Submission + - Myspace Design "Sense" Meets Facebook Plat (insidefacebook.com)
MikeJ writes: "Inside Facebook has the scoop on a slightly controversial Facebook Application:
"Facebook has always been known for its clean, minimal look, and the fact that it does not allow users to spice up their stylesheets with their own colors or themes. Today, some clever (and humorous) hackers have found a way around this restriction. The app is tongue-in-cheekily called I CAN HAS A MYSPACE PLZ and was clearly made for a few laughs at the expense of some hole found in Facebook's style-protection system.""

Submission + - UK Company develops 3D Lookable User Interface (spectasia.com)
Alan Radley writes: "MATT Services Ltd, a software company based in Blackpool in the UK, has released a new version of its Spectasia 3-D desktop software for the PC. Spectasia is an entirely new class of information appliance, which they have named a Lookable User Interface (LUI). It provides enhanced visual accessibility for files, documents and programs located on PCs, company networks and on the Internet.PC users spend much of their day plodding through hierarchical Menus. However Menus are woefully inadequate today, when we face increasingly cluttered desktops which are full to bursting with item choices. Menus force users to read and scan long lists of text, and items are obscured by visual clutter. Users have a tendency to become lost, and can forget both what they have seen, how to find it again, and even what they were looking for in the first place !
With Spectasia you can say goodbye to all this aimless searching; because here your visual memory leads you straight to the item you want to find. And less time spent staring at the screen means a fresher outlook and significantly reduced eye-fatigue !"
