NEXTEL MEMO
After a cunning infiltration into Verizon's headquarters, agent 008 was revealed. All knowledge of 008 shall be disemboweled. The following log details the situation.
Well first off, the tiny lock symbol at the bottom of the screen is a great idea in theory-- but like the need-oil-indicator in your car some people just don't notice it. Now, if you walked out to your car one morning to find it has changed colors and the dash said "please give me oil boss" then we would probably see less stranded blonde soccer moms mini vans on the side of the road.
This is a good thing, personally I think it's cool-- it will just depend on its implementation. Hopefully it will not become skinnable, the last thing we need is skinned SKIN-YOUR-SECURE-WINDOW!! ! pop up advertisements.
You're a chopstick. How can someone move from.NET to chopsticks? Seriously...I'm calling the BS flag on you.
"Chopsticks were developed about 5,000 years ago in China."(http://www.calacademy.org/research/anthrop ology/utensil/chpstck.htm)
"During the Middle Ages, aristocrats often favored silver chopsticks since it was thought that silver would turn color if it came into contact with poison"(http://www.factmonster.com/spot/chopsticks 1.html)
And no, the "middle ages" were not invented by americans in the late 1800's by amish asian's to distinguish differentiating time periods.
"Middle Ages, period in Western European history that followed the disintegration of the West Roman Empire in the 4th and 5th cent. and lasted into the 15th cent"(http://www.burstnet.com/cgi-bin/ads/ad10126b.cgi/2089/RETURN-CODE)
Yadda, yadda... fall of rome, some time in the "middle", then the 1500's...basically, a long time ago... not so much the 1800's.
random thought... pertaining less to MorphOS and more to an insomniac's late night niggle post.
hehe niggle... funny word. I think it is real.
anyways...
the gui is old, it is dieing... we need something less tiresome then double clicks and appearing windows.
interaction needs to be efficient... not hollywoods "virtual reality", minority report style.
no aqua interface.
maybe instead of a mouse, our hands can be tracked... and really not have to leave the keyboard.
hmmm....
imagine typing, and then lifting the right hand a couple inches above the keyboard and slightly outstretching the fingers, similar to the shape of a pistol and pushing objects in a mock three dimensional environment.
picture a word processing cube- one side of the cube could be the document itself.
another side could be temp clipboard space.
type away at the keyboard, lift the left hand... spin the cube and punch the printer that is rendered on the "tools" side of the cube.
to save, just punch the white typed document through the wall into the cube and push the entire cube to the side of the virtual space. The document was saved within the cube...
would you like to play a game?
lift the hands from the keyboard, with the palms to the air, grab the sphere that is dropping from the top of the monitor and punch a side of it to start up virtua girl...
I dunno, what the hell I'm talking about.
ahhh sleep...I'll try that !
