Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Hey. New board.

Why do they bother you so?
I just find scrolling a tab bar left and right to find other tabs to be very inefficient compared to a pop-up screen that lets you visually swipe through them. The dolphin tab bar only holds 2 or 3 tabs at one time without scrolling.

Xscope doesn't let you select text, so I'm back to Opera.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You know, using those browsers on Honeycomb, on a tablet? Whole different experience. They can't have been tablet optimised this whole time, can they?

Hey. New board.

I don't think so. I imagine Dolphin is great on a tablet. Someday, maybe, though probably not: my new job is giving me a traditional tablet PC (running full Windows, not a more modern slate) as the students use them in class.

Trust my rage

I just upgraded to Lion and now when I try to do the 2 finger scroll, I have to move my fingers down to move the screen up, if that makes any sense. I think they reversed it. Am I crazy? Is there a way to switch it back. Because down should be down.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I think they reversed it.

Yes, they did.

Am I crazy?

Please consult a qualified medical professional.

Is there a way to switch it back.

Yes, in the Mouse preference pane.

Because down should be down.

Down is down. You swipe down, and the content in the window moves down.

Trust my rage

All is now right with the world. Down is, once again, down.

Thank you, Tom.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Am I crazy?

Please consult a qualified medical professional.

Perhaps we need a Buffistapsychology thread.

Or maybe Bitches and Natter suffice.

Make sure to uncheck the boxes that say "IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH" and "FREEDOM IS SLAVERY" in the preference pane, too.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Some tech writers believe you should go with the new prefs for about a week and if you still hate it, then change the pref pane.
