I...I'm sorry. This is why I can't have nice things, isn't it?

One nice things.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Bwhaha!

My launcher status on my Galaxy Tab is confusing me. Either my normal platform disappeared or the upgrade is so dramatic I am looking at it without recognition.

I think I was using ADW, but what's happened? My dock has vanished. The pages, especially when you're sliding from desktop to desktop, feel awkward, a bad use of real estate and animation. I need to rollback, but I can't even work out how. They need to hang a really big "YOU WILL HATE THIS" banner over the Market listing.

AIIIIIEEE. Not change. I didn't sign of for computers (or Obama, now that I think about it) for CHANGE.

1 nice thing(s).

Why could he not even have argued (s)? I know I'm an easy mark, but I'm stunned at some of the stuff people will choose to argue. He wasn't sure how much I knew about managing a software project, or anything about how an SDLC worked. If your project is such so that's a *fix* and not a condition of passing initial testing you clearly have a problem somewhere, but do you seriously not see a benefit to having a minimum level of "presentable" that includes grammar.

Pfft.

Anyway--so ADW Launcher, amongst other things, seems to have unsorted my app drawer, and I there's no useful logic left--it's in date installed order, which pretty much makes me feel like I'm being stalked by Launchpad, but both ideas are so simply flawed to me.

Do you really have to install a third party application in order to sort Launchpad? What happens when your first screen fills with you-installed programs? Does it put another tiny white dot over a section of your wallpaper that might very well be white itself, meaning you need to flip to the next wallpaper in your series to get more apps out of it?

I don't understand what the immediate benefit of this is, and most anything I can google is either telling you to install something else or run a command line delete of the data behind it. That's not very Maccy, is it? Something like this shouldn't put a novice user in that position to satisfy a simple requirement.

I know the Application folder is still accessible, but the Launchpad must have had a selling point, no?

I have not fiddled with Launchpad, but I can confirm that when the first page fills up you get the site dot telling you there's another page(s, depending)

And while I'm looking at Launchpad - these applications are clearly not in first installed order, but I have no idea what order they might be in. It seems to have no reason behind it.

OK, I feel dumb for not being able to understand this but Google is not helping me and probably someone here knows. My new Mac mini has a 1 TB Fusion Drive. If I look at it in Disk Utility, i'm told it has 1.12 TB Capacity, 1.13 GB Available, and 33.49 GB Used. How on earth does that work?

these applications are clearly not in first installed order, but I have no idea what order they might be in

That's interesting. I think by date of addition is as dumb as anything you can't choose, so it might as well be random. I do know for sure that the first row of mine is in added order, as are the last two rows. Kinda fuzzy on the rest.

A discussion I was reading on skeumorphism cited Paper on the iPad as the last good example of it, and while I have no idea how well it works, it is certainly absolutely gorgeous. Wow. I want something like that for...for anything. I have Artrage Studio on OS X, and I thought that was a stunning example, but it pales in comparison to Paper.
