Have a peek at some near-final screenshots of the Windows Phone 7 interface.

I find parts of this user interface to be very depressing (granted it's not final but near-final sounds like their pretty close). The data entry screens are bland, colorless, and lifeless. Almost as if you're signing a death warrant on someone when you want to add them as a contact. Not very inviting.

Are you a big fan of the Dark Knight ? Know almost every line to every Batman movie both modern and classic? Wait a minute, where are all the retro-style Batman desktops? Oh well, Google image search to the rescue.

Next Batman installment might be shot entirely in IMAX, but probably not.
Next Batman installment might be shot entirely in IMAX, but probably not.

I gather that Christopher Nolan would probably have to agree to even make a third Batman movie first. Also, shooting in IMAX seems to be financially unrealistic as one reel can only hold two and half minutes of footage. Wow.

Disney isn’t always the Happiest Place on Earth. The parks sometimes harbor deep, dark secrets – and we’re not talking the Haunted Mansion or the Tower of Terror.
