    I generally design them, and pass them onto my friend to make them a reality, but I'll definitely keep you in mind if I need some LOGO work done.

    I?m really pleased with how this has turned out after a few refinements. Do you think I have a future in web/interface design?



    I think so, that looks too pimp, they should do that to the whole of OSX.

    Well I think they just might be, so your wish might be a reality very soon.

    There's no reason for them to do it with iTunes if they didn't plan on carrying it over to the rest of their apps.

    You have to host the image somewhere (flicker, your own website, etc) and use a link to embed it.

    Matinée is very Apple-esque in sound/name

    Actually.. the current Apple one is clearer IMO.. although I was sold on this new idea untill your comparison post. Loosing the pinstrip on the currnet one might be a good call though.. \

    I think it's no competition which is better, and it's not the current one.

    Seriously, though, max_naylor: I design web interfaces for a living. I started finding my way around it when I was 16 (10 years ago, actually). If that's what you want to do for a living you're off to a good start.



    Well that?s lucky, I am 16.

    As far as Macs go, portables seem to be where the action is, so that seems like the line to expand. Not sure exactly what a MacBook mini would entail... Philosophically it would be related to the Mac mini: Tiny. Smartly designed and engineered. A low-end switcher-driver. But with some major debilitating factor that keeps it from stealing sales from the higher-end machines. Maybe it doesn't have an optical drive. Maybe no firewire and/or bluetooth. But still tiny and slick.



    Incidentally, I've read a lot about how the "Welcome to '07" message portends some huge announcements at MacWorld. My initial reaction, however, was that this message was a sign that MacWorld could be low key. The message almost seems like an attempt to reset expectations away from just MacWorld to the entire year. Like a preemptive strike against the sell-off that would occur from a low-key Keynote. It says, "don't worry, the insanely great stuff is coming by the end of the year."



    Edit: One more thought - Regarding the iTunes store access via a WiFi iPod - doesn't the recent implementation of "reverse syncing of purchased music" suggest that might come?

    the "new" one might look cool, but the original one is EASIER to read, theres a difference there.



    in web design you need to grab the viewer quickly and make them comfortable so they can make a choice to buy your product and keep surfing, if they have to do ANY kind of squinting to actually READ the print on your page, they are more likely to turn off.



    So, EASY to READ wins over COOL IMO



    Google is a much overused example, you dont have to search to find the search bar like you do with other search sites

    that is an INSANELY GREAT mock-up!



    mac book mini NO firewire, but given the mini has more USBs than the iMac i dont know what else you could lose? it HAS to keep the optical drive because you NEED theswitchers to see how easy macs are.. no optical drive would remove that.



    Reading the iPod Extreme run down just made me SMILE! and the come together tag is the best yet
