Rango - A better 'Pirates of the Caribbean 4'!

I've just watched the 'Rango', believe me it is awesome...
Before watching the film, the only thing I knew was that the voice of Rango is by my beloved actor, Johnney Depp. But while watching the movie I fell some kind of feeling that it's another 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. I would name it 'A better Pirates of the Caribbean 4'. And I was right!
Referring the IMDB I got that the whole movie, the special environments, the characters, the music, the story and ... and everything which reminds me of my favorite movie, is directed by Gore Verbinsky. Its great music by Hans Zimmer, Johnny Depp, Bill Nighy and ...
I really enjoyed the movie and seriously suggest you to watch it.

Metro thinking style - Sense and Simplicity

I remember once I fall in love with Philips's quote: "Sense and Simplicity"

At the time it was brilliant for me. It's not a prescription or a command to do. It's just a thinking style. It really affected me in various aspects. My software engineering methods, software architecture ideas and even my personal life.

And now this shiny idea from Microsoft, "Metro Style". At the first glance, for a non technical person It's like a technology backward. Everything is getting simple. Maybe 'Metro Style' can be translated to 'Simplicity Everywhere Style'.

Truly, I believe that Doing complex things with simple parts is better than doing simple things with complex parts.

In fact 'Tile' concept in the metro style is a simple concept which empowers you to create complex user interfaces for multiple platforms as simple as possible.

The fact that really inspired me is how Microsoft spread this idea everywhere, even in their 25 years old logo.
