bundyo, yer, but i use hand drawn sketches and my menus are more logical :D
though that one you showed appears to be a lot further down the line than liqbase.
I was just playing around with using alpha blended images instead of sketches last night :) works quite nicely.

There was an Application for Mac OS 9 that let you toss icons around the desktop. Lot of fun, that.

Yup, but that's your modern these days. If you're not throwing around some pictures with any number of fingers - you're so old news. :)

But this one beats them all...

It looks like a developer trying out some visual effects. There is nothing wrong with that but it has little to do with user centered UI design.

Did I hear correctly that they are using piles as the basis for their desktop metaphore? Does that come with ointment?

I still consider myself a moderate and would prefer to be able to use either and have the tablet detect it. So there.
