About the David Pogue icon for Mac OS X
The existence of a David Pogue icon was first suggested in an episode of The Joy of Tech by a cartoon character. When finally revealed to the world, it is said that the collective *gasp* was heard 'round the Macintosh world. These are really incredible icons, and in OS X these icons are amazingly huge, 100x100 pixels! They're anti-aliased, and the edges are crisp, unlike any icon of David Pogue you've ever seen before. They're re-scalable, and even in their smallest size you can identify them as David Pogue icons. Mac users soon made David Pogue icon re-scaling races part of their daily ritual, and relished blowing away their Pentium friends.
And now there are many. With twelve new icons, the David Pogue Icon Collection has increased exponentially the number of ways David's iconic representation can be incorporated into your Digital Lifestyle. Of course, the new folder icons are ideal for organizing your David Pogue collection, ...his old MacWorld columns, his homepage musings, or his New York Times articles, but by using your creativity, you can open up a whole new world of possibilities.
For example, many users instinctively put David's head on their desktop and marvel at its entertainment value, but you can also use the head icon as an icon for folders. Drag files onto it, and it looks like hes absorbing the information!
In addition, we have recently been made aware that some ambitious users have been replacing the default icon of applications with the David Pogue icon. This alone represents a remarkable visual and human interface achievement, but when combined with the power of the Dock, it creates a David Pogue entity which bounces up and down when you launch him, as if he's trying to get your attention! The effect is chillingly lifelike!
OK, so now you're thinking "I gotta have those!", but you're also thinking "What's this going to set me back?" Well, we are happy to report that the OS X David Pogue Icon Collection is still available free of charge. We do reserve the right to revoke this offering if the reseller's market for OS X David Pogue icons improves, or if an alien race willing to barter gold bars for David Pogue icons arrives on Earth. We will however, not refuse kindly donations or webstore purchases by those caught up in a post-iconic Pogue-Mania frenzy.
