Only seven are found at his article, and (not surprisingly) three are Mac related. My favorite: the mysteriously dimmed menu options. Why are those darned things grey anyway?"

    So... after you pressed the power button... this big assed dialog box pops up and asks if you want to turn off the computer, or put it to sleep...

    Boy, you'd have been really annoyed if it had simply turned off (like a Windows box).

    Kind of amazing that you would click "Shut down" if you didn't want to actually turn it off...
