   The word makes you upset only because you assign to it an overly positive meaning it doesn't have. Iconic is close in meaning to recognizable. This sound—just like the Nokia one ten years ago, the Windows or Mac startup sounds, the Int

    Well, in that aspect you actually have a very close experience with an iPad: except for the device material value, you can toss it and get a new one to be identical just by signing in and waiting for it to restore the automated backup from

    What you are saying is that the option would be fine if it was in a fonts menu but it’s offensive because it is in accessibility. That is not right. You are absolutely free to think the font choice is poor and that the existence of that opt

    If you consider offensive using an option just because it’s under the accessibility menu instead of the fonts menu you are being offensive. Please note that I never mentioned the design choices being discussed, I may love or hate the font b

    Did you really install it? Why? Just to take a jab at it? You should have used VLC if you are not on a Mac. The video stream is H264, not QuickTime video.

    Since I was about to say the same thing you already did, I’ll add that the difference is that kerning refers to adjusting the spacing between specific character pairs instead of the whole text (which is what letter-spacing/tracking does). F
