That's retarded. Why shouldn't art students take classes in other subjects? Steve Jobs spoke about a typography class and how it shaped aspects of the Mac OS later.

I see a huge problem when there is such a disconnect between programmers and artists in a game development team. Even if they get just a taste of "development", classes like this can be VERY beneficial to artists, if for nothing else than gaining an appreciation for developers and the development process. I would say the same about programmers learning a bit about art and design.

I've seen how similar classes have educated artists about the entire process of building a game instead of just art assets, and they were better artists because of that knowledge.

I had a Nokia 8210 a long time ago. Granted it's ancient history, but that phone was definitely sensitive to how you held it. If you touched the top of the phone, the signal strength dropped dramatically. Haven't had a Nokia since.

I'm just sayin'... I've experienced similar antenna issues in other brands... looking at you, Nokia.

I know it seems minor, but I always hated waiting for my computer to bootup. I usually won't turn on my workstation just to play a game, so the only time I play a game is either at lunch or after work when it's already on (and when I'm tired after a full day of work). Maybe subconsciously I relate PC gaming to work.

Ergonomically, I hate playing on my PC. Some people enjoy playing immersive games with their nose 12" from the screen, but I prefer sitting back on a couch and playing games on a TV.

My main rig is for work, so I don't want to move it to the living room, but like I said I prefer playing on my TV over my monitor. Plus when I play social games I don't like having to cram my friends in my studio.

These little hassles have a cumulative effect over time, and I find myself playing PC games less and less.

I render/paint in Photoshop and Painter, and that is where GIMP really fails. The brush system is absolutely horrid, with half of the controls under the toolbox and the other half on the brush palette.

Not to mention the silly UI takes up a large portion of my 24" monitor and is useless on my laptop. The toolbox is HUGE and leaves little space for the actual workspace.

About the Aptera:
I rather hate the look of it, but I'm guessing the reason for the trike configuration is that it can be licensed as a motorcycle in the US. If I remember correctly the laws are changing regarding the license to operate a trike however.

Also TFA mentions that the Aptera is front wheel drive.
