Why Apple Spaces is broken

I have been using virtual desktops, what Apple now calls Spaces™, since 1995 on X11 Unix. So I have quite good experience with this feature. I know what it needs, and I can tell very clearly that although Apple's implementations is the most beautiful version available, it clearly has not been thought through correctly

Geek to Live: Empty your inbox with the Trusted Trio - Lifehacker

Managing the steady stream of email that gathers in your inbox every day can feel like an impossible task. Not long ago, I kept a lengthening list of folders in my email software to track messages by topic, sender, project, urgency and any other context that seemed relevant that hour. I'd spend lots of time carefully dragging and dropping every message from my inbox into the folder it seemed to belong in that day. After awhile I had so many folders the system was completely useless. Some of the folders - even after the work of creating and populating them - I barely ever opened again.
Since then I've slimmed down my email buckets to just three: what I call the Trusted Trio. Using just a few, simple action-based folders, it takes very little thought to keep on top of my email and a consistently empty inbox.
Note: This system is a modification of the excellent Inbox Makeover method published in Macworld in April of 2005 by king of Inbox Zero Merlin Mann. I've been using Merlin's system since the article was published and during that time whittled my own version down from his suggested 5 to 3 folders.

the electric sheep screen-saver
by jpcaruana
& 5 others
Electric Sheep is a free, open source screen saver run by thousands of people all over the world. It can be installed on any ordinary PC or Mac. When these computers "sleep", the screen saver comes on and the computers communicate with each other by the internet to share the work of creating morphing abstract animations known as "sheep". The result is a collective "android dream", an homage to Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.
Anyone watching one of these computers may vote for their favorite animations using the keyboard. The more popular sheep live longer and reproduce according to a genetic algorithm with mutation and cross-over. Hence the flock evolves to please its global audience. You can also design your own sheep and submit them to the gene pool.

A la conquête de la Noosphère

Après avoir observé une contradiction entre l'idéologie «officielle» définie par les licences de logiciels à sources ouverts et le comportement réel des hackeurs, nous examinons les véritables coutumes contrôlant cette culture. Nous découvrons que cela implique une théorie des droits de possession sous-jacente, qui est proche de la théorie de Locke sur la propriété foncière. Nous analysons la culture hackeur comme une «culture du don» dans laquelle les participants rivalisent pour le prestige en donnant du temps, de l'énergie et de la créativité. Nous examinons ensuite les implications de cette analyse pour la résolution des conflits dans cette culture et nous développons quelques idées pour approfondir cette réflexion.
