  1. Thanks for your thoughts but next time leave out the condescending/patronising Apple fanboy attitude. No need for the likes of "Erm, no." - I'll have a play around with expose and spaces, perhaps they'll be godsends, but I don't see how they're any easier to use than what's on Windows. They just look pretty and amount to more clicks. We'll see though. It is because it's not originally built into OS X. You shouldn't have to rely on a 3rd party app. And Windows users let you click on the whole top bar to maximise, another case of usability being better than the equivalent on OS X. ________ FREE VAPORIZER
  2. Indeed it is like what the taskbar has become in Windows 7, but the taskbar can still be switched back to the original style, which IMO is far more useful. Expose is quite handy if you have a lot of windows of the same app open, fair enough. You're wrong however when you say that you can't do drag and drop on Windows. You've been able to do that for years, Snow Leopard copied that feature FROM Windows. Drag a file from Explorer to the program in the taskbar, it'll open up and you can use it in the newly active window. Exactly the kind of thing Schiller and other Apple reps have been wankily branding as a 'new great feature'. The lack of maximise is subjective, and people prefer different things. I like being able to double click on the whole top of a window in Windows, and have it fill the screen. I don't want to have to either spend time dragging it to the corner of the screen, or locate this tiny green button in the corner of an OS X window just to have the OS decide how big it should be. Thankfully I read about a little 10kb app that turns the green button into a 'maximise' button, so that's one of the first things I'll be installing. Yes some people might think that having lots of smaller windows improves productivity, but you can do that on Windows as well, just with the added benefit of also allowing users to maximise. Far superior to OS X in that respect. As I said, I'm very impressed with lots that OS X offers, I'm just not at all convinced that workflow and window management is better on Mac. ________ Mazda e platform history
  3. I just recently ordered a new 13" MacBook Pro (with a 2 week delivery wait boooo), and am looking forward to it as it will be my first mac. Most things about OS X I find appealing but am very worried about workflow and usability. Things like not having a 'maximise window' button for instance. Also, nothing can better the windows taskbar in terms of getting quick access to programs. Yes Expose is nice, but it's a bit over the top, when a simple click of the mouse will do in Windows. Still, hopefully it won't be too bad. Everything else I'm looking forward to. ________ Og Kush Marijuana
  4. 13" MacBook Pro. My first ever Mac 4GB RAM + 500GB hard drive
  5. I'd forgotten the second rubbish challenge. Probably because I wanted it burried in my subconscious FOREVER. Horrible, infuriating level. ________ Cb900C
  6. Does Super Paper Mario count as underrated? Fantastic game ________ SRX440
  7. Totally. It's one of those situations where once you figure out how to do it, it becomes easy. The infuriating part was GETTING to that point! ________ Hash Honey Oil
  8. So to you, black people aren't normal? It's all semantics anyway. Everyone reads it differently.
  9. Yeah Id agree with that. I loved Isle Delfino and Sunshine in general. There was certainly much more to do there than the Hub in Galaxy. Maybe they'll include a more interactive hub in Galaxy 2. Can't argue with the masses about spring mario, nifty idea but the implementation was ropey. Mind you if you're curled up in a giant spring I can't imagine it would be easy to move around in! Loved bee mario and the fire/ice suits. Red star suit thingy was fun too but it didn't have the difficulty/grace of the feather cap from 64. Speaking of 64, it'd be good to see the metal cap again. Btw, back to Galaxy for a second... did anyone else die a little inside at every attempt of the 'collect 100 purple coins' challenge in the toy galaxy.. the big Luigi figure with the disintegrating and rotating floor? ________ Comfort
  10. I'd agree with that. People often confuse majority with normality. But a person's sexuality should feel normal to them and that's the bottom line really. It's a subjective thing. People who have problems with another person's sexuality are often the ones with doubts about their own.
  11. We shall see. Still, it's going to be a looong agonising wait. I don't get a stiffy like some people do at the thought of Yoshi in the game though, it's a bit meh. He was cool in Mario world, but seems far more suited to 2D I think. ________ Vapor genie vaporizer
  12. Fantastic game. I'd love to see a remake of this and Ocarina with updated Wii visuals. Won't happen of course, but it'd be cool. ________ Subaru Sumo
  13. Nice! But Apple are bringing out new iPods next week. They update their entire line every September
  14. Fantastic pics Daft thanks for putting them up. Hey I used to live in SW6 too!, good times ________ Herbalaire vaporizer
  15. Fair enough, but when you've got a game that's as good as the original was, an extra 100+ levels ain't too shabby ________ HONDA CL350
  16. I think it's pretty obvious Galaxy 2 will have orchestrated. They wouldn't dare go back to MIDI after the success Galaxy 1's music. Something I still believe to be one of the finest game soundtracks around. ________ BOULEVARD C109R
  17. Previous day was alright, now having trouble sleeping so thought I'd have a browse and found this forum. Eating cheese might not be the best of ideas before bed though. If only I hadn't run out of cider...

    Windows 7

    Am I the only one who finds the Vista/7 UI design horrible? Looks seriously tackly and the UI itself seems to be getting more and more cluttered. I'll stick with XP I think, love it. ________ CHRYSLER ROYAL HISTORY
  19. Hi all, first post! Registered because of this game! I seriously can't wait for this! I was looking online to see if any new info or vids had been released but it seems not. Seems pretty similar to the original, but then in my opinion Galaxy 1 is one of the finest games ever made, a total joy to play so am totally excited to get another 100 or so levels! PS: any idea where that theme above came from? Official? Doesn't sound orchestrated at all, like Galaxy 1's music was....? edit: reading the youtube, it's not official, do'h! ________ VOLCANO DIGITAL VAPORIZER
