● Facebook concept for ad sharing may be illegal.
● Fake Steve Jobs blog jumps all over me for my rants about Vista.

    I’m not a Linux fanatic, but i feel compelled to point out that the thing about the Mac now showing icons of the file content has been around in Linux KDE of quite a while. Probably in Gnome, too, but I don’t use Gnome so I don’t know for sure.

    I dunnoe, but isn’t the icons used in Windows pretty much the same deal? Word files have one icon, anything associated with Media Player has it’s own distinctive little icon, and so on. So the Leopard icon is a true image of the doc, but shrunk down to icon size, I can’t see why it even matters. Maybe on mouse hover it expands to full size, and if that’s the case then yeah, that’s cool.

  4. Witwicky says:

    Windows icons are based on file associations. Thumbnails, if enabled, only show content for video and pics. If im not mistaken

  5. RTaylor says:

    This is off topic, but I would encourage everyone to watch this weeks Cranky Geeks. By the end of the show John could have walked off the set and the women wouldn’t have noticed. It was also hilarious that John kept glancing off camera, probably at his producer, for setting him up with this panel.

  6. Stan says:

    #6 – Watching it on TIVO now – cracks me up – I betcha first time the word tampons has been aired on Cranky Geeks.

  7. James says:

    #1 Yes, it’s also in Gnome. You know, I don’t think Dvorak ever has even tried any sort of Linux, least not in the past ten years or so.

  8. Improbus says:

    This episode of Cranky Geeks was more like watching the View. Please limit females to one per show. Cripes! It was nearly unwatchable.

    P.S. What was up with the sound levels?
