Agreed. I'd rather spend a few hours setting up all the programs so I know they're clean rather than hauling around all the crap that was in the machine before.

The problem is that many people don't seem to be aware that you can get your suit tailored.

The width of the lapel should be in proportion with your head size and body type. A narrow lapel is generally only suited for people who are very skinny whereas they would look ridiculous on someone who has a wider body.

I'm guessing nobody sells a discrete GPU for that.

It takes some time to work out your real sizing. Most people wear too big suits. Since few of us are the equivalent of the ideal size they use to make off the rack suits, most of us should take every suit to a tailor to get the best fit. The only thing that must fit from the start is the shoulders, most everything…

Those cheap shoes may be comfortable, may even last a good time. However, I can't think of any cheap shoe that looks great too. You really have to go over $200 to get properly good looking ones and even more if you want high quality stuff too.

Nope, it just means you're wearing ugly shoes. Square toes or too pointy shoes always look like crap. There's lots of range in between where shoes look the most elegant.

Just thought to point out that those on Windows can enable smooth scrolling for the mouse in chrome://flags . Unfortunately it's still not available on OSX.

NCSettings for easy toggling of flashlight, WLAN, Bluetooth etc from the notification bar. Nitrous to make all apps have the same 2x faster Javascript engine Safari uses. The ability to change which programs are opened by default.

Everyone else would have to stop using email. I'm all for getting rid of it. While I'm not against the concept, the execution is just terrible with the way addresses can be easily faked and spam runs rampant. It's a nightmare as a protocol and most email clients are pretty terrible.

I can't tell any audible difference between the two I have (an all-analog Cambridge Audio and a more modern Denon) so I'd pick based on features and user interface. Denon has been generally pretty crappy in the former, there's even a Denon-to-English manual on the 'net. In my experience Harman Kardon is equally bad.…

Sketch (OSX only) is actually a really nice vector software. It's far more sensible to use than Illustrator yet offers many of the same options. Sure, Illustrator's got some special tools but it's basic vector drawing tools are just plain horrible and even more so after using Sketch.…

IE9 still lacks support for many technologies that have been standard in Firefox and Chrome for many versions. Things like the file API etc.

No, the "legacy shit" I was talking about was how Win XP/95 era UI keeps creeping up from some tools and how some things (like Computer Management or the advanced Windows Firewall controls) are truly awful user interfaces that don't fit the overall UI in any way. Likewise really old icons are still here and there.

Exactly, it will be Win 8.5. Similar to how Mac OSX 10.8 is really just a refined 10.7. MS can sell it for cheap and provide incremental updates that will make the OS better to use without taking 3 years for all that to happen.

I'm guessing it's mostly because 3G/4G have better call quality and they've deemed the battery life hit isn't that huge.

Agreed. I really like the 27" iMac I have at work but for home I really would like a much better graphics card. Of course they tend to put out a lot of heat so it might not be feasible even in the old iMac enclosure. That said, they could at least use one of the mid range desktop GPUs as those still trounce mobile…

I guess they wanted some sort of single password - multiple email accounts setup. However, I don't think that should require passwords being saved on a remote server. Not to mention it isn't really an e-mail app's job to keep your account passwords in line.

They look like they would be somewhat uncomfortable, sitting on top of your ears instead of surrounding them.

Lots of features already supported in Chrome, Safari and Firefox are not yet even official standards. While IE may implement the standards better than the competition, it will still lag behind in the features that, while not official standards yet, are implemented in other browsers well enough to be considered fully…
