Work comes as Education week approaches
Next week is Education week for my school, and my music class is focusing on cultural music in the form of a keynote presentation. My group was assigned to do “Afro-caribbean” music. I honestly can’t believe how much work it involves. We were given several weeks to work on it. Throughout most of these weeks we would work in class to gather research. Of all the group members, only two of us really used our time properly. (Of course, I’m included in that “two”). As a result, I had to pay the price.
One of the group members really did no research and forced the two of us to do his research for him, while the other gave me his research the day before it was due. Being the perfectionist I am, I was left to put everyone’s notes together into the actual presentation.
I’ll tell you, it’s not very fun. (more…)
Apple fails to keep it consistent – STILL
Okay Apple, I’ve had some gripes with you in terms of user interfaces. Let’s be honest, many people have. I know you’ve tried hard. In fact, Mac OS X Leopard is the closest to perfection in terms of GUI harmony you’ve ever put out. However, for a company who seems to pay attention to the smallest details in their products, you’ve left out a few (minor) problems.
Today’s issue has to do with iTunes. With iTunes 7, a brand new user interface was introduced. While this was slightly controversial, it had to be done. It was truly our first introduction to what Leopard would be looking like. So you think that it would have the exact same UI as Leopard, right?
Right?
Well, fundamentally it carries a similar look. But as shown in the image above, you can clearly see that it isn’t perfect. The gradient of the background looks a little different, and the text-engraving look Leopard is famous for bringing to the table isn’t there at all.
So, Apple, in your next version of iTunes, please correct this minor issue for me. Please?
I’ll put a cherry on top and everything!
