Based on the comments it sounds a bit like Adobe once again added some nice features but only polished the UI without going into the fundamental problems it has. I'm sure by the time CS6 is released we can read from adobegripes.tumblr.com about all the utterly mad shit their programs do.

I've found tools like this unnecessary since WinXP. The default Win7 installation is good enough and doesn't require much tweaking.

The two Cars movies seem out of place in Pixar's repertoire. They were not technically brilliant and storytelling was rather mediocre, more on par with the drivel Dreamworks generally puts out.

The problem with most toasters seems to be that getting out slices that are smaller than the arbitrary size the manufacturer used is a real pain in the ass. Usually the mechanism just can't lift them high enough.

What bothers me is that both Apple and MS seem to be emphasing "single app full screen" behavior. This works great with a tablet and laptops (small screen and not that much desktop real estate regardless of resolution) but if I have a 2560x1600 30" display in front of me I sure as hell don't want to fill it with a…

With Chrome I love that feature. It means if I find a cool addon when I'm at work I can install it on my work computer and have it at home too. If I reinstall an OS I can easily sync my addons instead of trying to remember what they were.

Not to mention by opening the back panel of a MBP you can replace quite a few other parts too.

I normally use a bumper. When I was in the army I used a case for extra protection.

They should start by listening to their customers. There's been a thread asking for the related artists feature for the mobile app for a few years now and have they done anything about it? No. Same goes for many other things.

I'm still on a heavily overclocked Core2Quad and it handles modern games just fine and is fast enough for video encoding, 3D rendering etc tasks. When it finally dies I wouldn't be surprised if I'd want to get an all-in-one iMac or a laptop to replace it.

Seems like this thing is made to contour to someone who has a beer belly.

You can make tons of meals by spending about 30 minutes cooking, most of it just cutting vegetables. I don't see how that is such a huge chore that you'd rather eat prepackaged rubbish over something that tastes so much better.

Awful. The whole Metro UI works very poorly with just a mouse, especially on high res displays. The new start screen is accessed in a way that goes against how the rest of the taskbar works (you can't click the little window that pops up when you move your mouse in the corner, instead you have about a 20x20 pixel…

Maybe the problem has to do more with signing artists who don't have the skills to pull it off in the vocal booth or who are not competent enough on their instruments. There are most likely many flavor of the day artists who sound like that recording scene from Boogie Nights and then they chop and autotune the shit…

For PHP frameworks I'd add in CodeIgniter. It's easy to learn, fast, has fairly good documentation and lots of resources on the 'net. I highly recommend using a framework, even for simple sites. It's so much easier to add more complex functionality and maintain the site.

Personally I lump Dreamweaver in to the rest of Adobe's crapware. Bloated, poorly designed.

Get a pair or two of good leather shoes. Check out eBay for used ones, they are often as good as new as good leather shoes tend to last for decades. Also be on the lookout for shoes marked as seconds. They may have some totally inperceptible flaw that won't matter one bit but the price is cheaper.

I imagine the Metro Start menu will be as big a disaster as OSX's Launchpad when you have a very high res display. I have a 30" 2560x1600 res screen in front of me and in OSX using Launchpad is really awkward because a limited number of apps takes all the space on the screen so their spacing is really terrible and…

I'd gladly ditch email for another system. It's a crap protocol and system in every way really.

Somehow I feel I would not be impressed. Adobe has a track record of bad user interface design and sloppy attention to detail all across every one of their products.
