Dragging an app into /Applications does just that: it copies a directory (hidden with an .app extension) that contains resources and executable. No script. Some apps however come with an installer, but that's for apps that do more (e.g. nee

You have hit a sensible chord: yes we are taught English in school, oftentimes starting very young. However, our children are also very good at pointing fingers at others: should one make a little mistake or have a decidedly french-sounding

Indeed. We are very aware of our flaws and almost ashamed of our french accent. Some know it may be an asset elsewhere (especially cause some people find it charming), but the whole rest prefer to avoid it. I don't think it's intentionally

Because we are utterly bad at it. Aside the (deserved) reputation to be prompt to go on strike, the (unfair) reputation that we don't take bath on a daily basis, we also have the reputation to suck at speaking foreign languages. (I'm sure y

Actually, now that you mention it, I pretty much wear the same-looking clothes all year long. I have one brand and a favorite cut for each of my garments and I stick to it. I even have 20 pairs of identical black socks for easy selection in

I was going to say the same things. Hopefully, there has been some serious work done on iOS 7 and it'll probably address most of the OP's concerns. However, I do hope they introduce none of these customization shenanigans. I don't care for

My father runs a company which has been in our family for 250 years. It weaves silk fabrics for luxurious furnitures for mansions and alikes (Versailles comes to mind). He's always told me that he'll never try to register its designs to any
