Bullshit. Moving between open windows is a cakewalk on OS X. Simply use Command+` to switch between open windows just as you would use Command+Tab to switch between open applications.

Hyatt Discusses Tabs

· Score: 1
I couldn't agree more. I'll go one step further though, and mention the time tabs confused my girlfriend.
My iBook is setup with multiple users, so that each gets their own set of preferences, etc. One day while we were sitting on the sofa watching TV, my girlfriend asks me "What are these?" For some reason, tabbed browsing was turned on in Chimera/Navigator/Camino. She had opened another page and it opened into a tab. She had no idea what it was, or how it got there. Why? Because it breaks the one window, one document metaphor. So, I had to show her how to close the tab and then I showed her how to go into preferences and turn them off.
Tabbed browsing is a poor solution to a questionable problem. Most importantly, it will confuse the majority of users. It doesn't belond in Safari.
I posted a trackback in response to Dave's assertation that tabs are scalable. I simply don't believe that they are, in fact prior to his article about tabs, scalability was one of the main weaknesses I would bring up in discussions about tabs -- it's not the main weakness, just one of them.
I wonder if my PowerMac G3 can take a Slashdot beating...
I've used iMovie's Ken Burns effect on my PowerMac G3 450. It seemed quick enough to me. Note that I haven't used iMovie's DV capability because I don't have a DV camera.
Exactly! They should invent something that would allow artists to be compensated for their works. I think they should call it "copyright." What do you think?
The only thing the T68i lacks that I want is J2ME. This has it, but it also has crap I don't care about like a camera -- and I assume it is more expensive than the T68i.
Will the T68i be replaced or will it get a price-reduction?
B&N was an example, it could be any company. The point is that if Amazon doesn't patent stuff that they do first, other companies are free to patent it and then the burden is on Amazon to either prove prior art or pay a licensing fee.
Step 1: This is simply yet another reason to not shop at Amazon. Show them that you don't belive in their system, don't shop there or at any of its affiliates. And make sure you tell everyone you know why you don't shop there.
Oh please! If they don't patent it, someone else will. Then, they'll be on the losing end of the deal.
I'd have to argue that point. It is very lightweight. It supports IMAP and POP. The drawer is a very conveinient place to locate the mailboxes. It integrates well with an excellent address book application. It has a wonderful learning spam filter. I've launched and toyed with KMail, Mozilla Mail, and Evolution recently. None of them match up.
Now then. I just installed Red Hat 8 on one of my computers not too long ago. This is the first time I've run Linux on one of my computers since 1995. How would I go about running GnuMail on Red Hat 8? Would it work with one of the existing window environments (Gnome or KDE) or would I need to install GnuStep?
If the Linux herd is going to clone anything; it should be Apple Mail, iCal, and Address Book. Small, lightweight, and excellent utilities for their functions.
Well, then your hunch hasn't been proven correct yet. There is still time for the release version of Safari to have the tabs functionality removed from it or replaced with something more worthwhile. Features found in betas have been removed for finals before, you know.
Apple's engineering quality has declined. It seems they are trying to see what they can get away with now. The noisy power supplies are one example. Anyone else have the lid latch retainer thing break for no good reason?
If you bought a PowerMac, you bought it for a reason: expandability. Anyone with a PowerMac either can handle this themselves or has someone staffed that can.
The Konfabulator widget does in fact report the proper status of "orange." There is an alternate mode which gives a description of the status in a larger widget -- since no one knows what the hell orange means.

How old is HFS+?
I still don't see how this will help when DLLs are overwritten, though.
Did Microsoft change the color of the blue screen of death?
SyncML isn't listed as one of its features. My next cell phone will support SyncML so that I can use it to sync up with Address Book on my Mac.

What is your point? Apple licensed one-click from Amazon.
You buy the wrong albums. I enjoy the vast majority of the songs on the albums in my 300+ album collection.

You can do this now with Macs and Bluetooth phones over GPRS.

It's the system, not Amazon.
Amazon is forced to do this because the system is broken. If they didn't do it, Barnes & Noble would.
Yeah, you've got me pegged...
Just because I don't agree with you on this Amazon patent issue, I am an apathetical slacker?
I will not stop shopping with Amazon over this.

I live by my task list. But, I would rather enter them in iCal (why didn't they call it Calendar?) than Outlook.

Is version 1.0 out? Does it have tabs?
No, and no?

I don't know, the Homeland Security status indicator is a small Aqua-style pill displaying the color and name of the current alert. :)
