Interview with Aaron Seigo (Linux Magazine) [LWN.net]

Linux Magazine interviews Aaron Seigo about his Trolltech sponsored work on KDE. "We also sat back and went, "you know it'd be really nice if we could really show what X, the X modern protocol, especially from X.org, is capable of these days. Cause it's got a bad reputation or has a crude one largely because development was so stagnant for so many years, but X.org has really picked up again and we're starting to see some exciting capabilities on the X.11 platform. We also have Q4 coming out from Trolltech, that's got, I was playing around with the new painting facilities that were there yesterday, and was really happy with how much more progressed Q4 is over Q3 for what we can do eye-candy wise."

For those reading this part of the interview, or even the whole interview, you should notice that where you see Q3 it should be Qt3 and Q4 is Qt4 as well.

I know this because I read Aaron's Blog entry or else it I would be confused as well. :-D

Yes, this is a little bit confusing..
It would be very nice if the editors of the linux-magazine would actually
proofread their articles. ;-) Or at last notify Aaron in advance that they
would like to publish the interview, and ask if he have some suggestions.

part of the problem is that i pronounce Qt "correctly" (according to
Trolltech) as "cute". "cute three" and "cute technology" etc. is just not
as easy to hear and get right as "queue tee four" ... in future i'll be
sure to spell it out so that the interviewer has a better chance. just one
of those interesting interviewee lessons to be learned on my part =)

Because clearly you're looking at a mocked up screenshot created with a graphics app.
Q. What do you do when you're creating a mockup to show an idea?
A. You grab he prettiest representative images you can find and paste them in. You don't go creating fresh artwork from scratch.
