Isn't that an oxymoron? R***B**** and Apple Design Awards in the same sentence? I guess they don't have to worry about giving that iPod Mini away!
Oh yeah, First Post!!

Hey at least I get noticed when I walk down the street!
Posted by: Norm O. Tidwell on May 11, 2004 11:08 AMThis is quite disturbing information, that RB is actually trying to encourage use of their product. I'm sorry, but we just can't let this happen. While it's not technically heresy, it is evil. So stand firm everyone (that part of you DOESN'T need to be firm, LDS) in your faith in the idiocy that is R***B****, carry at your side a computer with some of the VanTol's software, and use a flamethrower on any RB crap you encounter. Purge it where ever you see it, show them no mercy.
On a lighter note, we are offering an internship to those who KILL the most people trying to enter RB programs into the Apple Design Awards!! If they enter multiple programs, you get multiple points!
Posted by: Laemkral on May 11, 2004 01:39 PMWe being me not the VanTols. No one interns with the PvT crew. I asked, it's a very exclusive club. Apparently you have to be born into it, like royalty.
Posted by: Laemkral on May 11, 2004 01:40 PMHi all. My name is SC. I love RB. I'm not afraid of coming out.

Posted by: Scientyprickally Correct on May 11, 2004 02:14 PMGather around little children and old Norm will tell you a true story....
There once was a man named "Booger". Booger was always being "picked" on when he was a little kid. This made Booger very sad since nobody cared about him except for his father Mucus and his mother Membrane. The only playmate Booger had was his little brother Snot. Life for Booger was hard and he was always being "flicked" around.
Booger was always hanging on people's sleeves begging for someone to pay attention to him. Occasionally Booger would get a very soft sheet of fluffy tissue and Booger would wrap himself in it and feel like a king. Alas that feeling was short lived and Booger end up in the garbage can.
Booger once had a encounter with a tribe of child cannibals who tried to eat him, but he narrowly escaped.
After moving to Utah, he met an Indian named Running Nose. Running Nose showed Booger the ways of the sinus. In the end, Running Nose finally taught Booger to drip. After two years with Running Nose, they sneezed and parted ways each to their own journey through life.
With his new found skills he learned from Running Nose, Booger went back to his home town of Nostrilville. When he showed up at his twenty year class reunion, Booger became the hit of the party when people finally realized how big boogered he was!
The moral of this story, don't "pick" on other people unless you want to end up being a flicked like a booger yourself! To be a booger is to know a booger.

Please confirm my choice of action immediately!
With the metal crap Apple put on the Finder, some RB app might actually have a chance of winning...
Posted by: PersonWithTaste on May 12, 2004 11:54 AMCan someone explain to me the logic behind the "brushed-metal appearance" steaming pile of crap that is the OS X 10.3.x Finder?
Can someone explain to me why when I brush metal against my PowerBook LCD it just makes the Finder look more fucked up than it already was?
I mean seriously, PvT needs to award at least a 10.9 to the OS X 10.3.x Finder. And Safari too.
They both work well (which is why they don't get an 11), but they both look terrible. I mean come on, even I have better fashion sense than that. And that's not saying much, not much at all.
Oh yeah, don't forget - I have a big weiner.
Posted by: longdongsilver on May 12, 2004 01:25 PMThey don't both work well. Safari is annoying to use with a one-button mouse (or is there some trick that I haven't heard of yet?)
And the finder is hell compared to the lovely lovely old finder.
Posted by: mordis on May 13, 2004 04:35 AMI want the NEXTSTEP Workspace Manager back! I want a Shelf and I want to be able to properly merge two directories! And NO brushed metal!
"You humans call this thing a 'cursor' and you move it with 'mouse'! Bah! A Klingon would not use such a device. We have a Karaghht-Gnot - which is best translated as "An Aiming Dagger of 16x16 pixels" and we move it using
a Gshnarrrf which is a creature from the Klingon homeworld which possesses just one, (disproportionately large) testicle... which it rubs along the ground... a fearsome creature indeed.

Do you think the Germans have us surrounded?
Hansel, for God's sake do me the courtesy of looking at me when I speak to you. Wipe those damned maggots away from you're eyesockets, will you!
Are you losing weight, Hansel? And when was the last time you had a bath?
Hmm! It certainly is quiet around here ...
Posted by: The Dutch Resistance on May 19, 2004 12:56 AMDickheads without an aesthetic bone in their bodies. Move to Linux and let the proper Mac users be. The metal finder is a work of art, as is the rest of OS X.
Posted by: on May 19, 2004 05:01 AMDon't get me wrong, I love Mac OS X and couldn't picture myself using any other OS.
The brushed metal Finder is, however, a user interface abomination. A significant percentage of your screen real estate is wasted in this UI, both for "esthetic" purposes and due to the fact that redundant information is presented in every single Finder window you open. The latter problem is a serious design problem and one of the reasons that MS operating systems are such a pain to use.
That is just its most obvious flaw.
I wouldn't give the Finder a flaming 11.0, but there is definitely room for improvement. In any case, I would hate to have PvT comments turn into a real discussion (heaven forbid!) so I'll just mention at this point that I have a big weiner.
Posted by: longdongsilver on May 19, 2004 05:35 AMI have so much real estate to waste on my big weiner that I once considered giving it a brushed metal look. It's still hurting...
Posted by: Scientyprickally Correct on May 19, 2004 06:57 AMI prefer the grape jelly donut look, myself. It's cool and soothing and doesn't leave open festering sores in embarassing places.
Posted by: longdongsilver on May 19, 2004 07:57 AMSO THAT'S WHERE ALL THE GRAPE JELLY DONUTS WENT! i knew something was up when I was forced to consume a raspberry jelly donut instead...

Posted by: Joe on May 20, 2004 04:21 PMI think it's meaningful. R*** is having to bribe people to get them to use RB. That's low. Even for them.

Little too quiet, actually.
