This New Yorker article has been well blogged about already, but here's my take.Engineers like features, marketers like features, sales likes features, and consumers like features. Nobody I know will tell you "I wish my $PRODUCT wasn't able to do X." Adding features doesn't cause problems, but lack of thoughtful design does.

etchDebian etch was released recently, which is very pleasing if you've had a hankering to run the most recent packages and not have to concern yourself with recent updates. Still, when I do an 'apt-get upgrade' now, it's a little letdown to see that there's no shiny new stuff to be had. It probably won't be long before I start carefully pulling in stuff from testing just for fun.pidginAs I

Slashdot recently had another iteration of the "is more better?" post with regard to display area. This time it concerns dual displays, the last time it was about size.I can say that having two displays is without a doubt better than one. At work, I have both monitors running at 1280x1024, with the right one dedicated to Firefox and our server monitoring app, the left one to xterms and a tabbed
