Re:Reasons for using KDE/Gnome on OS X w/Finder

On: KDE Running on Mac OS X

Don't even get me started on the Finder's utterly, utterly useless "alt-tab" - what a pointless piece of crap. You simply _CANNOT_ switch windows with it, only applications! Great, you can switch focus to the most recently used window in one app or the most recently used window in another, but there is NO FUCKING WAY you can change amongst those app's windows without using the mouse and going to the "window" menu or using "expose" (all involve several distracted seconds on that bastard touch-pad mouse thing).

Try Apple+~ to switch between windows of the open application. Also, calm down, and drink less coffee. Finder is a bit of a mess, but the Apple-Tab is fantastic, simply for being able to Apple+Q to quit applications without giving them focus.

The Nokia 1100

On: Minimalist Cell Phones?

Designed for the Russian market, it's an indestructable effort with a membrane keyboard like an old Sinclair ZX81.
Features:

• a monochrome screen that's actually visible in daylight
• superb battery life
• ability to make and receive calls and texts
• phone number memory
• predictive text input
• built in LED torch!

But let's face it, this is really about what it doesn't feature:

• WAP
• IR/Bluetooth
• Java games
• Downloadable ringtones
• Polyphonic ringtones
• Half second lag between pressing a key and phone responding (Sony Ericsson T610, I'm looking at you)
• Crashes
• Crazy Frog
