I really hate it when I eat too many potato chips and all the fat goes to my upper back region, creating this undesirable double-shoulder look. Sometimes large pieces of typography get stuck in my shoulder fat rolls and I have to go to the hospital to have them removed; it totally erodes my self esteem.
a dutch writer once remarked, standing next to marlene dietrich: "if my wife had only one of those legs." i fear he would not have said this by looking at this picture.
This is NOT a PSD, it was shot with a very narrow angle lens. We learned a few weeks ago how a wide angle lens hides things that are, or should be, in plane(spelling intentional) view in the resulting photo. Here the very narrow angle lens is doing just the opposite. We can see around the curves of her body to see parts of her back normally hidden from view by the laws of physics.
Everytime someone moans about the 'my girlfriend' thing, another 2 comments involving the words 'my girlfriend' pop up just to get back at them. If you want a trend to die out, ignore it, if you keep moaning about it, you're just just fueling the fire.
That is truly the worst magazine cover I've ever seen. Shockingly bad. Her hand is chopped off, right thigh is just slapped on from another shot, she has two left arms and two right shoulders.
Funny, I would think that ``Free of bias and self-interest; impartial'' would be a good thing to have in a cover model. The American Heritage Dictionary reports that 88 percent of its editors think that it's an error to use disinterested as a synonym for uninterested.
Now she does seem uninterested, which is probably something that should have been corrected.
"—Usage note Disinterested and uninterested share a confused and confusing history. Disinterested was originally used to mean 'not interested, indifferent'; uninterested in its earliest use meant 'impartial.' By various developmental twists, disinterested is now used in both senses. Uninterested is used mainly in the sense 'not interested, indifferent.' It is occasionally used to mean 'not having a personal or property interest.' Many object to the use of disinterested to mean 'not interested, indifferent.' They insist that disinterested can mean only 'impartial': A disinterested observer is the best judge of behavior. However, both senses are well established in all varieties of English, and the sense intended is almost always clear from the context."
Usage Note: In traditional usage, disinterested can only mean "having no stake in an outcome," as in Since the judge stands to profit from the sale of the company, she cannot be considered a disinterested party in the dispute. This usage was acceptable to 97 percent of the Usage Panel in our 2001 survey. But despite critical disapproval, disinterested has come to be widely used by many educated writers to mean "uninterested" or "having lost interest," as in Since she discovered skiing, she is disinterested in her schoolwork. Oddly enough, "not interested" is the oldest sense of the word, going back to the 17th century. This sense became outmoded in the 18th century but underwent a revival in the first quarter of the early 20th. Despite its resuscitation, this usage is widely considered an error. In our 2001 survey, 88 percent of the Usage Panel rejected the sentence It is difficult to imagine an approach better designed to prevent disinterested students from developing any intellectual maturity. This is not a significantly different proportion from the 89 percent who disapproved of a similar usage in 1988.

No one seems to have noticed yet another photoshop SNAFU here: Her bikini top is not connected to her. The left side of her bikini top (our left) goes into her arm somewhere. The right side stops short of the side of her body.
BTW: According to Merriam-Webster, 1st definition for disinterested: " not having the mind or feelings engaged : not interested; no longer interested.

She has a special "Slanted Lower Bezel" edition of the ipad to go along with her super thighs!
She's her own parasitic twin.
My girlfrien's thighs can do that.

Linguistic disaster!!
You mean uninterested, not disinterested.
Looks like it's done by a soccer-player: almost
I see the Apple reference... but.
Are those other places her G(oogle) spots?
I think I'm more interested in the fact that Apple and Google have rarely shared the cover with a Commodore 64... until now!
@David F - know-it-all disaster!
I think he means disinterested. Look in up in a dictionatorary.
Look at the top of her head!!! ... Her hair!!! ... I guess someone wanted her cloned taller.
HELP - I'M SEEING DOUBLE!!!!
I've heard of a double chin,
but a double thigh,
a double arm ???
Interesting
FINALLY...missing fingers! It's been a while. (Maybe caused by a camping accident???)
It's quite boring to read still all this "my girlfriend" joke... can't you create something new?
a dutch writer once remarked, standing next to marlene dietrich: "if my wife had only one of those legs." i fear he would not have said this by looking at this picture.
and whats with the chopped of fingers, please?
Steve Jobs: "She's just not holding it right".
That's not a disaster, she's obviously modeling the "Spatial Distortion" iPad app. This blog has really gone downhill.
/kidding
NOT a PSD. Obviously Apple's brazen attempt to corner the pan-dimensional dismembered Lesbian tablet PC market.
I should know, I shill air tools for the same market (except for the pan-dimensional part)... I'm just too 3-dimensional for that demographic.
Holy cow, that's the girl who plays Madison Paige in Heavy Rain! :O
If they aren't even going to try, why should we care? Personally, when I'm using Photoshop, I glance at the screen from time to time.
Cosmo: Is it possible to install a girlfriend/owl filter on the comment page?
You sure this isn't someone being caught using paste-up with wax?

@Matteo : My girlfriend keeps saying that.

It's like a picasso nightmare, jeez it just hurts my head. come on you anti-PSD losers, where for art thou now?
wv: not sure, but it's an anagram of "i spat"

Your mum could do that.

Maybe the headline should have read "Apple vs. Adobe!"

And what's with that giant disembodied thumb in the bottom left corner? Not only is it casting TWO shadows but they're totally the wrong shape.
(insert easily identifiable international sarcasm symbol here)
Amber MacArthur!?! Noooo!
Nothing wrong with this - everyone knows the I Pad comes with its own thigh coloured pocket

"Disinterested" is commonly used in error for "uninterested", but being common doesn't make it any less an error.
They're two separate words for a reason.
Similarly, "enormity" does NOT mean "very large size", no matter how many people think it does.
Well, I guess she's one of the few people who has a place to tuck the damned I-Pad when they're not using it.
Thigh pouches, it could be the future.
Stuff Happens.
