May be too late for those guys already, expensive, cheap made, and nanny crap everywhere, thanks but no thanks.

"users"

Unstable air-frame - check, no ejection seats - check & what possibly could go wrong?

The writing was on the walls some time ago.. I used to have DX2 and it was OK, saying that I sold the device when Facebook purchases them and never looked back at this product.

Well well looks like soon personal EMP devices will be a hotcake, you want to track me?> track this!

Too big to fail?

On February 5, 2014, Slashdot announced through a javascript popup that they are starting to "move in to" the new Slashdot Beta design. Slashdot Beta is a trend-following attempt to give Slashdot a fresh look, an approach that has led to less space for text and an abandonment of the traditional Slashdot look. Much worse than that, Slashdot Beta fundamentally breaks the classic Slashdot discussion and moderation system.

       

If you haven't seen Slashdot Beta already, open this in a new tab. After seeing that, click here to return to classic Slashdot.

       

We should boycott stories and only discuss the abomination that is Slashdot Beta until Dice abandons the project.
We should boycott slashdot entirely during the week of Feb 10 to Feb 17 as part of the wider slashcott

       

Moderators - only spend mod points on comments that discuss Beta
Commentors - only discuss Beta
  http://slashdot.org/recent - Vote up the Fuck Beta stories

       

Keep this up for a few days and we may finally get the PHBs attention.

This is the trend that we see lately in the main stream software design, dumping down of everything around us for our own good.

There is no question that beta suck, space utilization on the new site is horrible, why leave so much empty space on the right side? Why are those buttons on the top so huge? My grandma definitely will not visit ./ so what gives? Your old icons are cool, beta looks like all the other sites up there.

Also its just flat, did I say FLAT

This beta could be compared to Windows 8 its the same thinking. No one needs those UI changes (from user point of view) but someone decides that this is the ways it will be now.

The good think is we have options and this will be opportunity for someone who is creative.

Poll would be a way to go, let the voting begins!

Dice should ask Digg about the nice interface change that they did few years ago and how that worked for them...

In Soviet America beta fuck you!
