I use Divvy for Mac for arranging windows. I love it. http://mizage.com/divvy/#divvyMac
I'm a fan of SizeUp. http://irradiatedsoftware.com/sizeup/
Love the (lack of) scrollbars. My perfect OS would have no visible window chrome at all, no edges, no title bar, no buttons, nothing other than my work. The other bits would fade in as needed, then disappear again. not sure how exactly though...
It seems like your perfect WM is a tiling one. :)
Ever used Quicktime X? That's what I want :)

Being picky about the childhood phone number: does anyone even remember that? Since I have the iPhone I can only memorise something like three or four phone numbers.
Well, maybe that point just got me all excited because I had to work on exactly that dilemma of bad security questions a few years ago for a big identity management installation and we would end up with exactly those kind of a bit more personal/specific questions like who was your first manager, lyrics to favorite song, most significant politician... In my case, being European and only moved from my parents' house on…
One thing that continuously strikes me is Apple's ability to invest great level of detail when they want to. Take the FileVault recovery key, for example. For something so crucial like file encryption, not only do they offer you a quick solution but a practical and more "human usable" one; they offer to store it for you. And then they go the extra mile with those security questions! http://static.arstechnica.net/2011…

As 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? 1. http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2011/07/mac-os-x-10-7.a...
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.
Now I know there wasn't. Was this ever a pain point for powerusers, especially on laptops, or did you just get used to it?

But I like the Ubuntu scrollbars better. There is at least a small line showing there is more content. The reviewer is also surprised to see he is "missing" some programs (scrollbar is missing). I think this is a bad UI decision.
I thought about the "bad ui" thing, and I can see where this coulf be confusing, but tonight (it's almost midnight here) I'm being selfish and voting for no scrollbars just because that's what I like.
Of course I'll have to reconsider this later when my father-in-law rings me up saying almost all his documents has gone.
Siracusa strikes me as a power user type so I'm extremely surprised that he neglected to mention how patently awful and useless Mission Control is on multiple monitors. Whereas in the Spaces view in Snow Leopard I could move a window to a different space AND a different monitor with a quick drag, Mission Control doesn't allow this - I have to first move the window to the correct "Desktop", then exit MC and drag it to…

wasn't ready in time and will be fixed for 10.7.1?
