(3:38:17 PM) dmkun: yeah… mac like things are becoming more and more popular
(3:38:29 PM) dmkun: people like their eye-candy

Yes it’s true. Even computer geeky guys are interested in a visual interface like the Macintosh of now. The pinwheel of doom can suck my nonexistent dick.

This concept is definitely fun to look at and probably the user gets a little thrill at orchestrating the prettiness, watching the flow of it all. Okay great, it’s fun to look at. Things that piss me off:

-hesitation
-lack of organization
-distraction

The browser is using the cloud float technique when viewing all open programs or files on the computer’s hard drive, similar to how Macs currently can view all open programs in a neat placemat setting regardless of the number of windows. i like the way Mac has it: take the cascaded windows and separate them all to be viewed at the same time in an ordered manner. This floaty shit, while pretty, is fairly disorganized, probably leading the user to constantly be using the search feature. Is searching bad? Definitely not. But. If we’re going to use the search feature all the time, why waste space on having little pictures of files float around the screen at different “depths?” Doesn’t make sense to me.

With the clouds, the way to select a file is to hover the cursor to wait for it to be highlighted (that is my impression anyway). Hovering wastes time. It takes a moment for the computer to recognize if this is the file to be selected when there are five files in one spot (at different depths).

Everything rimmed the outside of the browser when the correct button was pushed. That part is orderly. The cloud that poofs into view when a folder or whatever is selected is a mess. That’s where that searching thing comes into play again. Why bother with the pretty?! Pretty leads to distraction, which leads to slowing down. When you have to get shit done, the distraction time can add up in a day’s time. I thought using computers was supposed to be a speedy-type deal.

Floaty cloud shit is a good idea for a website, something that isn’t used constantly. I’ve seen it on art portfolios before (with cute music no less) but for a browser… idk you guys.

The iPod phone thing at the end was a nice touch. Hah.

the dog just haaad to be named something silly.

Bernann McKinney paid RNL Bio, a South Korean company, to clone her now deceased dog. She has five puppies genetically the same as her pit bull, Booger. How much for the quints? $50,000US. McKinney plans on keeping three of the pups for herself and donating the other two to a service program.

The cloning charge is to be up to $150,000US, but McKinney being the first and also the public figure for the process was only charged one third of the pricetag.

dis wittle echidna juss wans to be fwee okay?!
