I use it as an RSS aggregator, not a mail client. I like gmail's interface."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Safari RSS will do that and then some.Will Safari do that, too?
All queries in any app can be saved as smart folders. Spotlight at the system level will allow you to instantly access any content related to IBM or anything else you like with additional criteria like date viewed, date created or whatever the hell anyone else wants. It looks really useful. I'm interested to see what the Launchbar guy will make of it all.
Panther already does some of this, although it isn't as accessible.Only feebs vote.Comment

HEY!!
Stop it please. I don't give a **** who prefers what browser. Opera and Firefox are both great browsers, and it all comes down to personal preferences. I myself am an Opera user but I can see why Asher prefers FF.
Why don't we all join forces against IE instead of *****ing between ourselves?Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
And notifying the next of kin

I find it true for me, because I find it much easier to hit the taskbar right at the bottom than to aim for something near the top but not quite there. Plus, to close from the start bar it's just right-click -> move the mouse a tiny bit up and right -> left click to close a window, a motion I've ingrained into my brain. With tabs the close option is farther away from where you right-click. And I don't have to worry about accidentally closing a window with everything in it. Even if it does post a warning, I just am more comfortable with multiple windows than with tabs.Originally posted by Agathon
I have met a few people vehemently opossed to tabs and they claim that the way WinXP (and some *nix windows managers) stacks windows in the taskbar is just as good - but it isn't. You can't change between websites anywhere nearly as quickly. I think in reality they are just scared of non-M$.
I remember some Wintel fanatic claiming this on Apolyton. If only I could remember who it was...
Oh, and Mr Nice Guy is formally ejected from the Mac Club due to his admission of using IE. No real mac user would use IE. [/QUOTE]

And what's RSS?Comment

Actually, I think it's fun to point out that Agathon was all gung-ho about how much more efficient it is having the single menu-bar at the top of the screen in OS X, due to Fitts' Law.
For his argument to be consistent, he'd have to argue Windows' task bar method of multiple windows, instead of tabs, is more efficient. According to Fitts' law, it's easier to access task entries than tabs.

And what's RSS?
It's an XML feed (formatted plain-text) with website content. If you add a Live Bookmark in Firefox, that uses RSS to grab the site's headlines.
Most feeds also include part or the entire story they link to, and RSS Aggregators like that built into Thunderbird will show the whole story in the RSS feed."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

The problem is that they aren't attached to the app in question. So that nullifies any perceived advantage.For his argument to be consistent, he'd have to argue Windows' task bar method of multiple windows, instead of tabs, is more efficient.

It's funny that it's the stupidest idea ever that is generally accepted to be the best implementation by academics and end users alike.The taskbar is the stupidest idea ever. It even beats edible underwear.
Makes you wonder if the idea is stupid, or the person critiquing it."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
