I just don't get excited about apple products.

I must be dumb.

It's because you have a small penis.

I'm still trying to figure out the purpose of virtual desktops...

8/8/2006 7:37:03 AM

its to group common applications together instead of have all your open applications on a single desktop.

well yeah I know what it's supposed to do from a theoretical perspective, but -- why?

I routinely have 10-15 applications open at once. I either Cmd-Tab through them, or use Exposé to find the window I want. Both seem to be just as time-consuming as moving around different desktop windows (this is not to knock virtual desktops on Linux, since I actually use those b/c I don't know Linux very well )

Now give me a completely different desktop itself, with different files on the screen, a different Dock, etc -- then I'd have a reason to use it. But virtual desktops just seem inefficient.

8/8/2006 3:41:45 PM

but if you hit minimize all, the windows are still down in the bottom, titles still visible

8/8/2006 4:13:02 PM

8/8/2006 4:22:50 PM

Beta software for OSX that is pretty darn similar to Spaces. Works okay.

The part where they bash MS is pretty funny... you can see it at about 26 minutes (you can just jump right to there): http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/aug_2006/event/index.html

The Time Machine demo is at 36 minutes, it's a good watch too.

The iPhoto crash is at 40 minutes. Not as amusing as MS's mess-ups though.
