As a mac user, I disagree with this. Apple added in a quick search feature into osx not so long ago, and I use it all the time. There's a big difference between typing a precise command into a terminal, and simply typing a few letters from an app name and hitting return as soon as you see the icon pop up. Apple has always been ahead of the game on search. You can search from basically any file browser, including when you're opening a file. Unity has its problems, but I suspect that as time goes on you'll learn to love this feature.

Having lived with the openmoko as my only phone for nearly three years I can safely say the novelty of a community developed ui with barely functioning code for basic tasks wears off quickly. SHR was terrible to live with along with every other distribution

This seems to rely on the fact that the user would have a working mail transfer agent setup on their system. This is a rarity, however. I happen to have mailx configured with sendmail to use an SMTP smart host, however most people probably do not.

The 3rd version of the kindle natively interprets the PDF format and displays it exactly as it is supposed to be for both raster and vector content. The problem is the PDF as a whole is rendered typically to be 8.5x11 while the kindle is a 6ish inch display. So in order to read any individual part you have to zoom in on that subsection. It's kind of annoying but in my opinion the trade-off for an extremely readable display is worth the occasional annoyance. I currently have bought Brendan Gregg's Dtrace book for the kindle and it's extremely readable. When an author is willing to put the time and effort forth to produce a kindle capable document, it works (and it works for all types of books, including textbooks).

KDE 4.5 Released 302
An anonymous reader writes "KDE 4.5.0 has been released to the world. See the release announcement for details. Highlights include a Webkit browser rendering option for Konqueror, a new caching mechanism for a faster experience and a re-worked notification system. Another new feature is Perl bindings, in addition to Python, Ruby and JavaScript support. The Phonon multimedia library now integrates with PulseAudio. See this interview with KDE developer and spokesperson Sebastian Kugler on how KDE can continue to be innovative in the KDE4 age. Packages should be available for most Linux distributions in the coming days. More than 16000 bug fixes were committed since 4.4."
