You may have thought Mozilla could not open up beyond its current state, but you may be wrong: Aza Raskin, Mozilla Labs' UX Lead and Sebastiaan de With, a freelance icon designer, have completely opened up the process of designing a new logo for Mozilla Ubiquity. The second round of conceptual exploration has just started, and the popular vote is very welcome on the blog or in the comments. What's your favorite concept, and why?

Ah, the days of the CLI are returning!
Can you tell me when they actually did disappear? :-)
Just type your commands and the computer does what you are saying, because of scripts. This must really turn on any Unix enthusiast 
.
. It's a very comfortable concept of doing things. Instead of WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get), it's much easier just to YAFIYGI (you asked for it, you got it). :-)
But yeah, script driven stuff can be handy to minimize interaction for doing boring stuff and have more time to concentrate on more important things. To take the calendar example, the less time you spend on managing your appointments, the more time you've got for them (and between them).

Hehe, my thoughts exactly! These guys are patting their backs so hard, they probably didn't even notice they were reinventing the wheel.
I was going to point out how they were using the selection as a commands argument, but that isn't so new either (open `favorite-text-editor´, select text, go to "Edit" menu and hit "Copy".)
Not even their "It's scriptable; by you!" concept is anything new - greasemonkey anyone?
So what is really new? I'll tell you: The Package and The Presentation! And as we all know, that's what it's all about.
;-P
