: Not sure how serious you are, but... a quick Google for "pie menu" (with the quotes) seems to only give information about what the article is about, so I don't think your meaning is used very often, and there doesn't need to be a disambiguation link on top or anything like that.

The caption says "Mac OS X's Front Row uses a pie menu". Does it? I haven't used it, but that doesn't look like a pie menu to me. As the article points out, pie menus are designed to be used with a mouse, i.e., all items are equidistant from the cursor when first displayed. |

F.R. is designed to be used with the Apple Remote, which isn't a mouse (or pointing device) at all. The first advantage of pie menus is listed as "size and proximity of menu items" -- does this apply to F.R. at all, if it isn't used with a mouse? |

F.R. is cool, but it doesn't look like a pie menu to me. |

Would that image be considered fair usage? --Dante Alighieri
Well it's just cropped from http://www.piemenus.com/
I guess it would be fair use...
Another meaning
I guess pie menu can also mean the menu at a restaurant that lists the pies available. lol FLaRN2005 02:18, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
