check out the new facebook layout

I have been wondering why the url had subdomain called “new”
http://www.new.facebook.com and it turned out that Facebook is trying out a new layout.

A nice way to gain acceptance from users to try out old layout to new layout. If people still stick on the old design the designers at facebook know that their design sucks

Guys your new design is kewl, I am sure more users will adopt to the new design. All the best.

If you like to watch the video here is the link from metacafe. Been thinking how Apple alone makes innovative stuffs which keep bringing WOW’S. I believe it has got something to do with the Apple fans.

The buying power – support the new technologies or staying up to date on the hardware & the softwares

Take the same on the PC platform, at least 60-70% of them fail to upgrade.That doesn’t seem to happen with the Mac, the number of people using Mac’s are less than the PC, but for sure I have seen Mac lovers upgrade like hell with their hardwares.

Fiat 500 – can India Car manufacturers make-over

Are you Fiat Fan?
Then you can look for these Fiat – 500 cars on Indian roads very soon. Happen to stumble upon botafogostudio.com, which had these amazing make-over for the Fiat- 500, Wow the site was really cool, check the videos section.

Most hatchback version can adopt the style. They look like the mini or the beetle. WOW

Was wondering, if Fiat India brings in the make-over version of these cars. Currently there is no car manufacturer in India who offers designer cars, as far as I know.

Will there be a buyer, is a big question?
