I'm not having issues with my eyes at all, but the reduced contrast in the tab bar, icons in the bookmarks sidebar, the overly used padding in menus is a UI nightmare IMHO. Removing the three dots at the end of the URL I can understand, although -apparently- I was one of the few users who used it to take screenshots regularly, but putting another icon on the menu bar as a replacement is NOT an improvement UI wise. The three dots may not have been used by extension builders, but that may have something to do with not putting much emphasis on that?

I do like the focus on privacy & security issues, feature improvements, but I simply don't understand why they are so overly focussed on UI changes.

I really doubt if they asked their *current* user base if they are waiting for a large UI redesign it would get high on the backlog. As others have stated, Firefox was looking perfectly fine and adjustable for me. Their add-on directory is certainly one of the best and is my main reason I stick with FF.

But I can handle only so much. Eventually this really may drive me away. Edge is looking better with every release.

Thunderbird is one of the few open source multiplatform mail clients I really like. I would be more than willing to make a periodic financial contribution. I know there are more users who feel the same about Thunderbird.

The P50 will launch in November, the P70 in December.

The small Thinkpad P50 with a Xeon will launch in November 2015. The P70 in December. However I'm really curious if it has new crapware installed on it.

Yes, I totally agree that importing is rarely a problem. However LibreOffice fails in many aspects. our publishing house made the switch to LibreOffice early this year after basic testing.

For a simple example that Writer is not fit for businesses: it cannot properly handle even basic tasks such as working with templates. Without an add-on it is not possible to change the template. Yes that's right. Only documents that are created based on templates are coupled to that template. The available add-on (templatechanger ) to change this is only available for the latest version via a user that added it to a bug report (many thanks for that btw) and only works with Writer. For Calc changing templates is simply not

Another function that is sorely lacking as an editor has been in MS Office since version XP, around ~2001 I think. If you receive a document from a freelancer it often has the wrong styles in it or only a few. To change this quickly in MS Office you load the tempalte you want. Select the style that is wrong, click select all instances followed by a double click on the style you want. This way you can quickly fix documents.

I find the default colors of LO's panel dreadful. There are better colors available though, such as http://extensions.libreoffice.... Why are these not used or given as an option?

If you save a file on a NAS and select Tools/Share Document so more people can simultaneously work in it, often the formatting of the file changes randomly between saves. Old formatting often re-appears.

Calc cannot properly handle conditional formatting. This morning I created a Calc document with a cell that could have one of three colors based on the content of three other columns. I then copied the formatting to more cells in the column. After saving the document only the first cell formatting is kept, the formatting in the other column cells is lost.

For our publishing house LO mostly suffices, but there are many ways in which it has to improve for other business to even consider it.

Yep, this plus the fact that almost everyone uses the same (simple) passwords across multiple cloud services and the NSA have access to that as well. Who needs to crack encryption if you have the keys?

TomTom bought Tele Atlas. It's Nokia that bought Navteq.

For people that played these games it must be pretty sentimental. I didn't play these games, but the hours I spent playing Crystal Castle on my Atari 520ST are still very alive. Thanks to whoever wrote it and please consider open sourcing this game. It has been away way too long.
