It says, “We don’t intend to provide anything to anyone that isn’t hip to our culture already.”

Next up, ideological purity tests, with permanent bans for failure.

A very sad aside: Wallter Becker from the great band Steely Dan died at the age of 67 today.

I’m pretty oblivious to things like logos on a good day, and had I simply seen the new one, I could not have told you that anything was different.

On the other hand, perhaps it’s more subtle than my imagination can perceive. Example, once you see the arrow in the FedEx logo, you cannot “unsee” it. Does anyone see any hidden message in the new YouTube logo?

And marketers think that doing this increases the number of people they draw and that no one leaves or gives up and goes elsewhere…

im serious
first thing the marketing department does that you hire is to make all other departments bad but theirs and have the ear of the person making choices they can wisper in.

they market themselves first
then they market you if your lucky
but they are mostly rote… no brains, often pretty people
(and this is more for internal marketing not ad firms)

[funny thing is they tend to imagine they are like the real movers who werent pretty people but pretty driven people who often came from nothing – hat tip to David Ogilvy of Ogilvy and Mather]

on another aside
Kim Jong does NOT have a H bomb
someone gave him one to use and thats that

If anyone here besides me knows what goes into making one work on the physics side, and the number of atom bomb tests you need to do to even get the exact numbers and more… please clue people in better than i can (but suffice it to say you need a very very well made atom bomb to make a h bomb fire and not fizzle)

the whole point of it is about balance
ie. off balance

I spent a good ten years working as programmer (for the little computers inside other things that you normally do not think about – and you should never HAVE to) and the First Rule was…

Thou Shalt Not [Monkey] With the User Interface

The only exception was the one mentioned: where it is such a huge benefit that it’s worth the change. This is *extremely* rare.

“Your names are numbered down to a precious few.” This is the 2nd wave of 1984, the third wave will be uninended consequences. It counts down, eventually, to which side you are on when lead meets the meat. Have no lead, you are at best a bystander, and they will execute you. Choose wisely. Get trained or be a victim.

The point of progressive UI is to constantly look for the lowest common denominator. Which leaves old timers and users approaching the mastery limit, in the dust. It “progresses” the scale by equalizing your experience with the 15-18 year old “new gen” mainstream customers who have IQs and cpus less than half in the tasks certain people have become good at.

This not only appraises the “new gen” as being smarter and faster than the “old timers”, but it also is good pr and propaganda, as it highlights the “talents” of the new gen and the “obsolete weakness” of the old gen.

Even though, of course, 1000-10000 hours in a program is not at all “slow” compared to the progress of the Left.

The ultimate user interface is virtual self programmable macros and AI aided combos that suit the user’s style.

AutoHokey is a program used to basically program your own macros. Macros are used in botting, AI craft, and automatic functions via a script.

They are not easy to use nor learn, so the mainstream will dumb down an interface for 18 year old Leftists, that don’t suit the ultra users. The ultra users have 10+ years of experience in a certain interface and can do things in a streamlined approach similar to 1000 hour black belt proficiency martial artists.

10000 hours of mastery is in “hacking”, the creation of UI and code customized to your performance specs.
