@bowei437: Sorry to ruin your fantasy but an Apple-branded computer is still a personal computer (PC). It's not even a different processor architecture anymore, in fact.

@slc: The faster processors chew through battery life and the low-power ones are more than adequate for most conventional tasks. They'll keep getting better, but for a portable device, battery life generally trumps all.

@lightmanx5: If you mean the technical process, unapproved commenters have their comments show up in red if you have a star with a button to approve it alongside. Replying to the comment also approves it.

@lightmanx5: Considering how awesome LH usually is, I don't know. Probably lurkers, like me before I started.

@(Starman), The MIDI Man: The ones that go to Jezebel seem to be the worst. Anything that crosslinks from Jezebel gets filled with flaming and trolling, for some reason.

@(Starman), The MIDI Man: What baffles me is how some of the crossposts send you to the correct site when you click, but others fail to do it. It's the latter that ends up a confusing usability nightmare full of "what happened to my comment?" posts.

You can do this but you probably don't want to. One of the biggest benefits of ext4 is extents, which you won't be able to use if you mount an ext2/3 partition as ext4. If you really want ext4, reformat for it.

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.1.1: Differences in OS behaviour won't matter to somebody that's not familiar with using OS X but happens to like the look of it. That seems to be the primary target for this sort of thing. I'm not that fond of the OS X UI, so it's not for me, but I've known people that really like the design…

@mdr5163: That's a feature of X.org, called compositing, that has been available since 2004. If a window manager (the program that controls window placement, titlebars, etc.) supports compositing it can be used for transparency and other things, usually eye-candy but sometimes functional features like screen…

@SparklyJesus: That's because it's a lifehacker post and those people haven't been posting on LH.

@masterofTHUMBS: I'm aware of that ;)

@ModernBawhair: Well said. I don't care much for the look, but obviously some people do, and it's rarely a bad thing to have more freedom to do what you like with a system.

@_Ko0LaiD_: You don't have to, I mentioned the relevant part already.

@cinnamonster: It's a lifehacker post and Arken isn't starred on LH, that's why.

@_Ko0LaiD_: No, it looks like Debian. Probably because it says "Debian GNU/Linux 5.0" in the conky (or something similar to conky) window. ;)

@TheNimboo: Note that the author is listed as a Lifehacker contributor on lifehacker.com, and also that comment timestamps link back to lifehacker.com/comment/[number].

Or does Apple think their users are imbeciles who are going to wake up one day and forget about the feature that made them buy Camera+ in the first place? Does Apple think that their customers can't handle customization of their device?

@nczuma: I can't remember what version of AR I tried, but it wasn't as comfortable to me, possibly because I tried an older version or just because of how it ran in wine.

@SolidSquid: Yeah, that's what I meant, actually. Hiding the UI in Gimp never works well for me because I always end up needing just one thing and have to turn it all back on. With mypaint I usually just keep the brushes visible and hide everything else, which makes the whole thing very comfortable to me. :D

@SolidSquid: The brush tweaking is rather arcane, isn't it? Luckily I've barely used it, except to make very minor adjustments to a few of the brushes from the extremely extensive default sets. I piled a bunch of brushes I like into the "favorites" category and then added a couple tweaked ones.
