Alt-spacebar requires multiple keystrokes and does not allow easy tiling or snapping to corners/center.

I see the "dumbed down" complaint a lot, but I don't understand it. What is missing from Unity that you could do before? Or is it that if something is pretty or simple it is automatically worth less somehow than something ugly or complica

Alt-shift-tab cycles backwards through the window stack for me. What did you want it to do that it is not?

"Most people hate Unity." Can you show me the data that you've gathered on this? I'd love to see the user survey. (Is it maybe possible that just because you don't like something, others still could?)

"That's hubris on the part of Canonical." I genuinely find this attitude confusing. I gave a presentation to a user group at a senior center last night on Ubuntu, during which one person made a similar argument. (The only real difference w

So the solution to "you're ignoring the community" is to ignore the community? That strikes me as an odd suggestion. And if you can show me a single personal attack from Shuttleworth here, I'd be very interested. I don't always agree with

My understanding is that with a bundled plan, updates do not count against the data budget for this device.

Also, to start a new instance of a window you can middle-click on its icon in the launcher. This works with more than just the terminal (browsers, word processors, etc.).

Yep, several: 1. If the windows are maximized, unmaximize them by clicking on a button or by dragging the window down from the top of the screen. Arrange as you please. 2. Drag a window to the left or right side of the screen. It will res

According to their FAQ they do not plan to support Linux: http://support.lytro.com/entries/20552347-will-the-lytro-des... So my guess is that this will be proprietary and limited to proprietary systems. (Which disappoints me, as I have a

Optimus requires driver support to perform the switching, which so far nVidia has refused to even think of adding for Linux. Since their drivers are closed, there's not much more that can be done. It's possible that support might eventual

Canonical is pretty much always hiring and is an amazing place to work. Most of the jobs are actually home-based, but we have an office in Lexington that's specified for a few of them (and certainly available for anyone who wants to be in

This is totally misleading. All Mark said is that it's possible that Chrome would replace Firefox if the community decides that, but even then it wouldn't happen until 12.10 (more than a year away) at the earliest. This is no different fro

While (I believe) you're right about Apple adding the 3D cube effect for multiple logins, X was explicitly designed to allow multiple concurrent users on the same machine. While many Linux distros did not have that configured by default in

Matt is a fantastic guy and almost frighteningly smart. But for all his expertise he's one of the easiest people to work with and for that I have known. I'm sure he'll do well in whatever he does, and I'm very glad to know that he will co

Currently the panel will display if you mouse to the upper-left of the screen. It took me a day or so to get used to but I strongly prefer it over the entire left edge of the screen being a hotspot -- on other OSes I waste a lot of time wa

Right-clicking on the 'Applications' lens presents an organized list of application types. It's only one-level deep rather than truly hierarchical but it works quite well.

I agree that it's a fraction of a second slower, as the box populates a bit slower than Gnome-Do. (Though I suspect that's just an area for optimization rather than an intent of the design.) However, for frequently-used applications, you c

A lot of what makes 4chan work is the lack of karma. There's no way to keep score on who said something popular or unpopular in the past, so each post or comment is necessarily evaluated on its own terms. I don't see a way to add karma

The only thing here that's surprising to me is that there are still people left who don't expect Apple to be totally indifferent (at best) toward developers on their platform.

StackOverflow and Hacker News both seem to actively discourage casual participation. I am the sort of person who doesn't like to speak unless I have something new to add, so I don't post comments or answer questions often. However, I'm qui

Nope, it's more that we just have several open positions that haven't been filled. Sometimes a single posting goes up for multiple positions, so it will stay up until all the positions have been filled. (And while it's true that we prefer

Youtube is rendered by Flash. Entirely. As in, Ubuntu did not write the software, has no control over it, and can't make it run any faster. Just like Apple and Microsoft can't. There are also slimmed down Ubuntu versions for older hardwa
