Internal Affairs: Revolutions

Revolutions

I saw Matrix Revolutions today with some friends. It definitely doesn't suck. Spoilers may be ahead, so continue reading at your own risk if you have not yet seen it.

I do have to say that I'm not necessarily sure I understood the part about the bridge between the machine world and the real world. I may have missed something, but that did not really make sense to me. I also still believe that the "real world" is part of another matrix, which they did not really tackle. Neo seeing the real world as orange matrix code seemed to re-inforce that idea, as well as his ability stop the machines from attacking Trinity and himself.

I was a bit puzzled at the Wachowski's attempt to explain Gloria Foster's death. The explanation seemed thrown together at the last minute, and didn't really make much sense to me. I thought it might have almost been better if they had left that alone, though I understand their reasoning to not.

About the only reason I can think for critics not really liking the movie at first is that there are too many unanswered questions. This is definitely a movie I feel I need to see again in order to really understand and appreciate, but I love those kinds of movies. I have a feeling that the reviews will change their tone in time.

The simple fact is that, when all other factors are equal, where will consumers spend their money? I believe that in the long run, the best looking, easiest-to-use applications will also be the most successful. I think that's why Apple encourages developers to write programs that are 100 percent Aqua-compliant.

Whether native or not, this is obviously one of the first steps on your way to OS X. Keep in mind that often, the functionality of your code has a lot to do with how your interface is designed. How many developers have come up with great functional ideas from working with their interface or looking at their competitors'? Start working on your Aqua compliance from day one. Don't wait until the last minute.

Dock Animation. Sometimes animating icons in the dock can be useful in communicating the status of the system or application.
