So my brain adapted fine to the new trackpad scrolling paradigm in OS X Lion.
Just one quibble: Now I keep on scrolling the wrong way while using the mouse's scroll wheel on my work computer. It's an XP machine with a Microsoft USB Intellimouse and there's no way to reverse the scroll wheel direction.
(Yeah, we're still on XP. Vista was out when we bought these computers, but our hardware consultants refused to support Vista so we got the computers with XP.)
I guess I'm SOL unless I want to do some hardware hacking.

It's funny because the robot wins by cheating.
Which is not inconsistant with a robot revolution.
I still had debugging on when I went to Facebook and noticed this

Google Chrome Browser, Google Drive Coming to iOS [Now Available]
Google announced today that it is releasing a version of its Google Chrome for the iPhone and iPad. The company says it will go live on the App Store later today. Macquarie analyst Ben Schacter predicted last month that Google Chrome was coming to iOS.
One issue:
The biggest hurdle that Chrome features, of course, is that it cannot be set to be the default browser on iOS devices, a capability that Apple also reserves for Safari. So, while you can use the browser to your heart’s content, it will not be the default handler for any URLs clicked. That’s a huge hurdle to overcome.
I shall try it out and report back.
eta: kinda hard to edit this text box as the keyboard makes the text box small. Ok it's better in portrait mode.
eta: Can't hide the URL box either. May be a deal- breaker.
Is there Dolphin for iOS? I've been using Opera the whole time, but since my Touch isn't my primary anything-but-music-player the issue of clicking on URLs doesn't come up much for me.
Yes there is, and it's free. I haven't tried it out. So many browsers.
Dolphin was great on the Android, from before Opera got its act together. I can't remember exactly what prompted me to drift away, but now that I have all my Opera browsers sharing bookmarks, I rarely use anything else.
Hey! If any of you guys don't read BBABB++, I need some stylesheet debugging help. Does

to you? If so, can you drill down in firebug or equivalent and tell me where the monospaced attribute is getting overridden--or hell, if it's never getting applied at all?
Also, why do all the FTP applications on my Mac end up being so useless I'm using command line? Filezilla was going great! But if I try and copy over the HTML folder here, it hangs mid-file. Command line grabs everything beautifully. I'm pretty sure I've gone through CuteFTP, Transmit, and something with a fish. Oh, and the Cyberduck. And they all bailed on me in the end. Or, maybe I refused to buy Transmit. But either they're not refreshing local NAS folders, or they're hanging or causing something else to crash.
I can't work out why FTP is my nemesis, especially since the evils of Windows integration mean I'm just dragging and dropping in the damned OS here. Come on!
I do not like Finder that much--does the upgrade improve it? I mean, when I set shortcut buttons, they're not visible when OS X pops a file dialogue, so I'm back to navigating all the way down the chain again. And other stuff I can't remember now that I'm not at my Mac.
What text/code editor do you guys recommend for Windows and OS X? I have a paid copy of UltraEdit on my home Windows machine, but I'm a number of releases behind. At work, I have Notepad++ which is just about tolerable--key feature I require is fancy search and replace. But being able to open and save files through FTP would be marvellous. Never mind the ne plus ultra of syntax highlighting and all that jazz. Smultron is almost meeting my requirements for OS X, but not quite. The save-to-disk, FTP-to-website, replace-previous-version dance is getting old.
