Are Power Users Too Cool For Ubuntu Unity?
darthcamaro writes "There are a lot of us that really don't like Unity. Ubuntu Founder Mark Shuttleworth defended Unity today, arguing that even 'cool' power users should like usability and ease of use. Then again he admitted that some of us are just too cool even for Unity. 'There is going to be a crowd that is just too cool to use something that looks really slick and there is nothing we can do for them,' Shuttleworth said. 'Fortunately in Ubuntu there are tons of options and lots of choice and ways to skin the cat.'"
I'm a developer and I love "magic" in a home computer. The problem is that Unity's "magic" is more like a magician making you do all the work blindfolded, and then declaring, "How did it happen? Must be magic!"
a hierarchical categorization of the tools and applications installed on your system is far too 'technical' and 'bookish'.
Just tell your computer how you 'feel' and let it guide you to apps it devines to be appropriate.
Knock knock!
Who's there?
A malformed joke!
'A malformed joke' who?

You don't get it- ANY of you... Shuttleworth has reached that point in his ego development that he knows better than you, all of you, what should be done with his distro. If you disagree, you just don't get it. He is a spaceman, you know. Next he's going to be a cowboy.
But STILL with insanely stupid and ill-advised anonymous moderation! Yes, that's right, visit now and you too can be moderated "diasagree" by some wag with unlimited mod points (a site luminary) or just Some Idiot who has 5 (or maybe 15!) chances to fuck up the comment flow. But wait! There's More! Slashdot *also* has no way to undo the damage done by these moderators! Instead of fixing the moderation, slashdot LOLs and gives the mod points to a NEW fool who will ALSO anonymously fuck up the comment flow! It's great! It's like a 1980's BBS with unlimited numbers of sysops on coke!
Thanks, I'll be here all day. Try the veal.
I've fallen off your lawn, and I can't get up.
