The kill ring gets my vote.

Regional undo/redo is a close second.

Yes, the 'Zero' is a bit hyperbolic. At a bare minimum I'd of course still have Russian-Brides and Nigerian Prince's to keep me company...

I think you're missing a key distinction. My clients, wouldn't begrudge me a vacation. They would however, be quite offended if my autos-responder told them their message has been deleted. Quite frankly, it comes off as rude. You wouldn't forgive 'BigCorp' for replying to you this way, why should a small business be any different?

If I took this approach with my clients, they'd award me with a zero inbox count for perpeturity.

As a developer, my decade long honeymoon with OSX may be waning. On the other hand there is still nothing that comes close to OSX for my nontechnical friends. And no... they cannot use Ubuntu. (I have scientifically-worthless empirical evidence)

The new plot library is brilliant! Thanks to all involved.

I don't think the problem here is their OS, rather it'll be their network structure. So instead, perhaps that should be:

"Oh please tell me they didn't connect directly to the internet".

This seems about as random and undirected as Stuxnet magically appearing at five Iranian nuclear plants.

The problem is these demands are being retroactively refined by every special interest group along the spectrum.

What do the people on the ground really want? And who are they going to take it from, to get it?

Actual demands I've heard from the group range from the whimsical: 100% free tuition, ending all foreclosures, and ending the fed. To the more sensible: lowering rates on tuition loans, long-term mortgage restructuring (to keep people in their homes), and reapplying Glass-Steigal.

Without cohesive and unified demands, I don't see how this 'movement' will achieve anything more than noise. Surely even 'occupiers' have jobs to attend? (Did I just say, "let them eat cake"?)

It's sad, but that's the viewpoint I came away with as well.

Very apt.

There is an easter-egg from this 'Think Different' campaign in OSX. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think_Different#Mac_OS_X
