wow blankfist - that's a trove of avatar goodness. I really think you should go with Joyce, though - Tino doesn't quite fit, so to speak.


I couldn't say it's my favorite, because I've never really thought about album covers that way, but "Bitch's Brew" is definitely on my list of eye candy.

Mines' a great nation but a "free society???"....Has there ever been one??? Most folks would piss their pants at real freedom.

Everybody forgets 6 months later, (at least in the U.S.) because they have been by design, purposefully , never taught how to learn. Did not start this way-
Take an entire university of modern day students...pick a school-and throw them in saaaay University of Pennsylvania in the 1790's, and most would not even make entrance, much less survive a full year-
History just 40 years ago, is lost to most-If folks really were able to give a damn about what matters, they'd demand answers of our leaders, IMMEDIATELY, or rout the motherfuckers from their positions of representation and influence.

I'd like to see what would happen, if everyone in the U.S., for six months, purchased only the food and energy they needed to survive....some already do it for the most part, with only one or two unnecessary diversions-

the only way to solve these injustices of those in power, with their private military arm to enforce their economic policy>=eugenics or slavery, is to hit the motherfuckers where they least expect it........ooops, sorry, that's been taken care of-look how distracted the meatbots are-keep em entertained, keep em working, hell, give all the eye candy they can handle, and while yer at it, make young, horny pussy and a six-pack and gluts the universal standard to aspire to, and we can create the problem and provide them solutions until they all eat, shit, piss, fuck and die in unison.

Babylon, baby.

crappy song but upvote cuz he's damned fine eye candy.

Beautiful ear candy AND eye candy. I should be allowed to vote for this twice.

This was built with PhysX physics engine, formerly know as Novodex. It's a physics engine like Havok, but can utilize the PhysX add-in card, which is made by Ageia, and is indeed in real-time.

For now game developers only use it as eye-candy, though. Otherwise we'd all be "forced" to buy one of those. If someone made a mod for the software, present-dat videocards could render this in real-time as well.

WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!

I would know, because Top Gun is my favourite movie

The sexiest sexy sex thing in the movie is the choreography of the dogfighting.

The "gay" stuff is eye candy for female moviegoers and a reflection of the fact that these guys risk their lives together. You try being a fighter pilot without loving your wingman.

Quentin is so wrong here he even has to fake the last line to make his theory work.

it's about men working together, not fucking together. if anything, it's about men fucking aeroplanes and having big group aero-orgies in the sky.

why people get caught up on the ridiculous "gay" theory i will never know. Is it the first film you saw men take their shirts off in or what?

All 80s films were anti communist propaganda, more like.

I really don't think the graphics will matter for how good or bad this game will be. I just wonder what the hell they are doing, considering that the demo Will Wright showed more than one and a half years ago looked perfectly fine. Well, *looked*. But as this game neither needs nor "wants" realistic graphics, the comic style is perfectly fine and won't look outdated even in a couple of years. I am more afraid that all the eye candy buttons and graphics won't suffice to give you the amount of information you really need. But just the animation technique for the creatures looks like it's years ahead of it's time. Take that and the procedural programming and you can only begin to understand what kind of technology and skill lies behind the oh so cute interface.

*pipp, you bozo......this one has already been blogged and discarded, because of the nipple-licking and coitus....you must have just gotten back from some binge in froglandia.......

And may we add here, that most pretentious, symbol-addicted, drug addled, poorly schooled, last couple a generations-somethings, have not the slightest CLUE, what art is....true art, high art, this is a fast-food, eye-candy, abomination, having DICK to do with art.

Perhaps an option as a perk to advertisers, if they do actually manage to pay for space as well as producing some entertaining eye-candy, a voting booth for their adverts, for a chance at the Big Published Front Page.....where there, we can rip it to shreds. You can't pay for a better plug, up votes and approval from paying members.

Then we can sell them, our copyrighted testimonials, after we have been given a year supply of whatever they sell, to consumer report on ...... some real pyramid scheme potential here as well......

agreed. this is some eye candy in all regards!!

Okay, I just gave Beryl's recent release a try, and I'm quite impressed. Dag, contrary to what these videos show off, they seem to be going more in the direction of making these plugins visual effects more useful, as opposed to simple eye candy. The main thing I find to be nifty is the way you can group windows, but there are other usability improvements as well. It's not perfect, of course, but it's getting very close.

I think in the end, OSX and Beryl/Compiz have the right aim in mind here. The OSX interface is designed by those who have a very strict set of Human Interface Guidelines, so you can count on them to make their visual improvements useful. And Beryl/Compiz are being developed by the Linux community, who are comprised of people who are more interested in usefulness than eye-candy in any case. (Else why would they be using Linux.) Meanwhile, Aero is shooting off in the "OMG CHECK OUT OUR L33T GRAFFIX!!!LOL" direction.

So yeah, anything that will pull people away from Windows, eh? ;-)

I wouldn't say that none of OSX is eye-candy, Dag. Really, most of the pretty effects in it aren't necessary. (In all honesty, I never found that genie effect to be actually USEFUL. The one effect it has that is useful is . . . Expose, I think. The one that shows all the windows scaled down.)

Beryl and Compiz, though mostly eye candy, also have their uses as well. They have a similar feature to Expose, which is useful for obvious reasons, as well as a zoom feature for the visually impared. That fancy rotating cube is actually to visualize the multiple desktops (a feature Linux window managers have had for a long time anyway) and can make it easier to find the desktop you want. And, of course, for those who really do just want fire and exploding windows, they get catered to as well. (And, of course, each plugin can be disabled depending on personal preference.)

The point is that when utilized appropriately, eye candy can be more than just pretty shininess. OSX and Compiz/Beryl do it right. Aero . . . well, it's getting there.

As for me, I'll stick with the terminal for my work, as it's the most efficient way do do work in any case.

dag, keep in mind that you can open the CP in "Classic View" which is almost exactly like XP, except the fact that "Add/Remove Programs" is now "Programs and Features"

you can also go so far as to revert to the original XP start menu, for that matter.

Aero is virtually 100% eye candy. the taskbar thumbnails come in handy every once in a while, as does Win-Tab, but otherwise it's just for a pretty interface. Beryl IS 100% eye candy other than the fact that it makes exploring your multiple desktops easier. but sylvester is right.... beryl is just to make linux pretty... the GUI, especially in Ubu, already makes linux just as easy as windows, if not easier in some cases.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

OS X looks great - but none of it's eye candy. The genie effect might be misconstrued as such, but it's really just an intuitive way to let you know where your window's gone when you minimize.

Aero however, is just pure glitz - very little in the way of UI improvement - in fact I would say they've made it worse in some ways. Control Panel is incredibly dense and confusing now.
