If the applications are made specifically for OSX by the very same company that made OSX, and yet can't play nicely with the GUI, I think that says something about the GUI.
You could at least read the article, it's an ARM SoC that serves as a separate UMPC inside the laptop. Kind of like having a N810 inside your laptop if you will.
Didn't you get the memo? We don't RTFA. We simply skim TFS for keywords, and then post with an authoritative tone, as though we had not only read TFA, but had actually authored it AND examined the subject in a PhD thesis.
I resent that. I'm personally looking forward to the new release of Debian. I've been hearing good things about KDE3, so I'm hoping that it's stable enough to be included in this version.
I also hear that some mysterious issues with OpenSSL have been fixed by Debian developers, which could save us from memory leaks and increase performance. Personally, I'm amazed that the OpenSSL devs haven't fixed this issue themselves yet.
Obviously, this distro is where all the exciting new development action happens. I'm very excited to be on the bleeding edge with Debian!
Everything "just works" with Ubuntu on my Lenovo T61p except the card reader, and less importantly, finger scanner. It would be nice if the card reader worked...
What if I want to work with multiple maximised applications?
"Most applications don't start maximised" isn't a solution. I want them maximised, so if they don't start that way, I will do it manually. And from there, I can't just "[click] a window behind the front one".
And once I have 5-6 maximised applications (which is more often than not), "clicking the red or yellow dot in the upper left hand corner of most windows and then clicking the window behind" becomes an utter PITA.
OSX may be pretty, but it's a usability trainwreck. There's nothing intuitive about it.
I've never know invalid HTML to crash IE. I don't think I've ever know IE to take any notice of the code at all. From what I've seen, it downloads the page, strips the code, and then throws whatever is left at the screen...
I'm surprised this hasn't been modded as flamebait yet, but it's absolutely correct.
I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 on my desktop computer at the moment. That is,
P4 2.66GHz
512MB of RAM
GeForce2 MX400 graphics card
No overclocking, no tricks, running the latest version of Ubuntu with far more 3d eye-candy than Aero is capable of, every service on, a crap load of extra packages installed, including server software (such as mySQL and Apache) running in the background, running Firefox with 10 tabs on one desktop, Evolution on another, xChat on the third, and Rhythmbox, Skype and Pidgeon on the fourth, and it's still nice and responsive.
I'd be lucky to get Vista to even install, let alone run Aero and programs as well...
Way back in the mists of time, part of my University training was on Human-Computer Interfaces and how not to design them. One of the first things we were told about was excessive alerts and excessive confirmations. It just causes the user to be desensitized to those things that are important, and they end up hitting the given key or clicking the necessary box without really reading any of the dialog presented. This actually worsens security. Especially if there's any way to silence such warnings, by disabling them for example, or having a utility that injects a confirmation into the module that handles the dialog.
Want to know exactly how true this is?
Hands up if you know what "EnableBalloonTips" is, and what it does.
It's true. I'm in a medium-sized Australian country town, and if I wanted to (and had the money), I could obtain 5 or 6 of them when the stores open tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, we'd have to sell them at $US450-500 to make exporting them economical...

That depends on whether it's a wood-fired pizza oven or an electric pizza oven.
Why would you want to heat hot water though? I'd rather heat cold water...

There's bound to be an app to do that for you, for the low, low price of $29.99.
Why is it that you have to buy apps just to get basic functionality, like sending pictures over MMS?
That's "Whoooooosh".
You must be new here...

^H
You keep using that term, but I don't think it means what you think it means...
A joke(/meme) dies a thousand deaths in its explanation. Nevertheless: ^H is the terminal control character for backspace. Therefore

I have never seen an ISP that could be used as a measure of efficiency. Incompetence, sure, but not efficiency...
Just thought I'd let you know that I just modded you up.

It's hard to tell between a left-click, middle-click, and right-click on a one button mouse...
