Exclusive: SAG-AFTRA’s national election committee has dismissed a plethora of post-election protests that were filed by the losing candidates and their supporters in the union’s recent election in which Fran Drescher, running on the ruling party’s Unite for Strength (Ufs) slate, was elected president, and Joely Fisher, running on the opposition Membership First slate, was voted in as national secretary-treasurer, defeating Anthony Rapp.

So your smartphone is a very neat bit of tech, serving up your cellphone, portable gaming and MP3 needs...but have you ever wondered if it could be designed to be more friendly?
Ciid students Kevin Cannon and Tobias Toft definitely think so, and developed a proof-of-concept Ui while working on a 2-week study course with Nokia.
Check out the interactivity--"Little World" is genuinely user-friendly. The whole idea is to assign behaviors and people's images to the Ui so that you interact with the avatars the way one would think about interacting with the real person, right down to groups of friends standing near each other or a heavenly new girlfriend's contact details being pinned to a cloud.
