[...] Too Many Choices? Just a quick question: have any of the people who argue this ever seen or been in an American supermarket? Have you seen the cereal aisle? The toothpaste section? Seriously, my wife is from Japan and she had some serious culture shock the first time she saw all the choices for things like toothpaste, deodorant, spaghetti sauces, etc, etc. [...]

Comment on PCLinuxOS by Osugi Sakae

Hmm, not sure if I am going to start worrying just yet. Gentoo went through similar troubles and came through it just fine (from the average user’s point of view at least).

After a couple of more days with PCLinuxOS, I feel justified in my initial optimism. No problems yet, everything is running smoothly, and I am very happy with it.

So a big thanks to the developers. I really appreciate the work you all have put into PCLinuxOS. Please keep up the great work.

At least you know where you can find the distributions with the brightest future: Gentoo first and then PCLinuxOS! –> http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20090330#news Congratulations!

Comment on On The Usability Of Paper Clips by Stomfi

The 1974 designed WIMP interface was supposed to be cognitive. i.e. able to be learnt, not neccessarily intuitive.
With the power available in modern CPUs, GPUs and DSPs and their interfaces, it is about time that we had a modern interface that can read, listen, talk, see and recognise in a manner that fits in with how we perform the same information communitions in the physical universe.
It has only been MS’s desire to sell us the same ’74 package over and over, that has hindered the development of a truely intuitive interface.
Now that IBM has given us the Cell chip, we can use our cognitive abilities to program this supercomputing marvel to develop a natural interface and leave the old WIMP paradigm back in the last century where it belongs.

Actually, I *do* remember a time when I didn’t know how to use a paper clip. It was a mystery to me.

I haven’t really seen where XP and KDE are so vastly different. I don’t find it difficult to use KDE. It has your basic GUI concepts, menus, selection, drag and drop, etc. They work much the same, in my opinion. True – KDE gives you a whole lot more options, but if you don’t care (or don’t know) about them, you can get along quite nicely using the defaults.

I like a black background with lighter text. I find this more restful on my eyes. The garish brightness of screens with white backgrounds begins to hurt after a while. A printed page relies on reflected light, which is much gentler. A computer screen generates its own light, which these days can be quite bright – much brighter than a similar printed page. This cause strain for me after many hours.

Like you, I prefer green on black – that’s how I set up my terminal emulator in KDE…
