That's all they did. It looks liak they just took Mozilla open source code components, slapped them together and literarily just altered the colors on everything...I don't think they even changed any of the base icons around. o_O The annoying thing is that we're going to be seeing a lot more of this shit now that Mozilla is making it even easier to bitch off carbon copies of their crapware: : http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/article/306685/mozilla_let_enterprises_build_custom_firefox_browsers Just change the colors around and viola! You have a ~new~ web browser! Yeah, right. Oh, by the by, the source website for that Pink Browser, seems to be infected with something... : http://www.pinkbrowser.com/quicktour/index.html It looks liak Google is finally getting more specific with their crap, guess they didn't much liak the idea of a class action law suit against them for their "domain crippling service"...although it might be too late anyway to avoid some litigation. They already paid me off though, so I'm kind of out of the loop on that...I probably should have demanded moar money...I'm sure they would have paid it. Back to the browser, it's really not doing anything at all that every other cheap browser knock-off isn't already doing...and better. If you really wanted a pink browser...just alter your OS's base color scheme. Easy breezy. Looks to me like this outfit though is just trying to go for some cheap and easy publicity without really doing any work and without really having any work of their own. Their website for example is made up of images they've ripped off from various anime artists, the base theme isn't theirs either and their "logo" if you can even call it that, looks liak the MS Paint dribblings of a spastic 3 year old strung the fuck out on caffeine and coke. They don't seem to even grasp the concept of anti-aliasing, what with the horrible looking jagged edges all over everything that's theirs (not including the stuff they ripped off from others). That's usually the best way to weed out poser class dipshits by the way. If you're hiring say a graphic designer, pay real close attention to the work they're showing you and see if you can't spot any noticeable differences in the quality. For example if the overall design of the site looks nice, clean and professional...but then the logo looks liak something that was bitched out of MS Paint...yeah, the only thing that's theirs is likely the logo. Always judge a graphic designer by the *WORST* of the work they show off to you, not the best. You'll be less disappointed that way and you'll get a better idea of what it is you're actually getting. Back to the Pink Browser website, looks liak they're also using the thing as a front to promote their lil Amazon web shop: : http://www.pinkbrowser.com/store.html *sigh* We really are living in Web 3.0, the cookie cutter Internet. Where any idiot can slap together a website, a business, a browser, or anything else really with absolutely zero experience at all. It's going to be increasingly hard to find good, quality stuff amidst all the endless recycled garbage floating out and about the grid. An endless hoard of poser class dipshits and wannabes all trying to fight their way into the arena, companies are going to have an increasingly harder time trying to discern between real artistry and opportunistic fuckups just looking for an easy paycheck. And unfortunately I believe the later is going to force many companies into some serious hot water when they suddenly find out that half their branding was ripped off from some other artist or company. -- Onideus Mad Hatter mhm � x � http://www.backwater-productions.net http://www.uncensored-inter.net Hatter Quotes ------------- "Never do to anyone online what you wouldn't want done to yourself."
