Saw it recently at Alamo, much better than I remember it being. Definitely worth seeing.

I've always replaced it with Paint.Net anyway.

Women are saying don't approach me.

I've been seeing it, as an observer, since the 90's.

Not all women, but enough.

In the Before Time, there were physical keyboard overlays for specific apps. For example Wordperfect had an overlay that showed it's keyboard functions.

Extreme claims require extreme evidence. I need to see a bony little green guy saying "Ack ack".

Yawn.

Or do you think such people don't rise to the top in socialist systems?

Indeed.

Cloud is useful for things like flexibility - you need massive dynamic expansion/contraction of resources? Cloud can do it... But at a cost.

Or for a startup - you need resources quickly, but don't want to invest in physical hardware because that's a risky investment if the business doesn't survive. But again, it's not cheap.

Worst of all, each cloud provider has a convoluted system of features, by design, intended to lock you in to their system once you learn it. So you still have staff dedicated to that.

The problem with cloud is much better explained here (I have no idea who this person is, just found their blog to be well written).

To me the whole home screen paradigm just doesn't work, at all. I don't keep anything on the home screen, I find it clumsy and disorganized, with things hard to find - just like with the desktop paradigm on Windows.

It seems like a good idea, it just doesn't work for me. I can't find anything on my computer desktop - the inability to organize it other than giant icons of stuff just makes it overwhelming, and it's the same problem on a phone.

I use a combination of folders (Folder Organizer) and Notification Shortcuts (Notification Toggle), because that makes so much more sense to me. Notification Panel

It seems a different paradigm for phones would be more effective than reproducing a desktop.
