Touche. Do you know of any that replicate the Mac GUI? (Expose too, if possible.) I'm considering switching to Linux, but taskbars give me a considerable headache.

Are you using VGA? My crappy XP work computer remembers my resolution and calibration when plugging the monitor in through DVI. To be honest, the bluetooth thing is actually amazing--I tend to lose or break the little dongles when moving ar

The whole post is just a rant and trolling bait, almost flag-worthy. the real problem with OS X is that it tries to be Windows and Linux Every single major window manager for Linux uses a taskbar, something seen and introduced primarily i

Actually, a sizable portion of HN thinks that Apple will start to take after Microsoft in the 90's in regards to the web. (They also seem to think Google made WebKit's inspector pane.) A big complaint is about the -webkit prefix, despite th

If your system's fine, it might be ram usage. Seriously, it's probably a system issue, my four year old laptop runs Safari extremely well.

It didn't freeze my computer or stutter my mouse like Flash or a runaway ietester.exe process, despite being at the same CPU usage. (50%) Also, I'd say that this allows the browser vendor opportunity to deal with runaway scripts in a better

At the Genius Bar on Saturday (free out-of-warranty repair, to boot) the chick who was doing the sign-in on an iPad used the orientation lock about four times while she checked in the lady ahead of me and myself. I'd say that an orientation

Adobe's a tool company forged in the print world, where it's ok for a single, for-profit company to control an functionally option-less standard (See Pantone.) Their biggest mistake was in buying Macromedia and trying to make Flash the Pant

I've seen novices do amazing design work. (Usually they go on to a portfolio school after working for a few year or building a studio, though.) Practice and good taste is pretty much the only things in design. Low-end design is pretty much

Yep on the spine thing. A morning workout is a good way to get metabolism up after resting, but anybody training (except for marathons, which largely start in the morning) should work out at night, when the body is more efficient. A workout

Right, there's this type of application:window divide in OS X which is really nice. There's two levels of window switching, between-applications and between-app-windows that beats the pants off of the "traditional" taskbar model seen in XP

Yeah, but .NET, IE6 and a lack of any UNIX underpinnings scares a lot of us. It was pretty impressive, though.

That always seemed like the reason for the initially very limited storage on early Android handsets. The original iPhone was out with 3-15 gigs of storage for apps, while the G1 had around 100mb.

Too bad it's impossible to port something. Absolutely, completely impossible. In fact, once something is coded onto a platform, the cosmic censor prevents one from even using that brand in a different way on a different platform. See: Dia

Well, there are situations in which a mp3 player is more appropriate. The gym, and anywhere that it could get damaged. As such, I use both my iPod nano and touch both on a daily basis. If the iPhone 4 was made of lab-grown diamond, sure, wh

Very true. His complaints on how the functionally infinite artboard space of a computer fixes the problem of “clutter” is sheer madness. That’s not to say that Apple’s completely justified in this case. Even though the different apps are pu

Webkit's resource tracker shows that most of the static content is taking anywhere from 10-14 seconds to be requested, and then loading with a 304 not modified. The page, from the news.ycombinator subdomain is loading quick, as is the track

Obviously it's not as nice as Webkit's dev-first, production second model. And, since no patches are being introduced from the community, I would think that a better description would be "creative-commons code." This is indicative of a prod

A suggestion, if you're interested. The pop-up on a wrong guess is a little heavy-handed. It's ok for the first time, but sometimes I would actually like to go to the article. Maybe allow the person to browse to it, but mark the link with a

Heh, I'm actually a designer as well, and a printmaker who was vetted for the tamarind institute a while ago. Designers don't want to be boxed into the art world, as modern art is strictly solipsistic, and attempts to make a statement in an

Good taste, iteration, and eating your own dogfood goes a long way. Design isn't some unattainable skill, and people new to it can still do a good job designing stuff. It's more like an opinion, sure, some people have such a correct track r

True. I guess I meant programmers. programmers : hackers :: designers : artists. The difference between an artist and a designer is that the designer is incapable of using ugliness to express a truth. (Also, money.) I like to liken programm
