The future of user experiences

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a little upset that we are nearly seven years into the 21st century, and I don't yet have a flying car. "The Man" has been saying for centuries that the year 2000 would be the magic year that we all started living like The Jetsons, but I'm still driving to work on the ground like a sucker.

Finally the powers that be are making some progress. Still no flying cars, but we're moving in the right direction. Smashing Magazine has a great article about user experiences of the future, and my heart nearly stopped when I saw the first entry - it looks just like something out of Star Wars. Check out the link below for the neat stuff.

You can't do this with a pc!

This is probably the coolest app written for a laptop ever. It converts your Macbook or Macbook pro into a fully functional light saber. Try that with your dell, gateway, or even the exalted alienware. May the force be with you!

Leopard After a Day

I just upgraded to the newest mac os, Leopard, yesterday. So far so good. The only new features I have used are stacks and quicklook. These are both very cool features and work as advertised. I have not noticed any glaring bugs yet, but all of my printers were deleted after the upgrade. Also, Yahoo chat no longer worked, but luckily Yahoo just released a Leopard compatible upgrade with lots of new features. This brings more parity between the popular chat client on both the Windows and Mac platforms. It also seems to play even nicer with a Windows network. I have not done much digging with this, but it seems like they are getting closer to Windows-like single sign on when you have the AD plugin installed.
