This London piano company has apparently nicked their design from A List Apart. And to make matters worse, they’ve managed to make it look shite. Amazing.

For not the first time, one of Apple’s organisation-type apps has crashed on me. And, again not for the first time, upon re-opening, it has duplicated all of the entries in the app. Three times.
Don’t make me switch to Entourage, Apple. Don’t make me do it.
Update: In a curious turn of events, the .Mac Backup app, which is often described as ’shit’, actually managed to restore my Address Book with no fuss, no muss.
This is the best bit of hand-wavy evolutionary nonsense I’ve seen in a while:
But the public’s general dislike of pigeons also comes down to an inherited survival instinct. Our bodies are programmed to play it safe when it comes to some species, says Felix Economakis, psychologist and hypnotherapist in BBC Three’s Panic Room.
“A dislike of any bird is an evolutionary survival instinct that has been passed down through our DNA. Back in cavemen times birds were bigger and posed a real danger.
“Our system still plays it safe, it generalises and paints all possible dangers with the same brush. Our brains are telling us not to take a chance. It’s the same with snakes and spiders.”
Seriously? Those sparrows in the garden? The ducks on the pond? We’re afraid of those?
From “Why do we hate pigeons so much?“.

Ceramic rings to hold and dispense round fruit.
Who are these people who have the time and money to sit around “designing” poor crap like this?
Hey, you know what else can hold and dispense round fruit? A BOWL. It can even handle odd shaped fruit. Also, what on Earth are those green things on the far left? Did they run out of real round fruit?
