Specs are probably fine for any other use case than high end games and very complex Java apps.

Seriously; they're a tiny new company. Developing your first device takes longer and they don't have access to the same massive bulk order component discounts as behemoth players in the market.

Or - you select the brush you want, hold down SHIFT, click where you want the line to start and where you want it to end.

I'm told Photoshop have a similar method.

Heh; I seem to recall a marketing announcement of the Merced that was practically a copy of an earlier announcement for the i860.

This is not good, I'd like to see a more diverse market rather than one supremely dominant player.

They are not terrible. They are run of the mill action flicks made after the same safe recipe that Hollywood uses for any movie these days, no worse and no better.

The original movies are in a league of their own.

Genius. I wonder if VMWare Player can be configured to do this...

Somebody mentioned disabling iCloud sync of docs and settings as an effective workaround. Might work for you.

Well, silly mine-is-better-than-yours wars aside in these threads - Android really badly needed project Butter. Everybody from fandroids to Google admitted this and I think the project managed to achieve it's goal quite well.

Perhaps you don't like these newfangled smartphones from brands such as Apple, HTC, Motorola or Samsung (they're all roughly similar anyway) but that hardly makes people sheep for seeing some value in them.

Well, all those gyrating widgets straining for attention are just a nerd fest anyway ;)

Hmm, I signed up when I first noticed it, can't remember why or when. The Internet was all exciting then and full of gyrating "under construction" GIFs.

Steve Jobs' talent was that he understood computers should be easy for everybody to use, in a time where they were technically intricate wonders for the initiated circle. He understood what people needed.

Problem is they're constantly redoing everything so it never get the time to mature.

Ten years ago in SuSE I could install my 3rd party TrueType fonts by clicking on the file and follow the KDE font viewers directions. Yesterday on Ubuntu I had to google how and use the command line for installing my extra (no, not the Microsoft) fonts.

I installed Cryptkeeper from the Ubuntu repository but Ubuntu doesn't allow the GUI to show up in the panel (according to a Google search, when it didn't work).

Three times today, while working in Gimp, I got a "Compiz has crashed, wanna send report?" message.

I'm not complaining, I know how to deal with all this. I guess what I'm saying is that the currently "best known" Desktop distribution is just not a mature GUI environment.

I remember in particular a time when all sites had "under construction" animated GIFs.

Even a few percent would save Google terabytes a day. That's why improvements to compression and protocols that seem quite insignificant to the end user are very popular at the host.
