Words cannot adequately convey how much I hate the Microsoft Search Companion, which is enabled by default on XP, so I have attempted to express my feelings with images instead. The mere fact that I went to the trouble of doing this will hopefully indicate just how I feel inside when this adorable pooch saunters onto my screen and obstructs my ability to find a file quickly by trying to force me to decide what kind of file it is that I’m looking for first. Or maybe I’d like to search the internet instead…? |

I have turned this thing off so many times on so many machines over the years and every time it gives me this look and then wanders away as if it felt like leaving anyway.
I’m surprised the little bastard doesn’t leave a stinking turd as a reminder.

Seriously, not enough pooch blood being (not even gratuitously, I think it’s a requirement) sprayed around, here. Otherwise, good work.
I’ve long wanted to leave 1080 out for this little pest.

one feature in vista that’s worth proclaiming, is that “there is no dog”, well not in the animated sense anyway :)

now viewing this with iPod touch… Pretty sweet, although doggie doesn’t animate. Typing works surprisingly well, much better than t9 for me, and my fingers aren’t exactly tiny

the problem with bed is the accelerometers flipping us into landscape mode when we want portrait! The device becomes a little more cumbersome. Obviously, steve hasn’t used his dream device in bed yet :)

After year of Vista I’m back with XP but now I do notice that there are some improvements in Vista, namely in search (though it’s a bit unreliable sometimes as it searches the index and not the folders by default..) and in media playback. If it weren’t for the general slow feeling of Vista Explorer (they added all new sort of crap to it besides just fixing the search) I’d stick with Vista for sure.
oh and JUJUEDIT BIG PROBLEM! I have multiple harddrives, they are set to go to sleep after few minutes.
Guess what? Opening a file in JujuEdit on spinning drive actually spins up the drives that are sleeping. WTF?! Please new version asap..
