Totally agree. I've never found a good use for it in any desktop environment I've used.
Good example of eye-candy: drop shadows in OSX. They're pretty, but utterly useless. I like that. Drop shadow are very useful! They're fundamental to help you locate the focused window and to understand at a glance the z-order of the windows. Leopard has received some major revamping of its shadows, to make those task even easier.
Oh really? Please tell me what feature of Linux comes even close to Time Machine? No rush...I'll wait.
"wow, OS X is finally getting what UNIX/Linux users have had for ages.". I'm sorry, could you mention one (1) solution for incremental backup that UNIX/Linux ages have had for ages and the Mac OS X users didn't?
I like the "High bandwidth radio networks are more error-prone" part. It's so full of evidence, data, and accurate reasoning that you just can't help but agree with it.
a) E-mail. gmail poorly supported under safari. firefox experience constant lock-up : google for "firefox freeze mac" if you don't believe that Safari support is not that bad. Or you can try camino. Or you can try Mailplane (based on webkit, should be somewhat more supported)
b) word-processor: neooffice useless, word is incredibily slow on a dual core machine and constantly brings machine with 1/2 gb to swapping. I know it is rosetta emulated, but this is not my problem. Sorry to disappoint you, but it appears like it IS your problem. And BTW, the universal build of NeoOffice has been around since last year.
c) Printer - had to install compiler suite to compile driver for linux to get my konica minolta working. It felt like early days of linux, haven't done that in ages. This just sucks. It baffles me that Konica does not have Mac drivers, really.
d) Websites: movies didn't work and flip4mac didn't help either. My wife was furious. Luckily the converted to flash movies. Frankly speaking, this really sounds like a flaimbait. Could you please point us to a non-mac-working movie? Once i installed flip4mac I've never had any problem with any kind of... video material... from anywhere.
[...]than at least for setting such a terrible precedent that the RIAA can now use as a bat to beat over other defendants in other court cases. So, she deserves the fine because she let the RIAA fine her?
I don't care about copyright,i'm against any copyrights whatsoever. Uhm, yes, whatever.
I just seen that ubuntu looks more windows-like then mandrake(i.e. GUI-centric with GUI apps).
mandrake was full of badly coded Gui apps. The only familiar sight was the "linux kernel loading" dialog which resembles old windows 95 dialogs with default theme. If you want windows, stick with it. You'll just have to bear with its suckiness (which is arguably more than Linux (different) suckiness).
...are you hinting that the IP linux distros have stolen from microsoft is user frustration?:P
Seriously, I hope you're prepared to read 5k comments stating that "you should have used another distro/used kde/installed slack/do it from terminal/whatever".
There's an app called image capture in your applications folder: open it, open the preferences, set the desired behaviour. If I recall correctly, iPhoto asked you the first time.

You mean like when they bought the butt-ugly Arial preferring it over the Helvetica just because it was cheaper?
There's no thing such as a "Cone Of Silence"! Either Cone Of Cold or Silence/Zone of silence, choose the one you prefer.
I don't think that you're entitled to resell it.

Whish I had mod points now. BTW, since angels tend to shine, they would be... pretty much radiant.
It depends on how frequently you have set your email client to check your mailbox.

It is quite amusing if you think that what is now considered the main effect of Viagra was considered a side effect during the initial tests :)
Finally, somebody who thinks of the (gorilla) children!

Imagine a Lone Beowulf cluster of these!
I'm trying to figure out how facing a monitor with one's asshole could be defined "discreet", but I can't.
Sorry to be a Yoda Grammar nazi, but you misspelled FTW.

You misspelled "bios"
