I think he had a lot to do with the old UI so i admit some of his args sound a bit like "X isn't my party, so i'm going to slag it off". How do you change folder icons? this would help me no end. Do check out his other articals though, there's a great one about how the M$ UI gets...

we're heading off the thread but... Think 'conservative idiot' is a bit strong, have you read any of his other Mac related articals? he does make some good points regarding usability. which args do you think childish?

Good link, makes for interesting reading. I avoid using Windows where possible but there are a few things Apple could do to make co-existance (or Switching) easier. Have a Start bar I hate it but it's the 1st thing my windows mates look for when using my mac Let me resize windows from...

totally agree, i like 'playing' (browsing, iTunes etc) in aqua but i prefer working with platinum cos it's just there and i can get on and do what i do. Checkout http://www.asktog.com/columns/044top10docksucks.html Apple should get this guy back.

born in '65 2-3 Mac years... How come it only seems like yesterday that I saw my 1st happy mac but I feel like I've been a Mac user forever? I am always amazed when I find out someones real age online, some of you have experience beyond your years and other's like me are still wet behind...

Clamshell iBook, it looks like no other laptop (it has been said that it resembles a toilet seat though). The screen was brilliant, lovely keyboard and it had a handle. Now if it had a higher ram ceiling (say a 512Mb), 2x USB ports and it could support an external monitor (1024x768 would...

See if you find a copy of "The worst album in the world" by The Shirehorses, it's got a spoof of that track on it. Starts with the countdown and then... "Ground beef whiskers for ginger tom" Been a while since I heard it but I think they released the track as Bill Odity - Allinin Sane...

Got the same problem, also noticed that there is a 5sec delay if I try and move the iPhoto window? Window buttons look odd in iCal too, not as bad as iPhoto (they don't look right when app in background either?). I would have thought that the drawing of the buttons was a system function...
