this reflects the problem with a lot of development these days, people like the above say why bother optimising? why bother making things efficient? we have plenty of bandwidth / CPU cycles to play with. and thus we have bloatware. makes ya wanna weep.
i never understand why some people are happy to work at home, it blurs the distinction between your time and the company's time to the extent where there may no longer be a distinction.
a good computer shouldn't require you to know how it works, similarly a decent car shouldn't require you to know how to fix it (by not breaking down). as well as being a geek's best friend a computer is also a tool
the babylonians also had a story about a man being warned about a great flood by the gods and he built a large boat for his family and animals so survive the deluge that was about to flood the earth. hmm sounds familiar;)
i've posted a screenshot in another post in this topic.

Most of the other design features also sound more like bunch of men were having a laugh as to what a woman wants in a car... like being able to colour-coordinate with your clothes
my wife likes the fact the seats and interior of my car are black, it goes with anything!

i suppose the idea is, if no one can see it it won't make any money and so it wouldn't be produced in the fist place. i doubt it'd stop it though.
ah, looking at everymac's page for the SE it could run up to 7.5.5. shudder at the slowness of that!
imagine you are wearing a skirt? you are addressing a slashdot audience you know?
oh i love my job (web design) and do something similar for a hobby but i don't want to do work at home, 37.5 hours is enough time to be on call.

So it can highlight sentences of a webpage at a time and display them as large type. I must admit I am rather underwhelmed by this paradigm shift.
