One man's "stupid gimmicks" is another man's graceful and easy-to-use system.
I know the above sounds snarky, but I worked on Mac OS Classic for years, and was a linux user at home for years as well. I was *very* put off at first by OS X's eye candy and general fooferah. And then I actually used it ( 8 hours a day at work ), and realized it was fantastic. I ditched my Slackware running thinkpad for a powerbook, and never looked back.
Submission + - General Motors: Driverless cars ready by 2018
Gregor Stipicic writes: " Cars that drive themselves — even parking at their destination — could be ready for sale within a decade, General Motors Corp. executives say.
"This is not science fiction," Larry Burns, GM's vice president for research and development, said in a recent interview.
GM plans to use an inexpensive computer chip and an antenna to link vehicles equipped with driverless technologies. The first use likely would be on highways; people would have the option to choose a driverless mode while they still would control the vehicle on local streets, Burns said.
He said the company plans to test driverless car technology by 2015 and have cars on the road around 2018.
