Am I the only one that thinks this is just absolutely crazy and a complete waste of money and time?

  Same here. I'm kind of shocked that it was not done by a single 3D CGI whiz in a week or two. It's corporate waste at its finest. My second impression, watching the lead designer speak, is that his job is more than 50% about bullshiting. I.e. you design something that is passable, and then give an elaborate story, full of emotions and grandiose ideas, that make it easier for the decision makers to OK it - they in turn need the story to justify their decision (esp. if some higher ups question it later). Man, corporate world has so many people doing pseudo-work and playing out their bullshit roles in exchange for a comfortable middle-class life. I'm so glad I'm almost out.

    I am living this life. I work in "UX" (read: turn this PSD into a web interface), thankfully in the engineering side more than the design side. I'm being paid way too much. I'm trying to get out of here because I realize this is a job where people are desperately trying to find problems to solve. Nothing is fulfilling about making a prototype of a context menu and watching researchers ask laypersons what their reaction is to it (yes this is real).
