So what can we get from this article if we're selling software to normal people over the internet? No meetings, client is not on LinkedIn, no breakfast/lunch/dinner, etc.

This always bothered me about SEOmoz's new public analytics button on all their blog updates. The button says "Post Analytics". That makes me think "send analytic to SEOmoz". But what they really mean is "view this blog post's analytics".

From the title I thought it would be a goodwill gesture. "Text messages are so ubiquitous now, they should be a standard part of every phone plan." Nope. Now the only option is $20 for unlimited texting.

Sorry, but what are the red/green numbers? Net profit, or are they the +/- difference from last month?

So you want to prevent some poor independent hacker from selling his patents to large companies?

"No one other than Nathan Myrvold and his cronies sees the U.S. patent system as functioning properly, but Google’s hypocrisy here is absurd. Google isn’t arguing against a handful of never-should-have-been-issued software patents. They’re

Adding to that: 'modern' apps are doing away with menubars completely. Chrome has a single button for options/settings, Office has the Ribbon, etc. OS X requiring a menubar for apps, even when they don't need one, is a huge barrier to UI in

Because windows are grouped into app bundles. In each bundle, windows are stacked on top of each other. Thus smaller hitboxes, obscured content, harder to select a particular window.

Well put. Lion doesn't have an "all windows entirely visible" Expose mode, which will change my workflow immensely. P.S. There's a hack to change Snow Leopard Expose back to Leopard style. First thing to do on any SL install.

+1, trying it out now and it works pretty well. Really wish there was a simple multiple monitor app though. The ActualMultipleMonitors settings screen is a clusterfuck, has all these 'features' like extra title menu buttons that I don't wan

Er, so you agree? Want the "all windows" mode back?

by pkamb 15y ago
It's really not still there though. Mission Control always groups by app. No way to get an immediate spread of all open windows. Instead you have to explore the bundles of windows grouped by app.

Power users go with the "Combine when taskbar is full" option. Reduces clicks and hover times tenfold.

The dock is an application organizer, the taskbar is a window organizer. Big difference. The windows on each monitor should be represented in a taskbar on that same monitor. Easier to comprehend, faster to mouse to. The app Ultramon does th

OS X has always had its own window management protocols, different from full-screen alt-tab but arguably just as good. In Leopard it was all-windows-Expose, activated via mouse flicks to the screen hotcorners. It was great, really natural.

Windows is just as bad. Windows 7 doesn't ship with multiple taskbars for your secondary monitors. Seriously? What's worse is that the developers actually making these features are probably using more than one monitor. And hitting those pro

When I read the title I though "Hmm, what's this? Streaming videos of babies modeling the clothes you're thinking about buying or something?" It took me a minute to remember Netflix has that little DVDs-by-mail business as well. Maybe this

I have a similar issue with many iOS apps I use occasionally. I'll start up the app, weeks after last using it, and instead of the app's main screen it'll take me somewhere deep in the app. The screen where I last left off, weeks ago. I don

My one criticism of NFS is that there's no way to save a credit card on file. Certainly makes those "inspiration struck, better go register the domain" purchases much more of a have-to-pull-out-the-wallet ordeal... but maybe making random
