Putin on the Ritz
The main angle of the post (dressing exactly the same all the time) is a very interesting one, but the end points are somewhat scary.<p>Think of it: if it's so easy to fake color photos so that people won't notice, isn't it easier to fake black&white photos? How do you know this is real: <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/05/Yalta_Conference_%28Churchill%2C_Roosevelt%2C_Stalin%29_%28B%26W%29.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/05/Yalta_Con...</a>? I don't. If we routinely don't trust colour pictures in newspapers, why should we trust historic photographs?<p>We've reached a point in time when we can start actually faking history. The only way to check if something happened now would be to find original copies of old photographs and books. But it's only matter of time before they'll be gone forever, or stuck deep in museum vaults, to be accessed by selected few. We could rewrite the history for next generation and no one would likely notice it.
