Leopard Fake Screenshot Contest Winners Announced

Austin Sarner writes "Phill Ryu's Fake Leopard Screenshot contest which has been attracting a quite a bit of buzz has just ended and the winners have been announced! While there is a bunch of expected stuff in these screenshots, the entrants did not hold back when it came to trying out crazy stuff — and surprisingly, a good amount of them work great. Ranging from new window styles to a complete rethink of a window based work environment, these are sure to make any UI geek excited. The winners received over $1,000 each in prizes, and were obviously motivated to put out some great stuff. The judges included Wil Shipley, the creator of Delicious Library, David Watanabe, who makes NewsFire and Acquisition, as well as numerous other smaller devs."

>>IANAIDBT (I am not an interface designer by trade), but this really puts the the stupid in Keep It Simple, Stupid.

I know this is going to be modded as flamebait, but... "IANAIDBT"? If you have to explain it why use the acronym in the first place? And "Keep It Simple Stupid"? If you're so fond of acronyms why not just type 'KISS'?

I do like programming things that work super quickly, especially when they work super quickly, super quickly.

Too bad Aquisition is a GPL-violating abomination.
