My experiences with Snow Leopard vs Lion
Dropped:
- 2D array of spaces, replaced with 1D. Like remembering exactly how many screens away your work is when using multiple screens?
- Tiling all windows in one screen so you can easily pick out the app window you want to access, replaced with ability to see all windows of one app at a time. Like working with only one app?
- Ability to easily reorganise windows with one guesture, then a single click per window, replaced with a three step process per window. Say I have 10 windows I want to move, first move to the screen with the app window I want to move, then open mission control, then drag the app window to the screen you want it in.
Seriously, why Apple?

The world is immeasurably better because of Steve. His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts.

The appeal dismissed today had the potential to impact internet users and the internet industry profoundly as it sets a legal precedent surrounding how much ISPs are required to do to prevent customers from downloading movies and other content illegally."

They're stealing potential profit! It's almost as bad as competition between businesses, or a consumer informing other consumers about a bad company/poorly made product. In all three cases, potential profit is being stolen.
We must stop these people from hurting our businesses. Also, this clearly wouldn't have happened if there had been super powerful DRM installed with the game!
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the business which is going to be suffering the most impact from this leak Bungie? AFAIK Bungie isn't doing anything more than running their own business, not hurting others.

+1 to your line of argument.
My 2c: it depends on your definition of "egg". The way I'd put it the egg as in anything that could be defined as an egg in the biological sense predated the chicken by hundreds of millions of years. The first egg would have dated from around the time of the first life defined as animal. The egg came before the chicken.
On the other hand: an egg as in a chicken egg, ie. something produced by a chicken would have to be produced by the first chicken which had evolved from something that is not quite a chicken. The chicken egg came after the chicken.
