Oh Yeah...

The Screenie... Never Came. No matter What I did, I kept getting an error message saying that my image was "too big" to upload altough it was only 3"x5" at 72 dpi. Who knows.... Anyaway: The current Apple front page Sucks Ass.

3"x5" at 72dpi (216x360pixels) equals 228K uncompressed. So depending on how you saved it out it might still have been bigger than the maximum size of 102400bytes for attached files...

Just as a pedantic side note 😛

But you are right, this pepsi bottle line-up is not exactly sexy...

Considering that Apple has to push the Pepsi thing, I kinda like what they did. The tiled background effectively gets across the idea of millions of bottles.

Agreed that it's not terribly attractive, but I do think it's clever.

The problem is that it's just a very poorly done PS job.

I would have to agree, it does look hideous 😱

Compare to www.pepsi.com - Apple is not as prominently displayed 😀

and http://www.apple.com/itunes/pepsi/ is a little better.
