There's nothing that can't be made cooler by sticking an "i" on it
I'm have to admit I'm really enjoying Google's new-and-improved personalized home page, renamed "iGoogle".
It's mainly because of this little guy. He crops up in one of the new themes called "Tea House". Nearly all of the themes are dynamic and change depending on the time of day (or sometimes even the local weather).
On the Tea House theme this dude (I don't know his name) spends his whole day pottering around his little koi pond, doing different things depending on the time of day. I keep finding myself checking Google just to see what he's up to. :-)
I think one of the Google designers has definitely been playing Animal Crossing, Tea House has a very similar vibe. It should be cheesy, but somehow it works.

Bring a (horror of horrors) a Windows machine, with the aquarium screen-saver and you have...

I think I'll go back into hibernation. :-)

A couple of years ago it was all about 'experience'. Office XP, Windows XP, AMD XP, blah XP or My Docs, My Music, My Videos (but sadly not 'My Ar$e').
I suppose with the brand penetration of the iPod et all, the rise and rise of iSummat will continue.
