Wow everybody serious on ycombinator. Can't even make a joke about Al Gore anymore.

Ajax started with Al Gore, without whom the internet would have never been invented :p

I tried Ubuntu 12.10 again briefly and was disappointed that intel HD4000 wasn't fully supported in 3D. Graphics is dog slow in Ubuntu on the same hardware.

It looks like shopping spies still on by default in 13.04. I doubt I'll ever use Ubuntu again on that principle alone. Even Apple doesn't force that on you in Spotlight. Still cannot move taskbar. Still cannot resize taskbar without 3D support.

These look like good moves. While Microsoft and Ubuntu are shunning their desktop users, Apple is making me look the smarter for choosing a company who still stands believes in a desktop OS :)

FYI, I was a decade long Windows user who switched to Mac then to Ubuntu then back to Mac after Unity.

Why did he color certain characters? It makes those chars standout which defeats the purpose of choosing a font for distinct shapes.

Just wondering how many people have actually installed Bing Desktop, Google Desktop or any other desktop search on Windows. Why does Ubuntu think their more discriminating user base need these SMART search features when the common John and Jane shunned it?

It's all about privacy and companies trying to get you to buy more things are the worst offenders of viruses and invasion of privacy on the web.

ty, never heard of that one

How do these CEOs make the noobest mistake? Know your customer base! JC Penney was never an upscale department store. Did he all of the sudden think it would become one with a stagnant economy? Common sense. I think this guy lucky with Apple. He was just at the right place, at the right time.

What bootstraps package manager?

Actually, things are stored in a few directories. It took a while to figure out where Sublime stores everything so I could write a dotfiles script for it.

Having to set things up through Package Manager is a pain. Not sure why that's the first step whenever I read an article on Sublime. A simple package file script that git clones/pulls plugins is more maintainable.

I just wish Sublime didn't have a mine of its own. It has a bad habit of rewriting my config with my comments removed.

Thanks for reminding me how cool my geocities pages were. Flat UI meh. I got the hammer with baloon pants bringing life to my page!

Not sure if Bitcoins are a good investment. All it takes is a western country (say Switzerland) to create an online currency and Bitcoins will sink faster than a Carnival ship.

I think some of us die hards push the pure vim way too hard. For example, while in insert mode

`end` is easier than `esc A` `ctrl+home` easier then `esc g g i` ...

Yehuda's advice isn't so bad. If the purpose is to be as efficient as possible, which is what I think most of us strive for, then why not use the extra keys? It took several weeks, actually months to become productive in Vim. Learning was a cycle of try Vim, get frustrated, go back to modeless editor until there is some down time, repeat. Vim bootcamp wasn't any fun.
