Ha ha. Can someone please name one publisher/developer from Aus/NZ that hasn't created complete garbage? The only thing I can think of is that kiwi guy who made Day Z.
But as a resident of New Zealand 200 ping will always be guaranteed, unless we develop quantum sorcery over IP or some shit. Few publishers create servers in Australasia.
Strangely I find my myself agreeing with AC, Unity pretty and shiny, GNOME 2 look like old boring XP!
But seriously, it looked so cool at the time I had to try it; and as if by sheer luck have never, ever encountered any bugs that people often complain of. Even on on my Athlon XP machine.
I think it's fine, really don't understand what ten people are complaining about, it's not buggy, it's not slow, looks fine (though I don't really give a fuck how it looks). I'm a keyboard shortcut whore and anything with "press Super -> type -> shit -> shit happens" works fine for me.
iTunes might have problems but it's the only music library manager that actually makes an attempt at music library management.
I don't know what you're definition of "library management" is but if you're talking about tags/covers/file naming etc. then there's like a gazillion other apps do can do this in, Mp3tag, EasyTag, MediaMonkey, MusicBee...
It also integrates with a lot of neat gadgets in ways that no other software does.
Hmm, iPad, iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, and Macs. That's a whooping 5 products.
And Safari is great simply because it's the only web browser in the world that renders fonts properly. Firefox, Chrome, IE, and even Opera look just hideous.
That is purely personal preference. And you'll find that the majority of people like their fonts more hinted because they don't really care what the type is like if hinted fonts are easier to read.
I don't really see how it's remotely possible she "can't tell where the windows went". Running programs will always be on the launcher, even if on a different workspace. And if she's using the (non-default) autohide option like you said, what, can't she not tell where the launcher went even though it never goes anywhere except the left side?
Can't find the menu bar? That also never moves anywhere ever.
the fact that the architecture is simpler may make it easier for developers to wring better performance out of their games.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I always though it was the opposite. More complicated architecture meant more optimisation which meant more performance. Of course, more standard architecture means less optimisation and performance, but is obviously easier to develop for. Which, judging by the sort of games featured on the Wii, is probably better for Nintendo which isn't exactly known for spectacular photo-realistic cutting-edge graphics (or is it? I'm too young to know of anything before the N64...).
The problem with the PS3 was it was too reliant on optimisations with the Cell processor and took a lot of effort to get something half-decent.
Also, don't all modern consoles use some variation of the POWER architecture? Surely IBM must be the winner in the console industry...

Really? What sort of organism was that?

No matter, just tells me you're lying.

Random as...
Exactly like that. Now give OSX snapping windows!
Where I speak English "random" also means something you don't know of. Usually we refer to that group of people over there as "randoms".
Give OSX snapping windows and we'll talk.
Please learn sentence case.

It's not the headline. Rest easy.

...And six run Windows?
Well, some TV is kinda okay but the majority of it is utter shit, so don't even have one in your house.
Fuck that, no TV for the first nineteen years, and your child will be a fucking genius. TV is just a massive brain drain.
I seem to have added in an extra arrow accidentally.

Hey, we can make really crappy music too! And we let you in to shoot movies!
Like "no other software does"?

Sounds like a bunch of crap to me.
Exactly. This was what I was getting at with regards to the PS3. It's a trade-off.
