I guess with the internet, and its vast wealth of information, it’s a lot easier to dig up the past than it was before. Maybe it’s inspiration, maybe it’s just copying, but the sweetest looking design to come out of Microsoft’s competition to dream up innovative next-generation Windows-based PCs just so happens to look exactly like something Apple came up with a long time ago.

The fourth season of The Apprentice has finally come to a close, with Donald Trump choosing superstar candidate Randal as his next Apprentice. Personally, I thought he should have chosen Rebecca, who seemed much more focused, and driven.

It’s been such a fire-happy season, letting go of two, even four people, at once, that I figured hey what the heck, they’re both great, hire them both!

I thought “Oh how nice”… and then I noticed the “Found Objects” menu on the right hand side. Aside from looking like a video game, it actually kind of acts like one, where you can mouse around and click on things to get additional content that I might add is very well put together.
