Not surprising that it's in the dictionary now. The reason it sticks out to me is because when I was in college and taking 3D digital art classes, it became a joke among my friends whenever an instructor would use the term "orientate" or "orientated". This was 18 years ago, so it saw plenty of use then, but at the time it was not in the dictionary, so it drove us nuts.
There were a lot of weird modes of speech from instructors then, like the ones that pronounced sphere as 'spear', or fillet as "fill-it", and biped as "bypt".
But really now, irregardless is in the dictionary too? What has the world come to!?

Nah, these are pretty great and much better than a traditional tablet for end-to-end drawing. Do you draw, Westy?

Traditional tablets are just messy... try to draw a straight line up or down... every stroke is a goddamned irritating process of trial and error. The tablet, your arm/hand, and the monitor, all have their own "square" orientation.

After ten years owning a couple Intuos tablets I have not gotten any better at drawing with it (while my pen+paper drawing skills have improved greatly). I have left my 21" Intuos unplugged for most of the time I owned it, in fact. This is because I have to look at a screen while my hand is in another place using the stylus. It feels like trying to draw with some kind of robot arm holding the pen. Looking directly at your hand, and directly at what you're drawing, makes it so much more natural.

The only way I can do any good "drawing" with an Intuos is to draw it on paper first then scan it in and "ink" it with the Intuos. Sort of defeats a large part of the concept of a digital art tablet.

This is the stupidest shit ever fucking hell.
it looked like the image was a 3d render rather than a drawing , and on-top of that its the type of drawing you could draw with a mouse prity much using splines as fast as you could with a pen.
I mean the basic wakom is gr8 if your used to working with paper and pens and its a good way to sketch things out with that style of drawing but really a good artist can probably produce the same end result with same effort using basic mid range wacom. the cintequ and above range are nice but they are far to clunky and impractical.
I think they should focus effort on a very portable wacom pad that's basicly like an I pad but specifcaly for drawing comes with latest photoshop and loads of drawing tools , + high rez digital cam built in.

regardless of the products which are for the most part really good . The protentois nature of this advert is a joke and utter bullshit.

2.5 minute intro bored me rigid... so by the time I got the grpahics I was ready to move on... but persisted, and....
didn't really understand what I was looking at. Didn't seem particularly great to me (perhaps because I didn't understand it) - just didn't see the point.
why is the interesting, different, revolutionary, worth watching?
nearly upvoted as it had a dog in it... but again, didn't really understand why it was there or what it was doing or why it was moving so unrealistically.
move along... seemingly nothing to see here


It's called graphic demo like digital art. There are usually no plots.

Just a computer graphic demo to demonstrate digital art, designs, music, and your computer. Go read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene ...
