They had me until the cable section. Wasn't it just some time ago tested that lamp cord was just as good as speaker cable as high end $$$ cables? They even go as far as recommending Monster cable, which are expensive marketing more than anything.

@Fuzzy Logic: There are probably tons of apps that are essentially the same thing maybe for a different state or sports team or whatever.

At least for me, the big hurdle is actually getting started rather than finding the time. Once I get going, I get results and feel proud of myself for not wasting the day sitting in front of the computer or watching TV but creating something or improving myself.

Even if they are made by the same company, for many the brand and their designs are the important thing, not the functionality as sunglasses.

Not a fan. Seems rather half-baked in many areas. For example the Facebook side doesn't seem to support events at all. The Google Reader side is kept back by the separate reader pane, I think a Google Reader style "feed item expands into full content" view would be more useful.

I wonder if the power pack for it will still be freakin huge. That seems to be a big issue with prosthetics.

@Dipso: The two knob faucet is often used as an example of usability failure.

Lack of right click functionality for the recent items makes this far less useful.

Shame about FF 4.0 beta's startup time. Hopefully the final version will start faster because the browser itself is still the best on the Mac IMO.

@emag: While on the surface it looks just fine and is very customizable, the actual customizing is still just as awkward because Opera has updated nothing but the looks - many things still function exactly as badly as they did back in Opera 8.

I truly hope the wireless iTunes syncing doesn't require MobileMe.

@thesultanofswing: The preferences dialog for example is downright archaic in places, it's exactly the same mess it was in Opera 8 and below. The downloads dialog just goes to show the problem - it's this "by programmers for programmers" type thing that has all the options ever in an unnecessarily complicated UI.

The only problem is that the connector again isn't that great. The stupid tabs on ethernet cables break easily and when they do, they don't stay in the socket well at all. So if this gets adopted, hopefully they rework the connector a bit too.

I wish Transmission was available for Windows. I've set µTorrent so that it has the minimal amount of info on screen but it's still not as nice as Transmission.

@capitalH: The consoles are mentioned so people have some idea what x triangles/sec means in the real world.

I haven't bothered in a long while. SBSettings was really the only thing that was truly useful to me.

I think what OSX truly needs is better audio and video players. While Movist+Perian is quite good in the video front, there's nothing that offers the same level of post processing powers as MPC Home Cinema + ffdshow.

You can run OSX in a virtual machine but obviously it's not as easy as what Parallels and VMWare Fusion offer on the Mac.

If it can sync (or even just transfer music manually) with my iPhone on the Mac, then sure.

Dropbox for me.
