Comment Re:One of the best things about Chrome ... (Score 1) 182

No the the installation of Chrome in the %user% folder is an an absolute pain. I'm sure the only reason google did this is to make it easy to install, but that doesn't make it the best place. Programs go in program files/system directories, NOT in userdata. I also hate the fact it doesn't just "update", it creates an entirely new directory everytime for that particular version, so you end up with loads of redundant folders.
 
No other major app does this, why can google get away with it?

London has the Dockland's Light Railway that has no drivers.

That's not entirely true though. Yes they don't have drivers per se, but they still have a trained staff member on board at all times, to manually control the train in the event of an emergency and to generally control when the train leaves and departs, - especially during peak hours, when the network is busy.

Minor correction, the throttling actually lasts 5 hours 10am-3pm and 4pm to 9pm for downloads, although the upload is 3pm - 8pm, so there is an overlap. But still it is a pain. The daytime cap is not too bad, but the 1.5GB during the evening is so easy to go over, I often get throttled back to 2.5Mb.

Except in the case of cars with limits at 155mph, it's more down to the fact that even though the car is capable of doing that, it's not necessarily safe to do so in its current setup.

They put a cap of 155mph to keep costs down, as otherwise the whole car would need to be tested more thoroughly at those higher speeds, and would need better tyres etc.

Perhaps, but I'd rather have a choice, and don't want to be an Apple sheep with Steve making it for me.

Besides you said it yourself, nothing has been designed for touch input, that doesn't mean it won't be and considering this is the first release ever, I'll forgive them if it's not completely perfect.
