What planet are you from?
I just remembered…
Planet ME, XP, Vista, 7, NT, 2000 or maybe Zune.
You’re on the wrong planet.
If M$ spent a little more time on the minute details, they could produce something that actually works.

My favorite is the icon displayed for the Windows PCs on the network… old, drab, CRT display with a blue screen of death :)

I think it just shows how Apple’s so obsessed with making their computers aesthetic, but not functioning well.

I wonder if the ‘A’ & ‘K’ on Font Book are Alan Kay’s initials. Apples little tribute to him.

He also has a nice little tribute in the movie Tron…

“A quick letter to Friends of Magnetism everywhere in the world” begins the letter shown on the FileMagnet icon. The letter–appropriately shown in an inbox–goes on to extol the virtues of this latest version of the iPhone to Desktop file transfer application. Very cool indeed!

Good article.

Just to let you know, the cool opening folder effect when dragging files onto a generic folder is nothing new in Snow Leopard. It’s been in Leopard all along.

Even easier to view the large versions of icons by setting your Finder window for Coverflow, and then dragging the top half down so it fills most the window. For any file that isn’t previewable (such as app packages) you see a high resolution version of the icon. Of course, Leopard is a prerequisite – sorry Tiger folks.

The 555 prefix is generally a fictitious prefix in the US and is used by Film and TV productions when a telephone number is needed in context. This is to avoid using actual working phone numbers that the curious among us might dial just to see who answers.
