it occurs to me that, being that the US is a permanent member of the UN and can veto any action and basically runs the UN, that the US, or anybody belonging/vinculated/associated/running/elected/serving with it, can ever be formally accused of war crimes...
except by cuba.
but nobody listens to cuba much these days.

things get pretty.
so as part of work i had to go to my local microsoft for a quick intro to their new roducts rolling out in the fall.
Namely, office2007 (with 6 versions) and http://www.microsoft.com/spain/windowsvista/ (which depending on who you ask, anywhere from 4 to 9 versions) and a whole slew of other ones that are server based and which most people will never see unless they run IT.
Thing is they got pretty. At some point microsoft took a cue from apple and started making itself appear friendlier to the end consumer... now it looks like something that squeeling to be your bestest friend.
Rounded edges, light wavy lines and that popular two toned gradient.. except that windows dressed it up in black... to contrast with the ever popular apple white im guessing.
as for office itself as a program? its freakin cute. get ready for a slew of office documents with light colors and gradients and fades... word excel and powerpoint are now intolerably cute. the problem i have with this... is that dammit, it was a cool friendly look but only because not everybody had it... now i can tell bob that hes fired cause we dont have any money, but all the time the chart will have a sunny disposition. its definately not greedy wallstreet anymore. http://imdb.com/title/tt0094291/ would not be as intimidating if he gave me a memo with images that make me believe an ipod unceremoniously dry humped my word document.
