    I know they use the Hollywood Operating System for copyright reasons, but it still makes me twitch when I see it.

    Ugh. Of all of these, I think I liked number 7 and 8 the most. The rest are really REALLY busy, which doesn't necessarily mean they're not valid, it just means I wouldn't like using them. :D

    That being said though, I like the futuristic design - all of it looks like it could very well be the layout of next generations of integrated systems that we may very well use every day.

    He probably spends dozens and dozens of hours on each one for all of 2 seconds of screen time. That would seem frustrating to me.

    These don't look futuristic, just like current GUIs designed by graphics designers.

    if there's one thing i've learned from star wars it's that the user interfaces of the future never look the way we think they're going to look.

    (and i know it's set in the past, you get the point).

    @benizdead: Hah I have no clue why I just said Morgan Freeman. Possibly because I was reading a separate article about a movie he is in right before this article.

    This is just a tall, half-submerged boat, right? Am I missing something? How would this be better than a regular ship? Also, where is the propulsion systems on this thing?

    It does look pretty cool though.

    @Ruthless, If you let me: I think the idea is to tow it into the open ocean and let it ride the currents.
