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.
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"

True, but there is such thing as inappropriate jokes...
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).

What's with all the glossy gradients? Can we, as a species, move on?
Jerk removed my comment because I thought the oxygen icon set from kde4 should be included. Notice how all the comments on his blog say amazing and lovely.
I once commented on an article on noupe that was inaccurately labelling PHP's $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] "insecure, because it allows hackers to search your entire server!"

The owner deleted my comment, and then pasted my personal details (e-mail address, etc) on to someone else's blog.

'Jerk' is exactly the right word to use.

Oh God. The Diggbots found us.
Flag it if you don't like it, this is exactly the sort of stuff we're all (minus 25) looking to filter out here.
