I know the similarities between the mother character and the movie Coraline have been spotted, but the four remind me of the characters from The Incredibles. The UN-credibles..?

Windows 8 beta, the tiles interface sucks
by moshe ini downloaded and installed windows 8 beta on a six year old laptop to check it out.
i found out i don't like the new graphical tiles interface at all.
maybe i am just stuck in the old windows format and don't like change.

Moshe, I couldn't agree more. Ever since the iPad opened up a previously unexploited gap in the market, operating system producers have become obsessed with tablets, and touch screen interfaces generally. The Metro interface may suit a tablet, although you have to wonder what level of market penetration Microsoft could achieve with Apple and Android as established competition, but on a "proper" monitor? Hopeless. Before it's finally released I hope MS include an option to set the normal desktop as default prior to booting,
I am primarily a Linux user, and we have been plagued with similar issues of our own over the last year or two. Arguably the most widely used desktop, Gnome 2 which utilised the traditional desktop paradigm, has been replaced by the Gnome 3 Shell. This too seems to have been designed by a pre-school child with a large box of coloured crayons. Much of the screen area is wasted with toolbars, multi tasking with multiple programs open at once is practically impossible, virtually all the user configurable options have been removed and the icons are large and blocky which look simply ridiculous and HUGE on my 22" monitors. It won't even work properly on older equipment without graphics acceleration, which many Linux enthusiasts use to experiment with.
Despite the valiant efforts of many Linux distributions to try and make this abomination usable, I think many users have abandoned it for other desktops. Personally I have opted for KDE, another desktop that follows the traditional format. It runs flawlessly on my desktops and three year old laptops. When Xerox defined the desktop paradigm 30 years ago, they got it right. All the most successful graphical user interfaces since then have followed suit, whether it be Windows, Linux, Apple System, RISC-OS, Amiga, whatever. We don't need the wheel reinventing, we just want something usable that works.

Hmmm, The Ride of the Valkyries played behind footage of a plane reminiscent of a Junkers 87 "Stuka". Nope, nothing creepy about that.

Simple really. Noah was a time lord like doctor who, and the ark was his tardis, so much bigger on the inside. That and a really big jar of vaseline.
