Rob Foster on the Elimination of File Systems as a User-Accessible Part

Rob Foster, observing how family and friends use their Macs:

Because they can now actually use their computers instead of simply restarting them, I’m able to better see how they use them. And the one commonality I’ve seen is that no one knows how to use the file system.

Unfortunately for the average person, the file system is so complex that everything outside of the desktop and the documents folder appears to be a vast labyrinth which most likely hides booby traps and minotaurs.

This is exactly my experience, too. Many computer users can not comprehend their file storage.

Quite cool, but as with many music videos I'm not sure what the video has to do with the song.

Why Ad Blocking is devastating to the sites you love

This is why I don't block ads. I do block Flash, though, which ends up blocking some ads. I refuse to allow ads that are going to crank up my CPU, though. I'm not sure there are any non-annoying Flash ads, and they should just go away.
