Comment How? (Score 1) 24

Is it too much to ask ânews for nerdsâ(TM) to explain how this works? This hasnâ(TM)t existed til now because Apple has not provided APIs to access messages via iCloud or Bluetooth. Does this mean Apple now allows anyone to do this? Just select partners? Why is there no image/media support? Does this mean my garmin watch will soon be able to reply to messages? How does this compare to the tech Intel was advertising?

last paragraph of TFA: "Funds will go to the correct address in one week or something, it's bad but can be solved easily," Di Michele he said to CNET. "Funds will be recovered with another upgrade that will adjust chain state. PoS chans are not like Bitcoin, they are governance powered. If governance says something, even state changes can happen."

Comment Multiple Workspaces? (Score 1) 478

The 3D flip eye-candy might be helpful for switching through 5 apps, but what windows user only has 5 apps running at one time?
Why has there been no motivation from the windows world to implement some sort of workspace switching that is present in nearly every linux desktop?

Yes, MS released a PowerToy add-on for XP that attempted to do proved multiple desktops, but it was slow and quirky - it was an afterthought, not designed into the OS (or window manager...)

Now that alternative shells for XP are fairly stable, I use bbLean at work, and I am about 90% satisfied with its implementation of workspaces. How long will it take for alternative shells to come out for Vista to fix all of the dumb eye-candy and make it useable?
