Funny: Kiera Knightley’s photoshop boobjob has been all over the place recently — it’s a pretty extensive reworking. But then, that’s standard practice nowadays…

However, best comment goes to stephendann:

In photo 2, she has the quad damage. The skin colour darkens, the chest expands, the stomach contracts and the character skin is obviously altered so the rest of the players know she’s supercharged. In POTC:King Arthur, it’s a more subtle damage modified than (the) UT2K4 glowing purple bow.

LOL!

Tech: Old-timers may remember the Commodore PET’s halt-and-catch-fire POKE instruction.

Turns out modern LCDs may have a similar problem that can cause permanent damage from software activity, according to this posting to Red Hat’s fedora-list.

Update: Yoz mails, noting another case: the perils of reviewing games. Ouch.
