage, and allows you to connect, edit and share your photos directly with Picasa, Photobucket and Facebook. We gave it a quick spin today and are impressed with the program's slick, clean, and easy-to-use interface, but this is definitely not a Photoshop replacement. While you can clean up your pictures and easily share them with friends, you won't be able to "photoshop" images like this.

That said, Express lets you make a range of basic photo edits -- red-eye correction, exposure changes, cropping and more -- that will be more than enough for most non-professional photographers. Also, we were impressed with the app's speed, especially considering the Web-based nature of the site. Ready to try it out? Sign up here.
