So, There's Only One Kid Out There In the World To Pose With Computers?

- Warner Crocker

Amazing. No wonder it is so hard to keep up with who’s doing what with the new class of ultra-portables. Apparently there is only one child in the world good enough to use in a picture promoting new gear. Oh, wait, that’s just a cheapo photoshop goof by some lazy ad exec.

Asus-msi-photoshop

Check out this from Engadget. Apparently this kid is so attractive that you want to do like Asus and MSI have done and just photoshop your gear onto the table in front of him. The original featured the kid with a MacBook.

I like the fact that Asus made his cheeks a bit rosier and his shirt a lighter shade of blue!

Hey, this Kid should get a free UMULCPC.

UMULCPC is my patented new term for these PCs. Please contact me if you wish to discuss further use of it. ;-)
