    I still can't believe the 'skeuomorphic' interfaces for Calendar and Reminders made it into the final version of Mountain Lion. These apps are often in the corner of the screen while working with different applications; they should be minim

    There are some peculiarities with the `with` statements, but mainly it is just dog-slow compared to a standard lookup. Last time I checked it was 200-300 times slower to use the `with` statement rather than just doing an `obj.key` lookup. I
