They're intuitive if you're used to using them in other places. You should know Cmd-Q and Cmd-H to quit and hide applications, so it would only make sense for those behaviors work exactly the same in the application switcher. the spacebar is used in Finder to activate QuickLook, which gives you a larger preview of

Trust us, it grows on you. Something you never really notice when you get used to it, but is extremely irritating when you don't have it.

Cmd-Tab cycles through open applications just like in Windows. You can also use Cmd-` (key above Tab) to cycle through open windows of the active app. Open a few browser windows and try it out.

Unreliable software yes, but as far as the hardware's concerned, it's good as Windows.

Any moderately-experienced OS X user will use his/her thumb for Command instead of his/her pinky. Exactly the same, just people are more experienced at one versus the other.

The time it takes for Word to open from scratch to see if that .DOC is the one you wanted vs. QuickLook is considerable.

8:40 more or less summarizes why I use OS X.

I like the part where you used Windows Vista.

xACT is one, Max is another, but I prefer X Lossless Decoder

Take a breather. I think iTunes performs admirably based on everything it does: organize music, TV shows, movies, podcasts, internet radio, apps, and playlists. That's a tall order in and of itself. Now add the ability to access an online store to purchase all of that media, and networking all of it with other PCs

I think we're past the point of using mobile phones with other functionalities to using portable, multipurpose computers which also happened to make telephone calls.

So what? People freak out because the Backspace key has another name, but is otherwise in the same position and preforms the exact same operation? Also, there's no dedicated forward-delete key so they created keyboard shortcut to do it?

Rocking an old G5 iMac. Baby needs an upgrade.

And no offense, compared to cities in major markets like, say, the west coast or New England, Battle Creek is considered a small town (I'd like to show these people Scotts though). Explains why we just got AT&T 3G a few weeks ago.

I live in Climax-Scotts. Small world, although mine does have AT&T DSL in it. (Well Scotts has it, Climax has CTS).

I also don't want to spend $50 on something I'll hardly use. The free Google Maps Navigation is amazing, for those times you need it.

I'm talking about the Google Voice app for iPhone, which likes to throw crashing and freezing tantrums every 10 minutes of use.

Perhaps I'm a snob, but all iOS navigation apps look like total shit, for both UI and UX.

Makes it feel like a solid surefooted piece of equipment, which I appreciate. Seems like its waiting for you to throw something at it, not gasping for breath at every moment.
