Does anyone now how to display the date and time in two lines in gnome-panel? In some pictures appears in this way, but I can't find the option anywhere.

The Macbook hardware is sexy.The OS is s**tty. I'd buy it and reinstall windows over it and never use the crappy 'pre-installed' OS.

Agh, I'm making reading this a requisite action for everyone that enters this house :)You forced me to join Digg, damn it. :/I am now going to read through the 402 comments you've made, sans beverage so I don't contaminate my keyboard.Thank you!

I'll handle your points one by one:paradigm shift: while I could be pendantic and argue that ubuntu is the paradigm shift, I'll take a different task and ask, what do you mean? what would you like to see?UI: In what way is it not polished and to your standards? What does OS X do better?Nicer theme: default themes are a tough thing. they've got to be different from both Windows and OS X. So they picked up the human idea and ran with it. If you don't like the default theme, switch to one you do. www.gnome-look.orgConfigurable themes: This is a fantastic idea and something I'd love to see myself. It's always been irritating that there isn't a solid theme editor integrated into Ubuntu.Polished Interface: you're repeating yourself. Again, what do you mean?Terminal messages: RTFA, its been taken care of.Boot Up: RTFA, its been taken care of.Multitouch: hardware isn't something Canonical or the Open Source (Software) movement can control. And without hardware, there's no need to write software for it.Pan/Zoom: Moot pointFile Browser: Agreed, nautilus needs some serious work. It was nice 4 years ago, but its fallen behind. See dolphin for a much better file browser. (yea, kde user here... and I use Arch).Encryption: RTFA, it's been taken care of.Running Apps: Not sure what you mean? If you mean do the OS X thing where closing the window doesn't kill the app, that's a personal preference sort of thing, and something each individual app needs to support. Unlike in OS X, not all the software is controlled by the people writing/packaging Ubuntu.Docky: There are plenty of other docks if you don't like docky. And what does this have to do with Ubuntu? They're two separate projects.Corner Store: Oh, I wish. But there's still a long road ahead until anything of the sort happens. Do your part, and submit your comments to Launchpad. Perhaps there's a new idea in here that no one has seen, and by submitting it, you'll have contributed a feature to the next Ubuntu release. That's how open source works, it needs you to do your part. And submit bug reports!incremental changes: so you'd rather not have an Ubuntu release for 7 years, only to get stuck with a piece of s**t?YOLOTD: meh, don't wait for it. Just do your part. One day, we'll all wake up and realize that YOLOTD was a few years ago.1%: Sorry, I don't follow.Hope you read all that!

Borrow a MacBook Pro for a couple of weeks. Maybe then you'll understand....As much as we'll rather hide our heads in the sand and pretend that everything in Linux is just gravy, these things are not "moot points". The make all the difference to some people and they HAVEN'T been taken care of.The lack of attention to detail in the Linux community is an incredibly serious problem.And why should I go downloading some theme from somewhere just to have my computer look pleasant? The entire thinking behind such an argument is clueless. It should just look good and work well without me having to do a d****ed thing.Regarding the submission of recommendations to LaunchPad, you're right. I've actually made suggestions/complaints in the past. On a couple of occassions, they actually listened and fortunately, the next release was less than a couple of weeks away. To my surprise, my requests had been implemented. So I guess a little bit of my work has actually gone into an Ubuntu release.Unfortunately, a lot of Linux developers and fanboys don't take constructive criticism too well. They don't want to hear how some things are still better under Mac or Windows 7. They would rather just pat themselves on the back on a job hardly done.A frequent release schedule is appreciated. The problem has more to do with the fact that we're at the end of 2009 but the user interface is so 2001.And don't start giving me the schpiel about Compiz when the fundamentals still haven't been polished.The 1% refers to Linux's entire market share. Yep. True story.The point is that you can't rest on your laurels when you only have 1% market share. We don't have that luxury.Apple used innovation to return from near-death. FireFox used innovation to come out of nowhere. Google used innovation to come out of nowhere. Hopefully, you get the point. You don't get out of 1% by patting yourself on the back.Good enough won't cut it. Linux has to be WAY better if it is to ever get out of the 1% hole.
