DeIMG turns images into HTML tables
Satirical software and news company The Daily Grind today unveiled DeIMG, a re-branding of its software That's Not A Picture, which is designed to turn images into table data, for, as the author puts it, "browsers which support tables but not images". The largely pointless and futile app converts PNG, JPG. GIF, and PDF files into HTML, XHTML, or XHTML+CSS. Usage of the application is largely in question, as the developer proudly displays users' qualms and frustration on the product's webpage.
Users can determine cell size to optimize the Table's resolution, while the Generate Header button creates a standalone HTML page.
"This program sets new standards..." says a user. "The author should be commended and then beaten. I recommend That's Not a Picture wholeheartedly. To whom however, I have no idea."

An image, turned into a high-resolution table

Love it so much that I downloaded and installed 5 copies.
But, people all over are taking this seriously. Doofuses.
Actually, it's hard for me to tell whether it's that the download is taking forever, or that the browser is having a bear of a time rendering the freaking massive table.
As less than worthless hacks go, it's genius! I bet it was massively fun to build... but it's kinda sad that a developer has that much free time on his hands.

A bitch to open the file in the first place - even with a Dual Processor and 4GB of RAM_
I managed to get it to open in Code View - but trying to have it show up in Layout Mode would have taken too much time_
