The less email I get the more work I get done.

Hooking up to social networks would be a big minus for me. I only use Facebook out of necessity, I certainly don't want that shit in my e-mail app.

Poor format support, slow even with a SSD and a bunch of other annoyances. Plus I really don't want my music player to have a store, handle apps or have some stupid social network thing in it. Bloatware.

I much prefer Transmission to µTorrent. If Transmission was for Windows I'd use that too. It doesn't have all the unnecessary clutter of µTorrent and now that µTorrent is fucking around with apps and other crap it's going straight to hell anyway. I still use the older 2.x on Windows because it doesn't have the useless…

At work we still use OSX 10.5 on most machines. It works quite decently but 10.6+ only software is becoming more and more prominent. We've going to go straight to 10.7 soon.

It's not that you miss Flash - what you're missing is competent web developers for the sites you use. Doing something like dropdown menus in Flash is archaic and stupid.

Why does NFC require touching back to back? I imagine this would make for some pretty awkward looking moments because it's not the way people hold phones. Wouldn't it make more sense to bump the top edges? Then it would work when holding the phone as well as when it's on a table.

The mere fact that you need to be connected to power essentially makes Wi-Fi syncing useless for the most part considering the most common power source is the same computer you would use for syncing.

micro-HDMI = not able to run displays above 1920x1200 resolution. Not because the latest HDMI spec can't do it but because nobody does high res HDMI displays that support them.

It's funny how Adobe has people capable of writing this kind of stuff yet at the same time they seem to have a group of monkeys designing user interfaces.

I imagine constantly turning the amp on and off plus the electricity the Arduino uses might cause more wear on the amp and not really reduce power use.

Wouldn't it make more sense to mask the parts you don't want so in case you make a mistake you can just go back. Not to mention using a Wacom tablet for brushing out the parts rather than lassoing and deleting.

Can't we just agree that the USB connector and socket are poorly designed? Even the mini-versions are much better because you don't have to look for some logo that may or may not be there to know which way to plug in.

No Thunderbolt because the chips required for it are still physically huge. Will probably take a year or two before they're down to cellphone size.

Growl is indeed great and the developers do deserve some compensation (hey Apple, how about hiring them and buying their system?) but as a paid app I fear it will simply fade into obscurity when developers move to a free option they can bundle with their software. Growl's success is mostly because many programs…

I haven't checked it out yet, but earlier the radio feature has been totally broken and utterly shit. It would keep playing songs by the same artists, most of which are not something you have ever listened and probably hate. In my case I kept getting several Owl City and Moby songs in a row for some reason. Apparently…

There is nothing wrong with basswood itself. Your particular Squier bass just doesn't have a particularly good example of said wood plus its electronics are not as good as the Fender.

Too bad there are no comparisons of user interfaces and usability, because that's where Opera falls short, only managing to better IE and maybe Safari without plugins. I'd really like to love Opera, but it is a browser that has a great rendering engine and way too much legacy crap and poor usability for UI.

I have the same experiences. It has even more trouble when I try to call contacts with Finnish names, usual end up getting just some random number. Even with improved speech recognition, I wouldn't be surprised if languages other than English don't perform that well. The phone already has more problems with…

I don't think so. Employers have no reason to be able to access deleted data or anything else that the user doesn't share. Advertisers may have a bit more info available based on previous status updates and whatnot but they still can't read that you ran naked thru a Walmart last year or something.
