Windows 6 and Fugue Icons

While I was working on this little project of mine, I found a striking similarity between the icons of Windows 6 (Vista/Windows 7) and the Pinvoke.com’s Fugue Icon set by Yusuke Kamiyamane. So I did a little sniffing using my Win7 RC partition. (BTW I’m using Leopard as my Main OS now). Here’s what I found:

Notice the similarities? I doubt they were made by two different people. So what I think now is that its either Microsoft commissioned Mr. Yusuke to create a derivative of the fugue icons set for Win 6 or they purchased the $49.95 worth icon set (which for me is a value prize considering the quality of the icons). Actually this is a surprise for me since from what I know already Microsoft usually shop their Icons from IconFactory it is true for the WinX and Vista (and probably Win7 too?),  hmm… maybe they got tired to create miniature version of the icons? Can’t think of any other reason here :)

Haha, sorry if the image above is somewhat vague :) its because I’ve got another exciting project to attend here.

Bah! Time to go home.

Updated: My bad its “Fugue” not “Fague” :)

Manga as a past time.

Toink!

Yup, I a fan of  Japanese manga now I guess. For 3 days I have lost my self to Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto. That’s 72 hours to complete 452 episodes! Wew, I guess I was that jealous damn them! (the people at my back) their discussions are just too intimidating.  Shameless as I am this days I’m into Kaori Yuki’s Angel Sanctuary too, even Eiichirō Oda’s One Piece has made it through my messed schedule. So long, but I really enjoyed the experience and I think this time I would distance my self into watching their animation counter parts there’s something more about the manga :) I really love it when the mangaka leave some little notes about their life and the story~ It’s just so cool :p

So that’s it,  I never thought my first entry to this blog would be about manga it amazes me really. I guess that’s it for now.

I highly recommend OneManga.com for your daily manga needs, and If you’re a lazy child who wants to wake up and have a new episode waiting for you then I think you’ll love this nice little OneManga Script by Suksit.
