“WTF is up with the new iDisk icon!? I get it, “cloud computing”. But seriously, why purple? What was wrong with the blue globe? I guess this got snuck in with the MobileMe 1.1 update.”

Windows 7: The Search for Dock

Speaking of stealing… Is it just me, or are these shots of the upcoming Windows 7 looking a little too similar to OS X?

I can’t wait to see what Microsoft decides to call that transparent Dock-looking thing. Given that they call OS X’s Widgets “gadgets”, I’m going to assume it will be called the “Spock”.
