The disk usage uses a 3D pie graph. This is not only ugly, but not scientific, too. They add a visual distortion. There's no need for this--
have a look at Tufte, Edward (1983), The visual display of quantitative information, Graphics Press.

Or, amongst many others, http://lilt.ilstu.edu/gmklass/pos138/datadisplay/goodcharts.htm

Keep it simple.
