Sorry, here's one more bit of video goodness to start your day off right.
"We came, we saw, we kicked its ass…". Hats off for having The Prisoner and MST3K clips in there.
My son would totally get a kick out of this one. He loves Godzilla.
I love the bit of the guitar playing in background. Nice nod to Firefly.
The plain fact is users will not read anything you put on the screen.
I've been convinced of this for years. When designing UIs, the first trap is to add supporting text to help the situation. But keep in mind that it may make you feel better about things, it really isn't going to help the user who most likely can't be bothered or is too overwhelmed figuring out what's going on to read anything.
Hmm, interesting concepts. I'm not sure if having titlebars on the side is actually better. Seems like it wold impede in trying to read the titles. Why not just lose them altogether if they're not that useful to people? And why does the music sound like the castle level in Super Mario Bros?
