    Gnome developers switched dialogue buttons to an inverse vertical alignment, from the previous back-assward 'No' 'Cancel' configuration.

    Actually, I think that fucking while repenting is counterproductive.

    The weather reporter now allows you to quickly search for your location, useful for when you don't know what state you're in.

    All the GNOME screenshots I've ever seen look absofuckinglutely fantastic - so fantastic in fact that I've never been able to duplicate them in my own machines. Ever.

    I've always found that to be interesting, because I'm either stupid, they're cheating, or getting useable fonts in X is just too fucking hard. Much more than it needs to be.
