My aching eyeballs

This is just terrible. Check out the three finialists for the licenseplate competiton (you can also vote on your favorite one…) here in the home state of good old South Carolina. They have got to be just about the worst examples of design I have seen in a good while. Maybe back in ~~1995~~ ~~1992~~ 1989 these would have been okay, but my oh my.

Wall-E or the next Pixar movie

Posted by Gene in Random Stuff

Reports are abound about the next Pixar movie after this summer’s Ratatouille. It’s a tale about the Mars (or some planet) rover “Wall-E”. Scheduled for 2008. Yep, basically I love anything Pixar does almost as much as Apple…

WALL-E, from Academy Award-winning director Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo), is scheduled for release June 2008.

jPhone, really?

Posted by Gene in Design

Looks like Sun is going to give the Apple iPhone a run for it’s money, seriously, I doubt it…

Sun doesn’t expect the new software to be ready until months after the iPhone launch. With that in mind, it will be impossible for Sun to beat Apple to the punch; the company has a good buzz going already.

Of course, there’s also the fact that Sun has offered its Java 2 Mobile Edition for years, a mobile platform that has done little to advance the state of the art in cell phones and really nothing for consumers at all.

So if the only thing they seem to be competing on is the design of the interface, do they seriously think they can compete with Apple?
