  1. Don't worry, I'm quite sure google and many other companies around the web keep a tab on my age and interests..
  2. Really sad to see how the crossing of all this information can give a very complete scenario of what we do online across these sites. Thanks JorgeA, I have now mentioned this option at http://www.google-is-evil.com/thread-3.html Previously I was using scroogle until it closed doors and later duckduckgo.
  3. Microsoft and Google seem to get confusingly similar nowadays. Both competing directly on so many of the same fields, the scroogle page was funny. The same thing for the symbiosis between Win8 and the Internet services. It just gets much harder to remain anonymous or even hide your preferences from data miners. For a large part of the population, they just won't care or be aware of what happens. In a post-modern world, only the command line will survive all these things. No fancy Javascript or Metro-like will get things done when systems get broken.
  4. Well, allow me to be vocal about this matter. WPI is a great tool, thank you very much for keeping it solid and updated across all these years.
  5. +1 from me.Unfortunately, I just get disappointed with the direction that Ubuntu went with Unity. I mean, so many years providing a rock star style of OS with things that were just great out of the box and now this awful window manager. So, not much better things are going on the other side of the fence. At least with OSX you know what to count and works solid as a unix alternative. Can't believe I'm writing a post to support Apple.
  6. It would be interesting indeed. I'd just think we'd see some other window manager surface to relevance for professional use without the toy'ish appearance. Still remember as a teenager when Win95 came up, that thing just looked hypnotizing and modern when compared to other options such as DOS and Win 3.x. I wonder if teenagers are indeed feeling the same "wow" experience with Win8 nowadays.
  7. Lest we not forget Microsoft Windows Bob around the Win 3.1/95 era. Impressive how you can replace "Bob" with "8" and they still match so well. For more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Bob
  8. Great beta tester! Thanks for your help in the development of uxp.
