I've been avoiding Facebook for the past year-or-more because Zuck wants to be the next Google, and as we all know by now, Google is no longer the "Do no evil" company. Any company that Zuck owns, I will also never use, so that puts Instagram on my ban list.

It's not usually the Company in these cases, but rather the call centers they contract out to for customer service who are responsible for this poor follow-the-script-at-all-costs "service." When I get this kind of "service," I usually stop the agent, tell them I've tried all of that stuff already, and ask to speak…

Did you get a chance to go see it? It must've been really fun!

Nah, they just want to show Google how it's REALLY done right.

Skratch,

As a child of the 60's, I lived in a few places that looked somewhat like this — especially the basement, and the "formal" living room. Even though we had a dining room, we only used it on special occasions, otherwise, we ate at the kitchen table, the kitchen counter, or the breakfast nook, depending on how the place…

Truly cool. It was interesting to see how some of the people interacted with the patterns being projected. What would've been really neat is if they could've made it interact back, like, react to how people are moving and adapt the patterns accordingly with perhaps distortions, or waves, or something more…

When I was in AFROTC in college, we had an opportunity to go see one that had landed at Hill AFB on a layover for a few hours. It was so cooooool; you could still see some of the fuel leaking out between the gaps in the fuselage. And then there was the circle of armed personnel ringing the plane and warning people…

I believe it is an SR-71 Blackbird, or at the very least, the test plane that became the SR-71. It's my favorite jet plane of all time.

Absolutely DELIGHTFUL! I particularly like hearing Ria's laugh as she rides the roller coaster; the one scene where you see the two curves and her carriage moving through them, with her laughter just echoing in the otherwise silent afternoon...so magical!

Oooh, and this one too. :)

Could I possibly get a link to download the middle one?

This could also be a demonstration of his skills in Photoshop; part of a portfolio he would present to potential employers and/or clients...

Brian,

"... and boom goes the dynamite."

What shaped Pixar into an Oscar-Winning Studio are all the creative people who make the films Pixar attaches it's name to. Their vision, their passion, their skill, and their drive are the heart-and-soul of Pixar; to give anyone else the credit for the company's success is an insult to these folks.

So by that logic, Bill Gates should be getting the credit he deserves for keeping Apple from going under by loaning his friend, Steve, the money he needed to turn the company around, right?

This is the way Windows 8 Shoud've looked and worked from the start, easing people into the new Metro (or Modern, whatever — it'll always be Metro to me) interface and Live Tiles, instead of forcing such a drastic paradigm shift all at once.

ThinkGeek made that product using a 3D printer; they may actually produce it though if there's enough interest in it.

It might not have to be. ThinkGeek asks it's customers which of it's April Fool's products they'd like to see become realities, and considering this particular one was created using a 3D printer, it's entirely possible they might actually develop this one.
