The Death of Folders?

saintlupus writes "There's an interesting article on Wired about the interface changes in Tiger being a precursor to the demise of the classic folder-browsing Finder." From the article: "Users type search queries more or less as they did pre-Tiger, but 'the quality, scope and presentation of the results are significantly better, so users get good benefits without having to change their behavior.'"

    "Ooh, we're so cutting edge we're not going to use a capital letter at the start of our company's name." Pretentious twats. I bet they all have poncy rectangular tinted glasses and soul patches and ride around their offices on scooters as well.

    I don't know about you, but when I am looking for a specific website, I am more likely to type in the URL than to search for it in Google.

    My point is that Spotlight/Google is fine when it comes to vague requests (I want teh funny Star Wars spoof!), but when you know exactly what you are looking for and exactly where it is, you don't want a big pile of options to choose from.
