... which is somewhat amusing, since having a menu bar at the top of the screen is actually better design
... yeah, if you're still developing your fine motor skills.
Menus belong in the window that owns them. If I am switching back and forth between windows in the near vertical and near horizontal center of the screen (say I'm cutting and pasting between a web browser and a terminal window), why is it better to select the text in the browser, move up to the menu bar (copy), move back down to the terminal (select it by clicking), move up to the menu bar (paste) and then back down to the terminal?
IMNSHO, this is the ONLY aspect of the UI that Microsoft, Sun, and friends got right.
(and yes, I'm aware of the shortcut keys, but few non-weenies use them [but what non-weenie uses a terminal, anyway?])
Are you forgetting that the executees/executed also have families? The means of death is irrelevent here! By executing a murderer, we are inflicting no less pain on the murderer's family than he inflicted on his victim's family.

That's California law. Where in the article does it say the device was manufactured, possessed, or used in that state?
