I know this isn't exactly what you're talking about but I've found it invaluable: https://github.com/atomantic/dotfiles

It's a script that installs all kinds of useful stuff and sets some - in my opinion - nice options. I just recently started a new job and I had a brand new Macbook Pro up and running (as in: ready to start working) in less than 30 minutes.

A good tip is to fork it and modify it to your liking. At a new computer you can then just pull down your version and install away.

The only default that's missing is Sublime Text.

This is the first time I've seen somebody else complain about the arrow keys and I completely agree.

It's by far the most infuriating aspect of this new keyboard.

Another thing that I have a hard time explaining is my inability to orientate myself on this keyboard; several times a day I have to move the laptop around, look at the keys and "reset" myself to the keyboard. I don't know what that's about but I've only ever experienced it on this keyboard.

My personal machine is a 2014 MBP which will be replaced with something other than a mac once the time comes.

But orchestrated by who? Surely not Bloomberg as they'd have too much to lose.

And if you have the means to do something like this, why not do it in a more subtle way that doesn't have people asking questions 6 months later?

I'm not suggesting you're wrong and I have no clue what happened.

To differentiate themselves I think. I didn't like them at first either but they grew on me.

Car design is tricky - you have to design for peoples tastes 5+ years in the future.

(I know nothing about car design)

This is also something I struggle with.

I think that they are incredibly difficult to find and most people (me included) can't identify "problems" in their day to day that could be improved by something - in hindsight - relatively simple.

I'm constantly asking myself: where are the pain-points in my daily interactions with computers/software etc.

So far there's nothing and I know that can't be true.

I love this.

Douglas Adams also comes to mind.

This is compelling. I like the "pay as you go" model for data. I'm on an iPhone though and do enjoy visual voicemail - I wonder how much I would miss it? I also wonder what their beta status for iOS means and what their roadmap looks like.
