Sure, some things can be represented as an icon but what would be a suitable, unambiguous image for "formatting" or "replace" or "page setup" for example.
The written word is an incredibly complex and yet concise combination of 26 unambiguous images which can carry a much more precise meaning that an icon.
A picture may be worth 1001 words but at least you'd understand what those words mean on the first read.
You intersperse it with your own content, including speach, music and sound effects combining your own ideas with the original product....kind of like how you do when forking an open source project.
See, the ad isn't a finished ad, it's just the voice part (think "function") that someone else wrote (think "coded").
The only thing is that it took me about 1 week to come from a standard button/trackpad concept to one large button and the surface feeling is a bit... different.
True but then when you go back to a standard trackpad...bleurgh! It's horrible!
I'm a musician and a touch screen would be perfect for me. Unless you want to be staring at the computer a mouse is very limiting. The time it takes to figure out where you left the cursor and reposition it over the thing you want to click on can be crucial, especially if you're performing live. Plus you get the touchy-feely-ness which is severly lacking in a keyboard & mouse setup.
Yeah, it might get a bit greasy but then so will I.
(I removed those buttons completely and can just hold the Windows key and middle-click anywhere on a window do close it. [The left and right buttons are for movement and resizing, with the same method.])

I'd rather have the sound of a screaming elephant.
Actually, over the course of history herbs have been proven time and time again to have a therapeutic effect
So have placebos.
So...monkey see, monkey do?
...........*BOOM*
surely?
Or maybe we could create a gravity-powered engine for pelling space craft.
How cool would that be?
Speak for yourself. The only reason I don't use a tablet pc is that the last time I was looking for a new computer they were prohibitively expensive.

Good tips there. I had assumed you can do it in linux - what can't you do?
What about in windows?

The ones I see every night, Pinky. The ones trying to take over the world.

It's better than Durrm.
Durrm durrm durrm.
It's a common misconception. He was given the name after singing Andrew Lloyd Webber tunes as he tried to go through customs.
The answer, my friend, is...
