The new dock in Leopard is a little odd, but it’s a little cool that it reflects application windows if they get close enough. Useless, but quite cool. It’s just a shame that it doesn’t reflect the cursor — that would complete it.

I’m afraid that when people in the future are going to depict type from our time, they will use Comic Sans. Consider this: Comic Sans is awfully popular, and the important thing for typography in a movie isn’t to be pretty, but to be authentic.
