...you don't seem to understand.  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:

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.
