someone make an android parody of this, where you see all of these icons and colors awkardly morph into others that aren't consistent in size, color, stroke width, etc, maybe accompanied by some grunting sounds as the icons morph

it's a reveal video. so the first bits tease. then other elements pop up. then at the end it finally shows the whole thing at once. pretty standard fare.

buy a ticket, rent a car and go on a roadtrip of the southwest for 4 weeks or so
plan loosely what you want to see and in what order
go to places, and at the end of the day find a motel

yes most definitely. wen the kids are older a US road trip is definitely the BIG TRIP wife and I want to do with kids. we've done a shorter one from Florida to DC via tenessee and that was amazing but a bit rushed but definitely

I really wanna see that glorious landscapes. of course nz has some nice landscapes but I feel like the scale of great US scenery sort of eclipses us. what we have is huge spatial variety and looks v.diff to rest of world but as far as massive poo poo? not so much. also those pics make me want to live in a forest and trip trip trip

in the past she enjoyed a wee bit of them but they put her on an emotional roller coaster more than some and she's doesn't really like the "bad parts" so I think she'd say she enjoyed them but they aren't for her anymore


in theory at least. in reality drugs are illegal don't use them

It's also telling about their software that they want all developers in Cupertino than dotted around the world and collaborating online.

Google have lots of video rooms for meetings plus you have Hangouts, GTalk, and continuing attempts at tools like Wave. Apple has replaced OSX Server with a App Store package with half assed wiki and calendar, still no sign of a DMS.

i would like to point out that pics # 1, 4 and 5 are in fact the Real Yosemite after which apple's latest "production" (iykwim) is named and as you can see it is not ugly as hell at all. apple merely besmirches and dishonors the name with their blasé trash
