@madthoughts: Agree, after 30boxes decided they weren't doing too well grabbing the calendar space, they tried this as their mission statement. But implementation was poor and unattractive.

And good luck to Bill Gates. I couldn't care less how many silicon valley geeks he's upset over the years if he and Warren Buffett continue down their current path of making the greatest (and most effective) philanthropic contributions in history.

For god's sake people should just lay off UAC. The vast majority of people have no idea what goes on on their computers and leave themselves at great risk. Microsoft has recognised that all those friends who constantly ask me to fix their messed up computers have no idea what they are doing and ought to have built-in,…

Hooray!!!! I'm over the moon - it seems that since that post Google blogoscoped post Google have added the ability to restrict search to read items, and even more usefully just starred items, from a simple dropdown.

Well, I am a big fan of Mozilla, but after that publicity drive, and all the hoo-haa about Download Day, it is downright incompetent of them to not have planned for the server load. Cretinously incompetent in fact.

I agree with several other posters... this is a very poor study, scientifically. To study how people assess the validity of spoken material by getting them to read transcripts of that material reveals a fundamental failure to understand the difference between how written and spoken language is interpreted.

@Hypermark:Thanks - that's a great video!

I was a massive Launchy fan when I used XP. Now I am on Vista the simple Vista start menu suits me fine. I know Launchy has multiple other functionality, but I just don't need it.

So what's the advantage over using TiddlyWiki (which I adore, and has revolutionised my note-taking and management for my academic research).

@joelena: I've been using RenameMaster for this kind of thing for a while - it works well but I really don't like the interface...

@Rhywun: I completely agree...

The single most useful "trick" (and by far the most well established in research) is simply repetition.

@rtlong: No it shouldn't...

@ph15h needs followers: I hope you're joking, because if not you have completely missed the point.

There is no scientific evidence base to support ANY of these suggestions at all (with the sole exception of postural improvements), and some (such as colonic hydrotherapy) are potentially dangerous.

I agree with the point that unclutterer frequently takes some rather extremist positions on the issue of "clutter".

A lot of the above advice is from coders and other IT professionals, or ex-computer science students.

I'm embarrassed to admit I've always avoided sewing on buttons, never knew how to do it properly...

Perfect number of posts... Enough to keep me interested but not overwhelmed...

Ugh... ignore both above posts... I thought you meant drag and drop onto the image unavailable icon and not into the folder itself.
