Goodbye Sopranos pictures -
The final episode of The Sopranos aired by HBO this Sunday ended with blank silence, and left millions of viewers forever wondering what happened next. There's a buzz that the real ending will only be available in the Sopranos final DVD. Right after the final episode airing thousands of angry viewers crashed the HBO website, and many intend to cancel their HBO subscription.
As a tribute to The Sopranos, let's photoshop them in any possible way. Immortalize Sopranos characters in paintings and art, show what the real ending could be, design collector's edition DVD set, or show how the series could be carried of with a change of cast crew. Perhaps even show how Soprano characters could be making a living now. These are just some ideas.
Goodbye Alberto Gonzales pictures -
Alberto Gonzales, the first U.S. Attoreny General of Hispanic origin,
announced his resignation from the job on Monday. President
George Bush accepted this resignation with regrets saying that
"Attorney General's clear name was dragged through the mud."
Alberto Gonzales came under fire from Democratic and Republican
congressmen, for poor handling of FBI terror investigations, and
sudden firing of several U.S. Attorneys. Gonzales' departure comes
just weeks after the resignation of another White House top ranking
official, Karl Rove, who like Gonzales was a close friend of President
George Bush.
To mark the resignation of U.S. Attorney General Alberto
Gonzales, photoshop him any way you wish. Examples may include
showing what jobs and personal life the future holds for him; how he
could have lived his life alternatively if he were born back in
history (e.g. medieval times), include Gonzales in movies, paintings,
advertisements, etc.
Google Phone pictures -
Search giant Google is planning to lay its hand on mobile phone market. For two years Google engineers have been working on a secret project designing
Google Phone which will run on Google's Linux-based software, and will provide integration with other Google services - GMail, Google maps, Google search, etc. The so called GPhone is expected to be a strong rival to the Apple iPhone, and is scheduled for release later this year.
Photoshop what Google Phone may look like, or what it should NOT look like. While we encourage you to submit "mobile phone" versions, you may also try designing static, or even antique Google Phone if you wish.
Goodbye Karl Rove pictures -
The mastermind behind the Bush's election campaigns in 2000 and 2004, Presidential top advisor and Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove announced his resignation from the White House on Monday. The partnership between Rove and George W. Bush lasted more than three decades, and Bush often called him "President's brain". The resignation follows the series of recent scandals where Rove's name appeared: the trial of Lewis "Scooter" Libby revealed that Rove was one of the White House officials who leaked the name of the CIA officer, Valerie Plame; Rove also refused to testify before Congress about firing of the US attorneys. The President joined Karl Rove in Monday announcement and said that they will always be close friends.
To say goodbye to Karl Rove, photoshop him any way you like. Examples may include: Postcards and letters sent to him by any Democrats and Republicans in regard to his resignation, showing the next job of Karl Rove, putting him on magazine covers, or immortalizing him in paintings.
Many thanks to Kiko for sponsoring this contest.
Google pictures - Photoshop one of the following: what will happen to Google in the future if stocks continue to fall; what Google can do to cut its costs or to increase its revenues; what happens to the shareholders / investors who 'lost their shirt' investing into Google.
Movies Merge as Google Buys YouTube? pictures -
Well, the buzz is upon us. Google has acquired YouTube in a 1.65 billion dollar buyout. Apparently Google's "Do no evil" corporate motto, does not apply to lighting flatulence, large men dressed as women dancing to Shakira tunes, and copyright violating uploads of prime time television. Tasteless? yes. Evil? well, maybe not. Definitely something that will need to be forwarded around via "work related only" email networks.
I wondered how Google video would be affected by this merging of the masses, and it looks like it may come off without a hitch. However, we here at Freaking News know better. Any company mergers and acquisitions of this magnitude are going to result in problems. We predict this merger will result in the merging of some of the hosted movies!
In this contest, you are asked to merge movies. Utilizing screenshots or movie posters, merge two or more movies into one glamorous creation. Comedy is a huge plus in this sort of contest so put your thinking caps on. Example: Lord of the Ringmaster (Merge Lord of the Rings with Jerry Springer's "The Ringmaster")
Google hits $500 a share; owns the world pictures - [ Google's stock price surpassed $500 for the first time on Tuesday, earning Google another milestone in global domination. ]
My, my, how times change. In the 90s anyone who knew what Google is was considered a geek. Now, anyone who knows search engines other than Google is considered a geek. In the 90s AltaVista was a king of search engines. Now, if you ask people what AltaVista is, they'll tell you it's what Schwarzenegger likes to say before he blows up some badass in his movies.
With the amount of money Google has, their "do no evil" motto slowly turns into "root of all evil."
Google is everywhere. Soon enough, when you ask your local policeman for directions to a restaurant, he'll tell you to "google for it".
It's only a matter of time before Google owns everything.
In this contest you are asked to photoshop what changes we'll see when Google rules the world - e.g. when Google buys other companies, products, buildings, cities, countries, and planets.
NASA, Google team up pictures -
[ NASA and Google have teamed up to make Google Earth flyovers available for the surfaces of Mars and the moon. Additional Google Earth data will include real-time weather forecasting and visualization, as well as tracking of the International Space Station and space shuttle activity. ]
NASA teaming up with Google to bring the next version of Google Earth is like a street bum teaming up with Bill Gates to bring the next version of Windows. On a tight government budget, NASA became like "down to earth" bum begging for money. Google, on the other hand, is getting into astronomy, and they made their first advances. Google's money is already astronomical.
NASA-Google already talk about possible space missions projects. Given the past mistakes, NASA asked Google to equip each space shuttle console with
"I'm feeling lucky" button.
In this contest you are asked to photoshop anything related the Google - NASA partnership. Feel free to show what changes this alliance will bring in forms of products, new logos, space missions, etc.
Goodbye, Bill Gates pictures -
Bill Gates has officially left Microsoft this Friday.
While Bill planned his departure for years, it happens at a difficult time for Microsoft - the company struggles to compete with Google for search engine domination. Microsoft attempts to make its own "live search" popular were not successful, and the company is back to negotiations with Yahoo about the possible take-over of Yahoo search engine.
Before "Microsoft" was registered as a trade name in 1976, the partnership was called "Micro-soft" for a year before the hyphen was dropped. In the first years of Microsoft, Bill Gates actively wrote code, and personally reviewed every line of code that was written by other employees. Gates was always fascinated with programming and was often described as a geek or even nerd by people who studied with him.
He went from zero to hero with Microsoft, he brought us Windows, but now the captain is leaving the boat. Good bye, Bill!
To say good-bye to Bill Gates, photoshop him any way you wish. Some examples are: showing what alternative professions he could have chosen, Gates in movies and paintings, photoshopping Bill Gates as a nerd (in the current or early years),
showing how he will look in his senior years, etc.
