can't you move the top bar to the side?
like said before scrolling with space bar is now a PITA and most of us have widescreen displays, i don't need 700+ pixels width full of text, it would be better IMHO to move the bar to the right...

Submission + - Haiku Project released Alpha 2
drkamil writes: The BeOs-inspired Haiku Project announced on sunday the release of Haiku R1 Alpha 2, with over 300 fixed bugs.
From the main site:
The Haiku Project is proud to announce the availability of Haiku R1A2, its second official alpha release. Haiku is an open source operating system that specifically targets personal computing intended for desktop use. Alpha 2 is a stable development release and a milestone on the way to the upcoming Release 1.
After testing the first Alpha i was surprised by the concepts and very pleased about the "haiku experience", possibly because i never had a chance to try BeOs.
I hope the team keeps its good work up so i can use Haiku as my main OS one day, it's unbelievable fast.

Submission + - 86% of Windows 7 PCs Maxing Out Memory (computerworld.com) 2
CWmike writes: Citing data from Devil Mountain Software's community-based Exo.performance.network (XPnet), Craig Barth, the company's chief technology officer, said that new metrics reveal an unsettling trend. On average, 86% of Windows 7 machines in the XPnet pool are regularly consuming 90%-95% of their available RAM, resulting in slow-downs as the systems were forced to increasingly turn to disk-based virtual memory to handle tasks. The 86% mark for Windows 7 is more than twice the average number of Windows XP machines that run at the memory 'saturation' point, and this comes despite more RAM being available on most Windows 7 machines. 'This is alarming,' Barth said of Windows 7 machines' resource consumption. 'For the OS to be pushing the hardware limits this quickly is amazing. Windows 7 is not the lean, mean version of Vista that you may think it is.'
Submission + - Amazon lets publishers disable books on Iphone
jsmusgrave writes: In March 2009 I purchased The Pragmatic Programmer from the Amazon Kindle store. Recently, I found I was no longer able to read it. In a discussion with Amazon support I was told that the publisher decided it shouldn't be read on the Iphone so it has been disabled. They told me I could read it on Windows or on a Kindle, neither of which I currently use. They gave me a full refund, but this makes me wonder, will Amazon allow publishers to disable books on your Kindle 1 or 2 when the kindle 3 becomes available? Do you really "own" an e-book if publishers are allowed to change the rules of the game after you've had the book for some time?
