#2I'm disappointed in the answer to the following questions:
Can I tile two windows without 17 clicks and mouse movements? Fortunately for the creator of Cinch, it seems the answer is no.
Can I archive a gmail message? No?

About GMail archiving: Really not? (I haven't read trough this massive review yet.)
At least on iOS it is possible to convince the delete button to archive. (By setting the trash folder to 'All mail', if I remember correctly.) I would imagine that Apple Mail should be at least as configurable as its iOS counterpart.

#4As someone who has never used OS X as his primary operating system, I am confused about what is being shown off as new in the Window Resizing section [1]. Were you not able to resize windows from all of those eight points before Lion?

No, this has been one of the fundamental UI differences between Mac OS (from farther back than OS X) and Windows/Linux. Mac windows can only be resized from the bottom-right, with those other points being used to drag the window around.

No, just from the bottom-right corner.

#7Seems like arstechnica is a little bit overloaded by the number of requests (or am I the only one getting errors sometimes?)

iOS supports archiving perfectly fine. No need for any tricks.
Lion kinda does. You can archive but doing that will actually create an “Archive” folder and moves the mail there. That’s not the expected behavior when using Gmail. (The expected behavior would be to move the mail to the “All Messages” folder, or, in Gmail lingo, to remove all labels from the message. iOS does that, Lion doesn’t.)

#9Since the article didn't mention it, I'll ask here.
Anyone know the versions of Python, Ruby, Apache, PHP, etc. that come installed with OS X Lion?

#10Having listened to Siracusa's 5by5 podcast, Hypercritical, I am reading this with the voice of Squidworth from Spongebob Squarepants.
