nice try. but to enforce that the prosecutor would have to call the guy "a complete moron"... i don't think the jury would take that very well.

It DOES slow you down. can't you notice on the video? They guy is pedaling standing up and it barely moves. btw, this is the same concept that forces racers to use slim tires. less cushioning, but less drag.

even though i think windows is wrong by not unpleasing users with design changes for the better... and not agreeing that white space may be ok to separate the tag list and the message, there's no excuse to: 1. the buttons without labels.
