The UI in Minority Report is goofy
Great rant on what's wrong with the much-lauded futuristic UI in "Minority Report:"Speaking of efficient, I noticed that you guys are still using disks to transfer files from one user station to another. I mean, it's in the same room, you know? You guys could just get a cheap-o wireless card or something, save you the extra step. Especially since sometimes I guess you guys are really in a time crunch, right? Those disks you guys are using are pretty but they are so outdated...Link Discuss (via Megnut)Oh, and speaking of the Temple - you know that pool where the pre-cogs hang out? what's up with the human-sized drain? Does it really need to be that big? I can send you some sketches of grids and stuff you can use that will let water through without, you know, flushing the pre-cogs down too.
