I'm sure this will attract lots of sarcastic comments, but: for decades (centuries, for all I know, but I'm not *that* old) many varieties of Christianity have recommended starting the day with prayer and Bible reading. Getting into a good mood isn't the purpose, but it is a common effect. Two terms often used for this are "quiet time" and "devotionals" (or "devotions"--ok, I can't count...).
You can read the linked-linked article at Consumer Reports (by "linked-linked", I mean the CR article that is referred to in the earlier/. report, linked to in this article): http://www.consumerreports.org.... For testing, they used the stock Safari browser (battery life increased when they used a third party browser).
I wonder if it could have been simultaneously downloading software updates?
Once you read the article I reference, you'll know how the Mac was set up.
But the funny thing is that Win7 is "shinier" than Win10. Do a web search for "Windows 10 ugly", for example. On another/. topic, I've said that if Windows was Indiana Jones, then Win7 would star Harrison Ford, and Win10 would star Lego actors.
"... enabled him to watch helplessly as a thief opened his package." Why do thieves open packages on someone's front steps? Why not grab the package and throw it in the car, wouldn't that be faster and easier for the thief?
(We had a discussion about this on our neighborhood email list, with several claiming that thieves opened packages to see if there was anything worth stealing, and me claiming that they wouldn't do that. It looks like I'm wrong, but I'm curious why.)
But mostly, Win10 is uglification. Or putting it differently, if Windows were an Indiana Jones movie, then Windows 7 would star Harrison Ford; Windows 10 would star Legos.
FWIW, I'm a linguist (more in computational linguistics these days, but reasonably well based in several theories of linguistics). So I read his two articles about Chomsky. I can't speak to the other articles, but his articles on Chomsky make a lot of sense, and seem accurate enough.
I'm not qualified to pass judgment on most of his other articles (and I've only read a handful), but his article about the consciousness problem seems reasonable: https://blogs.scientificameric...
So I'm not sure it's justifiable to call him a kook.
For decades (since Win 3.1, I think), I've used a keyboard re-mapper in Windows that allows this kind of re-mapping. In my case, ctrl-h is the left cursor arrow, ctrl-a takes you to the beginning of the line, etc.--modeled after vi's keys, but ctrl keys rather than moded keys--so you never have to remove your fingers from the alphabetic part of the keyboard. If you're a touch typist, it's ideal. (It does have two modes, however: if you type ctrl-q, then all the cursor movement keys do selection.) This works in all apps in Windows, ranging from Firefox to Word to jEdit. (I've tried to re-write it for Linux, but so far with less than complete success). It's written in C, so it's completely programmable. I never understood why s.t. like this isn't bundled directly in to Windows or other OSs. And while the other keyboard remappers are ideal for things like remapping your keyboard for typing some foreign language, I haven't ever seen one that could re-map control keys to cursor keys.
The space bar is better than the page-down key because the space bar is big and easy to find without looking, even if you've removed your hands from the keyboard.
Page-up is a different question; you could in principle use shift-space or s.t., but I don't know of any browser that does that. Fortunately the need for scrolling the view back up is rarer than the need for scrolling the view down, apart from these badly designed websites.

Guess that's why I installed Classic Menu when I moved from a Win7 computer to Win10.
But when will they bring out Slow Glass?

Nuts, I just posted a reply like yours...you beat me to it, good job!
Whether you do or not Depends.
I came to a Windows phone from an Android phone, and was a skeptic. But in fact I much prefer the Windows phone--easier to use, more reliable.

Now it can really be the case that Nobody ever goes there anymore — it's too crowded.
There's another key on your keyboard, over there between the comma and the slash. You might think about using it some time.
