Fluff. Just what we need, another Smashing Magazine-style article. One site doing that was plenty .

And yet, very useful.

However, here's the Smashing Magazine equivalent, if you're interested...

I'm not trying to be a jerk, really, but how is this stuff still useful? It's been covered 1000 times on digg (and I'm guessing reddit) and every other "design" blog on the web. If you don't know where to find icons by now, you shouldn't be doing the design of your app.

There's no such thing as old jokes. To a newborn, every joke (every article) is a world premiere.

I know this may come as a shock, but not everyone goes to reddit or digg very often, if ever.

Not that I'm necessarily advocating the use of cookie-cutter icons that have probably been used on who knows how many other sites already (even though some of them are indeed quite pretty).

Well put. And very Zen.

There is such a thing as "old news", however.

That being said, I just don't care for this class of "stories"
