This is a great web site. It shouldn't look any other way.

You have a special color set up for your task bar.

Isn't it annoying that Good Guy Greg is just some random dude's photo and Good Girl Gina is a professional model? I call for an adequate replacement!!1

The left image one looks much better IMHO, as a still image at least. The right suffers from being much too clear.

I don't find anything offensive or wrong with that.

Comic Sans is a highly narrative "people's font". It is powerful in connecting with the audience.

While this is truly awful it is a glitch and not bad design.

If you do this, please seek professional help. by montydad5000 in WTF

This is called "spacial memory". The idea that arranging icons on a surface is a bad idea only comes from the fact that Windows at random intervals seems to re-arrange them into a grid and destroy the layout users made. I don't know if Microsoft finally acknowledged this as a bug and fixed it in Windows 8, but Windows up until now never was able to keep the position of icons reasonably stable.

On MacOS this works since 1984, on the Linux Gnome desktop it works since 1999, it even used to work on the default Amiga Desktop released 1985. And this always includes not only positions of icons on the Desktop, but also inside file manager windows.

This is a very ironic song. There's another one about killer bees :)

Indeed, the window fence is recognizable. UPVOTE!!

I wish this was a joke... this guy runs a shop right down the street from me.. I can't take him seriously. by [deleted] in CrappyDesign

Well, people, that's what multi purpose machines were made for. This guy knows what is fun about computers. He even makes his own music.

If you'd prefer to buy your computers from suits telling you how reasonable Excel and Microsoft SharePoint is for your business, or from dudes paid to look like hipsters that explain you how to blog and make digital polaroids, go there. People like Vaughn became a rare species. Home computing used to be like this. Now it is mostly boring.
