  1. Call it sour grapes... by Overly+Critical+Guy · · Score: 4, Interesting · on KOffice GUI Competition Winner

    I'm hugely disappointed; I sent my PDF entry to three email addresses, even contacted Ingwa on IRC for confirmation of receiving my entry, and it's still not shown on the results page. I wonder if they ever received it.

    I don't know if my idea sucked or was plain and obvious, but it's a huge bummer it's not even on the results page for some reason, as though they never received it. Mine was an interface reorganization with an emphasis on a context-sensitive area to keep things familiar and free of clutter (first thing to go was that horrible toolbar).

    I can't believe all this time I've been sitting here thinking they were reading it. I put a lot of work into it. I wonder what the heck happened. :-(

    Since it doesn't matter now, I offer it to Slashdot. Click here to read my entry in original PDF form if you want to check it out. Let me know what you think. It's nothing revolutionary, but it's not intended to be. These crazy experimental office interfaces are exactly what the user doesn't need.

    Man, what a disappointment that they never even got it. Figures. But hey, I offer mine here as GPL too--if someone wants to use it for something, go right ahead.

    Last week when I submitted this story, there were three other images embedded in the text of the article. It appears they are gone now.

    Here they are:
    OS X-alike password request for program installation
    New "not responding" message and blurry translucent window borders
    Sync manager

  8. Hmm, images were removed from article! by bonch · · Score: 1 · on New Longhorn Screenshots And Schedule

    How interesting. Last week, there was an image of a white dialog box with the user account's picture and a message text that explained that you needed to enter the administrator password. Below the entry box, there was a classic Microsoft "Why do I need to enter this password?" help link. This graphic was embedded in the text of the article.

    It appears Paul Thurrot has removed it from the page. Since he's in close contact with sources at Microsoft, I wonder if they requested that he remove the image. Nonetheless, I have it saved on my hard drive. It looks very much like OS X's.

    Looking at the article, it seems there were three images removed. Here they are for all to see:
