For me, this is reminiscent of those horror movies where the victim is trapped in a basement where the only light is through a very dirty window. The room is very dirty and dusty which gives the sunbeam glow. Further to the feeling of being trapped, the blue light gives it a very cold feeling.

We have Linux with its cute penguins, Apple with it's big cats and now beautiful sceneries, and Microsoft with its "You'll be trapped forever in this hell hole" wallpapers.

Love the tentacle

"Our masters were not happy that our testing methods were not giving the results they wanted to push their agendas, so we have come up with new testing methods. Or new methods will add a 0.1 degree accuracy increment for each year of the plateau to allow for the inaccuracies in our previous testing methods. The new testing methods have shown once again that global warming is in fact real and that the earth is actually warming at a rate of 0.1 degrees. Future measurements will have the accuracy increment to be indexed to CPI to offset increases in inaccuracies of our tests due to degradation of our testing equipment due to the effects of global warming."

Further to that, most viewers of the image would probably be as equally impressed if the panorama was taken using regular consumer equipment or even a smart phone. It is not the tech that goes into a good image but rather the person holding the tech.

Agree. The issue is when the corrupt science is seen as the "approved" science, resulting in any alternatives and those pushing for the alternative being labeled as conspiracies and dismissed as lunacy even when it is obvious that the approved science has been massaged to meet an agenda.

A lot of today's scientific research is run not for the pursuit of knowledge but for profit. Behind the scientists are big corporations or governments pushing an agenda. It is quite often that these agendas require data manipulation to fit the model that best suits the interest of the entity funding the research. Science will forever be for the money and will forever be corrupted. RIP true scientific analysis.

Shhh, if they know about the tunnels they will block them.

Similarities in names are a judgement call. You believed that the names were sufficiently different, google's lawyers did not - and to be honest as soon as I read neuoogle I related that to google, so IMO they are sufficiently similar for an individual with no previous experience with your app to associate the two. Also, as you were going for trade mark of your name, you would (or should) be aware that trade marks can be lost if not defended. The google lawyers are just defending the google trade mark against attempts to trade mark words (or whatever) that are sufficiently similar to theirs that a regular person may believe that your app is being represented by google (or whatever).

The fact that you chose a name that differed from google in only the prefixed letters, you almost invited the lawyers to your door. I will assume that you chose the name as you wanted your app associated with the google term which could be considered synonymous with "searching the internet". If the google lawyers didn't protect google's trade mark, it would soon fall into the realm of kleenex, or cling wrap; Once trade marked names that were not defended.

Perhaps in the future you would find a name that is far enough removed from the trade mark of giant companies to ensure the giant companies don't start exercising their legal right in protecting their trade marks.

I am based in Sydney and have done some graphic work, feel free to send me your assets plus your new name (if you think of one) and I'll update the assets for you free of charge. (p3r AT users.sourceforge.removeme,net)

I will be marked down as flame bait (if they still do that here) but why is it that sexism towards men is ok in today's society? For example if this was an app targeted at rating women based on criteria that men find interesting (for want of a better word) it would be removed from the app store before it could even be downloaded. In days gone by there were men only clubs which were shut down due to sexual discrimination, today there are women only clubs and they are applauded.

Why does the world always be painted in the same shade of grey. Perhaps there are fewer women in engineering because the majority of women don't like engineering. I'm sure there are more boys burning ants with a magnifying glass then there are girls, should we now force girls into burning ants with a magnifying glass just to even up the numbers?

Has equality really just become evening out the numbers with disregard to what women actually want to do with their lives? Let's just hope there are no women who actually want to become housewives. Fuck that! You need to be an engineer and work in a shit job for 8+ hours a day then go home and work for another 6+ hours. Why? Because of fucking gender equality where you are no longer allowed to do what you want.

I fucking hate this planet and I'm glad I'll be leaving soon,
