GNOME people had so much fun lately with jokes on notebook tabs. While some are obvious jokes (like d-bus one and tab on tab), some of the mock-ups really look realistic: gcalctool, banshee, pidgin, totem, empathy, panel, and possibly there are more.
None except Nautilus is real.

Time to give KDE a try

When last time somebody told me QT4 has support for vertical text and is using UCS4 internally, some impulse happens in my mind, though no action yet — probably it’s time to reconsider KDE again. During old days, one reason to abandon KDE is it’s inferior in terms of L10N and I18N — doesn’t support Hong Kong characters (QT3 using UCS2 only), translation is plain crap, etc. But things do change from time to time.
Right now what I can see from GNOME is just a small bunch of people keep fixing bug and adding more and more apps into core (the difference between 2.16 and 2.18 is basically a few development related applications), but no REAL INNOVATION. Well, they are superior in one way — taking others’ technology, copy it, and broadcast to the world that it’s their own greatest innovation since the wheel. The spatial mode of Nautilus is a well-known great example.
