Had no idea Perian development ended, but the reasons are pretty good.

For desktop use the higher res display won't make much of a difference in performance. Adobe crapware will probably look off because it runs on Adobe Air and doesn't scale properly on any platform. Chrome will have the same issue unless the last few versions have changed something or the Mac version is somehow more…

If you order their chinos, never choose the low waist option. Made that mistake and got some pretty unwearably low pants. Otherwise the fit and material was good.

It would be nice if Giz looked into the rest of the Creative Suite. Photoshop has always been Adobe's crown jewel and usually the one that gets the best features, has the least offensive UI and least buggy madness.

This is pretty nice actually. Very good for just trying to find something based on images.

The fact that it lacks tons of features the desktop client has makes it crap. Also the iPhone version was not updated, it still has a rubbish UI with downright confusing icons, shuffle switch hidden deep, tendency to take forever to get back online if your connection cuts out in a subway for example, no related…

If it doesn't have Eye of the Tiger on it, it's not worth shit.

And still no support for related artists at least on the iPhone version. The iPhone UI is still the same piece of crap too.

IE9 is basically good enough for the average user at this point, but like you said there is nothing in it that makes it better for anything compared to Chrome or Firefox. So even for the grandma I'd still rather put a better browser on.

Agreed. Sure it must be more common than 1152x864?

A system that allows easy faking of sender, spamming millions of people and is just a huge mess of terrible implementations (and specs) is broken. That said, so are the users. I agree with your points and I wish people used email more like actual letters - you wouldn't write a letter without considering what you're…

I use Google Reader only on Windows and in its own window via Chrome's application shortcuts. It opens those truncated articles in a new tab in the main Chrome window so for me it's not a problem.

For movies and TV shows:

The disturbing thing about this is that it can put tools in hands of people who have absolutely no eye for design. Just look at what happened with MySpace and extensive customization. In the best case iOS app developers get an easy tool to make quick UIs for basic stuff. In the worst case the App Store is flooded with…

You can plug in a bluetooth keyboard in most tablets and I think there was a jailbreak mouse application for iOS at least. :D

You can program your own software for iOS and Android without putting them in the marketplace or app store. The only real flaw with app stores is that finding stuff at the moment is really awkward because there's so much shit software available with no demo/trial versions to help weed out the crap stuff.

Shining shoes is not messy at all if you know what you're doing.

I also haven't used an antivirus software since Vista. For XP sure because it's a leaking boat of shit but Win7 and Vista are inherently more secure to begin with. Common sense and computer knowledge goes a long way in keeping your computer safe. For the average user I'd also install Microsoft Security Essentials…

Keyboard shortcuts for one are much more consistent between programs and also placed better in general. Overall there is this consistency in programs (excluding Adobe and MS Office) that makes OSX nice to use. You can usually expect to find things in the same places, behind the same shortcuts and function the same way…

Isn't Windows more like something you tolerate rather than truly love ? Mostly because it happens to run your favorite program(s). OSX is far from perfect (Finder is a piece of shit for one) but it's still a lot more intuitive and definitely easier to use and like than any version of Windows so far.
