Australian mascots rocked.

Would have liked it if China had some sort of Dragon mascot, that'll be awesome. I mean it is their first time hosting so they should make it as appealing as possible. The dolls don't look all that great but I'm sure the majority will like it...namely all of China...that's already quarter of the world :p

these mascots look not very impressive to me.but I know there are five basic elemets which are the foundation of everything in Chinese philosophy. The five elements are: Gold Wood Water Fire Earth. I think these five little mascots express the perfect balance of the five elements. btw, do you guys know FengShui? quite popular in USA.

maybe some info about the design will help

Beijing Unveils 2008 Olympic Mascots

The design does seem more kid friendly just last the mascots. I think it would be nice if they held a drawing contest for kids to make the mascots for the olymipcs in the country that is hosting.

And i like the design.

edit: it seem the design was from a mascot design competition. But i still think it should be something for kids, to get them into art. Kid at heart

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By zikalify · Posted

      Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
