Re:Free rider problem solved?
+1!
Parent presents the crux of the current situation perfectly: if obvious and timely improvements are patentable then those patents granted to obvious and timely improvements serve no purpose other than a barrier to entry for competitors. Who can afford to enter business when every item, every process, and every configuration needs to be checked against a patent library with millions of entries? Especially now that patents have become this ridiculous.
Wedge-shaped notebook PCs? Electronic typewriters have used this basic design principal for nearly 50 years!

Does that look like a wedge to anyone else?This boils down to a patent on miniaturized notebooks that also happen to fit all their internal components comfortably inside. Ridiculous. The principle is not new, the improvement is apparent even to a monkey, and the patent should have been thrown out immediately.

Re:Opera screen real estate vs Firefox
I can do that in firefox WITHOUT having to code anything, plus how exactly do i get fusion as purely an interface customisation?
smallfox
I mean i think i could shave a few more pixels of with some smart userchrome code or a nice theme but tbh it's small enough for me and all i had to do was install 2/3 extentions and add some simple lines to userchrome. -
Re:Opera screen real estate vs FirefoxOpera's interface is every bit as customisable if not more so. False. I challenge you to put a "back" button next to the Help menu on the menu bar, then. You can do it in IE. You can do it in Firefox. Opera forces that space after Help to be waste. Here it is:Screenshot
:P
There's a back button, forward button and an addressbar next to help. Not technically what you said but close enough that it shouldn't matter. Probably technically cheating aswell as it's not the 'real' menu bar.
You're right that you can't put stuff in the menu bar in Opera though, and you should be able to. It is a waste of screen space. In order to make that screenshot (without manipulation), I used the custom buttons page on http://operawiki.info/CustomButtons to add each of those menu items to the "Main Bar" (after clearing it), then I added the back button and decided to go a step further and add the address bar and forward. I had already used the toggle menu bar custom button to hide the actual "Menu Bar" (I normally don't have a menu bar even, the panel is enough).
If you look closely I have the entire main menu as a button in the tab bar (labeled "Menu" with a black arrow next to it). If I click that I'll get a menu with all the main menu bar items in it. Over on the right I have a view button which will display the "view bar" where I've hidden the menu toggle button.
I could have combined everything on the menu into the tab bar instead but it wouldn't have looked like the main menu colorwise. I could have everything in one bar like the great-grandparent has in their firefox screenshot. Less than their screenshot even if I put everything in the tab bar instead of a seperate one.
Also there is a panel toggle on the left of the screen. I typically don't use the main menu except for the File-> Import/Export menu options so hiding the entire thing makes sense since all bookmarks, history, widgets, mail and newsfeeds are available in the side panel and most settings are accessible via keyboard the shortcuts F12+none, ctrl, shift.
If you really want to get bitchy about wasted space you could put all the menu options, the addressbar and everything normally in a toolbar into a custom panel and get rid of every bar (even the tab bar if you want) and just have the panel toggle at the edge of the screen. Hide it when you don't need it. You can't get much less wasted space unless you changed the theme for your desktop to use less space for the window decorations (I think that would be going a little far). The entire window would be space for the page except for the small scrollbar on one side and the panel toggle on the other (not necessary with keyboard shortcuts). -
Re:Opera screen real estate vs FirefoxThe thing I like about Firefox is how changeable it is:
ScreenshotI've been organizing the bars like that since I started using FF, and I find it makes for much better use of that space than just a gray, blank area.
Agreed, I hate wasted screen real estate:
http://www.dotancohen.com/images/examples/firefox.pngNotice that the File | Edit menu has been collapsed into a single root menu on the right (My language goes from right to left, sorry). The Google search box is gone (I can google directly from the aweso^W location bar) and the tabs are on the side. Perfect for making use of this widescreen monitor's unusual geometry, which means that half the horizontal space usually goes to waste yet there is never enough vertical space.

Re:Opera screen real estate vs FirefoxThe first thing you notice when you launch Opera 9.5 is that it occupies less desktop real estate than Firefox 3, with less toolbar space and smaller borders, giving you more room to view pages. The thing I like about Firefox is how changeable it is: Screenshot I've been organizing the bars like that since I started using FF, and I find it makes for much better use of that space than just a gray, blank area. I was doing that with IE before I discovered Firefox, and was overjoyed when firefox decided to add that feature. A friend of mine suggested Opera a few years ago, and I was highly annoyed at how it made no provision for using that "dead space" after Help. I see they still don't allow it. The Opera devs apparently don't like any idea they didn't come up with themselves. And that quote above? What a crock! What idiot uses the toolbar layout as it comes out of the installer? Anyone with half a brain CUSTOMIZES.

Re:I personally like the homepage
I totally agree, the pages one accesses often must be clean and fast. Google home has still things i didn't like (arial default font, failed to work as local page, and a look somewhat too anonymous). But that was easy to fix. It was also online (but the page was against google guidelines in several ways) and is still kinda accessible through the library

Also, it's not exactly "paper" they're printing on:
"We used N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) gels to construct sheets with inducible non-Euclidean gtar. The gels are produced by mixing NIPA monomers with bisacrylamide (BIS) (6% by weight of NIPA) cross-linker in water. The addition of catalysts initiates polymerization of a cross-linked elastic hydrogel [Supporting Online Material (SOM) text]. This gel undergoes a sharp, reversible, volume reduction transition at Tc = 33C (19), above which its equilibrium volume decreases considerably. Calibration experiments (fig. S1) using various homogeneous (each of a different fixed NIPA concentration) gel discs provide the relation between the monomer concentration and {eta}, the shrinkage ratio of the "activated" gel. These measurements show that dilute gels shrink a lot, whereas gels with high monomer concentrations undergo moderate shrinking." -
Re:so slashdot can decide which stories they choos
Speaking of Slashdot censorship, can anyone tell me what happened to this story:
Apple Quicktime virus on MySpace
It was on the front page, but as soon as I clicked on it I got the "Move along, nothing to see here" message, and it was gone from the front page. If you look at the poster Spiked_Three's page you can see that the story is listed as accepted.
Did this get suddenly yanked off the front page while IE MySpace worms and MS Word 0-day exploits get through just because Slashdot has a lot of sensitive Mac owners?
I come here to read tech news, not to have my ego stroked. If something relevant happens I want to hear about it regardless of whether it makes a company I like look bad.. -

Re:Do you really need MS Office?
As for not matching the GUI, speak for yourself. It fits in just fine on my Gnome desktop.
Really? It doesn't fit in well on mine: http://img153.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=38652_S creenshot_364lo.jpg They're both brown, but all the controls behave and look differently..
Yet another reason to use SuSE. Take a look at mine:
http://www.energy-chicago.com/oowidget.jpg
Everything matches up beautifully.
The only visual "difference" that I can see is that Tabs on OpenOffice.org fade out the text on non-active tab items, while they remain black on KDE/QT/GTK2. For me, this is a minor enough issue that I don't notice it unless I'm looking for it. It's certainly no where near as bad as the issues on your screenshot. -
Re:Do you really need MS Office?
I've never known Microsoft to allow any arbitrary Office user to phone them up...
I've never known anyone in an IT department who knows how to sort out an OOo problem either.
If I wanted to script my documents, I'd use LaTeX and do it properly.
That's text documents covered (let's ignore the massive API, thorough documentation, events, key combos, community support, pre-written example code, friends/coworkers who know it too, IDE, and easy to master language). Now what about spreadsheets and databases?
??? What is that?
You write your scripts in it; it has syntax checking, debugging, auto completion, variable watching, a massive library of help and sample code, etc.
I've found that most of their documentation doesn't cover odd corner cases, that "clippy" is useless and trial and error is usually the best way to go with either suite.
Clippy may be useless but MS Office Online isn't. Most Office users need to learn to use the F1 key; you can't expect an animated paperclip to guess what you're trying to do.
If you think trial and error is the best way to get what you want it's no wonder you don't appreciate what MS Office has over OOo.
As to the rest ... the fact that others don't use it is self-serving. That's not a feature of Office, it's a result of the monopoly MSFT tries to establish.
Most of the reasons are problems with OOo which have nothing to do with user base. There are some problems caused only by the fact that everyone uses MS Office and no-one uses OOo, but businesses and home users don't care about the reason for these problems. We're trying to make good documents quickly and easily, not tip the scale against the evil MS.
As for not matching the GUI, speak for yourself. It fits in just fine on my Gnome desktop.

I guess it's a matter of personal preference (and IIRC, Imageshack makes a bit more informative theumbnails), but Imagevenue supports batch uploading, custom image resizing (and not just presets), 500 K larger files, but only jpg's. Actually, Imagevenue even supports free FTP via temporary accounts you can get to batch upload even more than 10 jpg at a time.
