Having some free time on my hands lately, I've been cruising iTunesU for stuff like this, it's been pretty great. I can sit in my living room doing work on my laptop with courses from Stanford, MIT or ${reputible_university} playing on my

When have they tested the water for lock down as opposed to just doing it and riding out the storm?

One note, you can use Better Touch Tool to invoke Spaces (and Expose) with gestures. I have 4-fingers-right for Spaces and 4-fingers down for Expose, is quite nice. I would be most unhappy if Spaces went away, but I wouldn't be too surpris

Very nice. My only feature suggestion would be a way to hide articles, something I wish HN itself could do but perhaps more important when articles take up more vertical space.

I'm pretty thrilled with the feedback on the request for a Visor-like feature (eg, quake terminal). If they get that implemented I'll certainly switch from Terminal.app.

All true, but there is certainly a significant portion of the techie community that sees Apple as a company that succeeds entirely based on marketing themselves as being hip while building blingtastic stupidware for people who are unable to

Sometimes a confirmation dialog will popup in a window, and I'm not sure about what conditions cause this, but it gets stuck "between" spaces so you will catch a glimpse of the dialog while switching spaces, but it vanishes once the desktop

Fair point, I suppose I just want a linux geek to look at the areas of OSX I consider to be deficient. I was thrilled when virtual desktops came to OSX as a core feature, but there are some bugs that seem like show stoppers that I'd think

That thing seems pretty beta, it even has a zoom button that does nothing. The translucent sidebar needs to be at least colorable (I'd opt for the standard grey though), I had a very dark background that made it hard to see where the windo

I often wish Apple employed a few longtime linux users to point out certain glaring deficiencies (primarily in app/library management, and in how Spaces works).

Nobody else seems to care about accuracy in labeling things "4G", I don't see why AT&T should.

I'm not sure what you think is in those sentences that amounts to a verified patent infringement of some kind. You would think though that in the ~8 months since Jason wrote this some kind of specific claim might have surfaced? I'm not at

This is not sales to consumers, this is sales to distribution channels.

I feel like there isn't a lot of weight in being the best spec'd phone, seeing as how it's generally a short lived title (as you point out).

Yeah, I can't really get with that analysis since I've dropped both NetNewsWire and the Google Reader web interface in favor of Reeder. It's short a few keyboard shortcuts but otherwise it's a lovely app to use.
