What makes commercials effective is the building of a trademark. Have you ever wondered why there are big posters with nothing but a logo on them? When you go to shop look what you will buy -- the 'noname' or the product with big posters and commercials. It comes down to this -- when you have two products that are the same you will buy the one you have seen around, because it gives a sense of trust: you 'know' it.
As for "soft shadows," try making shadow animals with the light from a flourescent bulb. Now try it with sunlight. Which one works? Now tell me which one is "not even close to parallel?"
A light bulb is a light source just as the sun, the diference is that the sun is at greater distance.
And you can remember all 15 pages right?
With tabs you have one click, with the one taskbar item you have two clicks. I switch a lot, I don't want to do two clicks all the time.
I general windows should be handled by the window manager, BUT browsing is a speciall case with more windows than usuall and they are changing much ofter too.
So who else think's that to BUY a new OS to get a decent window manager is a bit too much?
You hate tabs, I hate pages designed with popups.
You have a choice, and thank Galeon I have one too, all your popups go into tabs.
It still would be better if you left ME the choice how to open the picture, but then again, what good would bee web designers if not for forcing their content the way they think it is best...
Tools -> Internet Options... -> Advanced and just unmark Multimedia / Enable Automatic Image Resizing
It's so EASY, you could guess it, and so EASY to remember...
"This is a personal preference, of course, but I hate those damn tabs. Also, what happens when the browser crashes? Does it take down all your tabbed sites with it?"
"Don't know about the latest Mozilla, but Galeon brings you back to every single of your n tabs.
"Because if IE ever trips on shitty scripts (which is rare), it only takes the one instance down when it crashes."
Back in the Windows days I remember that it wasn't rare that IE took down not only all it's windows, but also the shell (explorer) and the whole system. No I haven't used XP, I can't aford it money/hardware/mental health wise.
"Computers have been an adventure for a couple decades now, but soon, for most, they'll just be tools again, about as exciting as screwdriver design."
Please show me a screewdriver that can do half as much as a computer.

What does the lenght of hair has to do with a presentable look?
What does the lenght of hair to do with respect?
You must be hanging around with wrong people ..
That's what the Gnome human interface guidelines say too...
No PayPal?
They won't shut it down, they will SPAM it.

...all the rays are parallel...
You really need to get out more, the sun is not a point and the rays are not even near to parallel: soft shadows etc.
You can't make all programs with the same UI. It doesn't works.
Galeon has mouse gestures for that...
"...rather than throwing it around the screen randomly all for the sake of choosing some options." Guess what they made the mouse for...
Why shoild I check my hardware if it runs PERFECt under GNU/Linux?
Check your damn OS.

But it lacks a kernel! Emacs/Linux...
Nuclear radiation? Satellites??? You mean the sun???
Powered by what???
...I'm NEVER going to use fixed width fonts again... You mean will never use the command line again?
That's because monitors don't draw full frames, but only a point at time. So when the beam reaches the botom, the top has already faded.
How about marketing?

By using a program you can't notice the bug in the SOURCE CODE, more so if it is CLOSED.
