| Newswrap: June 13 - Nov 20, 2003 by Dan Browder
|    az wraps all the news that's fit to wrap. Is it paper or plastic?
|    I guess that depends on whether you're from the United States or
|    not. But it's the same: light-and-flaky outside, chewy-gooey
|    inside once the wrapping's off, that's for sure. Dip in!

| Theme: 3phase, itqe, 21 by Sunny Saxena
|    This issue's review is a bit different. 143lsstep not only
|    reviews a whopping three themes, but also compares them with each
|    other. What do they all have in common? Read on to find out. Even
|    more interesting is what each has that the others don't.

| Article: Why the Apple Dock Sucks by Bruce Tognazzini
|    "Interaction Designer" Bruce Tognazzini elucidated some of the
|    finer points of Fitts Law in the last issue. Ravi spotted him in
|    a BBC article recently (yes, yes, you're among celebrities -
|    behave yourselves now) and asked if he'd contribute another
|    piece. In this slightly older bit (circa 2001), Bruce tells us
|    why the Apple Dock sucks ... from a usability standpoint of
|    course - one can't deny that they look hella kewl!

|    know what you're thinking: Do I really need to read another
|    well-worded, well-thought-out article on this long-in-the-tooth
|    subject? Short answer: you do. Long answer: yeah.. you do.

|    Still haven't found the Linux distro that's right for you? Why
|    not install and play around with several of them? Long time
|    community member Holly helps us walk on the wild side with Linus

| Article: The Next Step by Mattias Westlund
|    Shaker West wants a shake-up and shake-down of the LiteStep
|    manual RC configuration. As usual, his strong opinions are a
|    pleasure to read; but don't take my word for it: read it and
|    agree with me your own damn self!

| Interview: Andrew (Carbon Dev) by Juan Lupión
|    Juan Lupión, AKA Epaminondas Pantulis, AKA Alt Zerone treats us
|    to an interview with Andrew, the Carbon Lokai developer. Now
|    people, I know what you're thinking, but let's not hold it
|    against Andrew that he's lacking in pseudonyms. At least, AFAWK.
|    Really, once you start reading the interview, such petty concerns
|    will no longer bother you ...
