Well, I actually meant to post this one: http://www.usabilitypost.com/archive/ but I guess that the one I just posted is fine too...!

I love reading http://www.usabilityblog.com/ , which contains real world examples from around the web, and proposes applicable solutions. Learned a few tricks there.

Maximized is being hidden (changed to double-click, which you have to guess somehow, or RTFM, which means the UI is not intuitive) and minimize is not removed either, they say it could be re-enabled through gconf/dconf. So, they did hide the stuff in the glove compartment, without taking into account that these buttons have existed for the last 15+ years. If you don't use blinkers, that's your problem, but don't remove mines, and moreover replace it with blank space!

Your car just got its blinkers controls removed, but don't worry, the feature is still there. It just got moved to the gloves compartment... Don't worry, people will figure this out, and it will be as easy as before!

Disabling javascript is an option integrated in the browser. Can be disabled per site. You can also disable plugin auto-loading, and load them on-click, as needed.

Of course, they didn't put that much effort into it, considering they didn't know if it was ever going to be approved by Apple. There was a fair risk that their work would go to waste. It will probably improve from now on, now that they breached the door open.

Each time I do PS3 firmware or game updates, it takes forever to download close to 200 MB; something like a FULL HOUR. So, if I download a full movie from those servers, I'm not going to be able to watch it before a few days?

Sony, upgrade your canadian server park!

I have voted twice in church basements, in Quebec City and Sherbrooke. But schools are indeed used more often.

BTW, if the practice would change to require us to write comments in English, I wouldn't mind at all, since I'm fluent in both.

But in my situation, since I'm given the choice, I write in whichever language feels right in that particular context.
