It can be disabled quite easily. Go to System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy, and designate folders or disks that you don't want to get indexed. :D

Not present in my system.log.

Get yourself a Kensington input device and their MouseWorks software. That will allow you to set the tracking to supersonic speeds. I use the Mouse-in-a-Box Optical Pro (5 buttons and scroll-wheel) myself. And I have MouseWorks configured so that my cursor zooms from one corner of my screen...

Erm... it's got a metal appearance... image quality still sucks... So what's new in this release?
