A<\/span> couple of notes: The first link that I ran into this morning was a bookmark at Digg with the title ‘This is what happens when you let developers create UI’<\/a> (actual blogpost<\/a>). I have a problem with the ‘insinuation that developers suck at design’. That sir, is indeed a bad example of overkill by a beginning<\/em> and aspiring programmer (using Visual Basic in this case). The original developer acknowledges this on his webpage<\/a>. As for wget<\/em>, it’s the last application in the world that needs a user-interface: it’s too powerful to even contain in a simple dialog. A good and experienced developer would have left wget<\/em><\/a> alone.\n<\/p>\n

Bethesda is about to release ‘Star Trek: Legacy’<\/a>, a game that promises ‘an epic game of Starfleet combat spanning the entire Star Trek universe’. Hey, isn’t that the same wording that was used on the box of ‘Star Wars: Empire at War’<\/a>?\n<\/p>\n

A subsidiary of Logitech has made a new type of mouse<\/a> in association with Google. From the imagery I can only tell that it’s perfect for use in 3D environments. In three years, Logitech will come up with a mouse in the shape of a beer bottle.\n<\/p>\n

Earlier I was going to make the call and predict the winner in one of the categories of the CBA 2006 competition: In the Photo category, it looked like ‘Walk This Way’<\/a> was going to be the winner. This morning however, the odds seem to have changed as sudden as a cold spell that arrives in Nova Scotia. The Photo category currently is the only category where the number 1, 2 and 3 all have chance to win the race. Good luck to the ones competing in that category. We still have a day to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
