I print and save as often enough. I additionally use history for recent history, and more often recently closed tab.
Edit I have to agree with, put file and history are quite useful (though the things I sued could easily be integrated into a ribbon.
I would thing the address bar could be way smaller, and expand when moused over to free up some space personally. Maybe for a bookmark bar that doesn't come pre-populated with sites I don't visit.
Ribbons improve the toolbar IMO, but can make a poor replacement for the menu.
Nice big easy to click icons are nice, as is having more info shown (with ribbons acting as kind of mini dialogues in places, eerything big, fast to get too if you are in the correct ribbon (which ideally you will not need to change them too frequently.
But, when I want to autofit cells width in Excel (I actually couldn't find this in office 2k7), I used to select a column and go to the menu, now I need to select a column, go to the correct ribbon, then potentially open the menu with the very small hard to hit open menu button.
This is fine and dandy, until I picked the wrong one, and need to click another small open menu button (or even a new ribbon). The ribbon makes finding more obscure things a very very slow process, with all these ribbon change, new menu open things going on, compared to simply reading all the menu options.
What I need is cascade on left half of screen, then put a 3 inch gap in the center to emphasize the difference between left and right.
Then, when choosing to maximize one of the cascaded windows, make sure it goes the the side it is on, not across the whole monitor.
I'm sure they is some Windows manager than can be hacked to do this, but it probably lacks other helpful features, such and an Expose, Cover Flip, or scale down and leave on top to monitor something.
It's not the vision, it's the windows scattered all about tucked in all corners.
I find a 1280 x 800 unusable, as it is the height I find most limiting.
I would much much prefer 2 960 x 1200 monitors to a 1920 x 1200 wide screen, It just helps me group stuff better.
Expose type features help some, but generally I scatter about my windows haphazardly, with little bits peeking through rather than using the task bar/dock, on a wide screen monitor I have trouble doing so and easily getting to may stuff.
1280x1024 is the most my brain can manage you insensitive clod.
Not entirely true, every now and again I feel cramped, but with 2 17" LCD's it is rare, and the large wide screen monstrosities leave me cluttered and confused (this is specifically with window management).
It's for the publicity on all sides in the end (and the challenge to the competitors).
The winning team did alright, but the second place, nearly as good one got absolutely nothing for pretty much an equivalent result, they are the ones truly losing out, even if the prize was $100 million.
I wonder if this has anything to do with killing the odd/even release cycle.
I am just speculating, but perhaps with everything being a "real" release and new features coming constantly there is a continual push forward, without time for reflection and optimization.
Perhaps stability wins even (as wasn't part of the reason for the altered release the instability of backports), but at the price of performance.
I imagine the old way left more time to optimize new features, with less pressure to make more new ones.
As a desktop user, I think this could even be a win. I imagine what will happen is that this is the first step in slowing down the stream of new features for a little and speeding things up as a priority, and the public announcement is probably step one of the "non-existant" plan, hoping that a little shame will put pressure on people without much more ado needed.
And of course it doesn't match what he expected, It grew so much the GNU essentially gave up on their own OS and are instead providing the user land to Linux for the most part (yes there is HURD too)
Freakonomics had a table of murder rates throughout history, it was quite interesting.
The fact that our OMG sky is falling increases are from historically insanely low, to historically very low I found quite interesting.
And I am going to guess, but I bet availability of more deadly weapons increases the murder rate to violence rate, though I could be wrong, as it wasn't long ago that one could die from a shaving nick.
If I am not mistaken running executables essentially have an invisible hard link created to their old place on the disk. This disk space is not overwritten until the program stops running.
1) increased demand from more people having money to pay more (5 figures of equity accumulating in houses rapidly) 2) increased demand from the boomlet, largest high school class recently graduated, they are getting smaller now) 3) more people wanting to go
1 and 2 are past (well 2 for 20 years or so). Your starting to see things like U Penn free for PA residents with household income under 65k (not a lot but way over poverty line, and slightly over state median I think). I think it was Harvard that did similar for for 100k and nation wide.
The universities will do just enough to prevent revolt is my prediction.
This looks closer to GV than google voice. Apple rejected GV also (after accepting it), but this is about a dispute between Google and Apple, and GV is a third party app.
The G1 also has both an un-official (in the app store, but non-google) and an official (by google) voice app. Both have annoyances and plusses, so I use them both (GV for SMS, and Google Voice for dialing and message checking).
What has the NSA done for me lately? what do the know about me? What are their intentions for that information? Sorry I will take Google over the NSA any time.

I'm actually shocked they weren't already.
I mean, that's what google does, it indexes things/
Why would I expect my google doc I link to would be treated any differently than say, a PDF doc I link to?
I really just took it for granted that is was searchable,
Let's not forget Mozilla -> Firefox
That's how bounties work.

unless you are of he mentality of a 6 year old and leave it everywhere or lose such a device and need it strapped to your arm.
Doesn't wandering off and getting lost at the mall already imply that I do?
I bet not more violence.

I could where one at the mall myself.
Then I could wander around and get lost, and when shopping was done my wife could find me, wherever my whims took me.
I believe lax usage was how it was broken though.
To break Navy messages didn't the notebook full of keys need to be stolen?
The flawed usage by the ground forces allowed for the cracking using the spin lots of enigma machines (I forget the name)
Mine encouraged checking your mail with telnet.
I'm not quite sure what you mean there.
If I am not mistaken running executables essentially have an invisible hard link created to their old place on the disk. This disk space is not overwritten until the program stops running.
I'm most impressed that the app store even allows for apps that only run on rooted phones with custom firmware.
The super fancy consumer phone market?
Though I would say RIM did that with their handset shaped phones (was it Curve?)
It should re-adjust somewhat in price.
We had a few things happening:
1) increased demand from more people having money to pay more (5 figures of equity accumulating in houses rapidly)
2) increased demand from the boomlet, largest high school class recently graduated, they are getting smaller now)
3) more people wanting to go

Well MS hasn't either, though I agree OP was stating falseness as fact.

Yahoo! just got an erection.
It wouldn't shock me if Apple put a framework in place for easy map switching, as they don't like to be tied down (see CPU switching).
You should definitely work on the Linux kernel then.
Lots of polite discussion with people of similar interests.
I don't think I know a single person whom I can send an encrypted e-mail too (someone with a public key).
This makes it very hard to send an encrypted e-mail
What has the NSA done for me lately? what do the know about me? What are their intentions for that information? Sorry I will take Google over the NSA any time.
I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
More likely because they are main stream and in a growing market.
