This is an internal Microsoft email that someone dug up showing the frustrations Bill Gates was going through with the usability and experience of Windows Updates, and Microsoft.com. Seems like we weren’t alone 
This was back in ’03 so it doesn’t represent the state they are in with their product at the moment.

Check out this fun list of interesting Google facts…
1. The prime reason the Google home page is so bare is due to the fact that the founders didn’t know HTML and just wanted a quick interface. In fact it was noted that the submit button was a long time coming and hitting the RETURN key was the only way to burst Google into life.
2. Due to the sparseness of the homepage, in early user tests they noted people just sitting looking at the screen. After a minute of nothingness, the tester intervened and asked ‘Whats up?’ to which they replied “We are waiting for the rest of it”. To solve that particular problem the Google Copyright message was inserted to act as a crude end of page marker.
3. One of the biggest leap in search usage came about when they introduced their much improved spell checker giving birth to the “Did you mean…” feature.

There’s a great tip posted over at macosxhints today for speeding up iPhoto ‘09. Many people have noticed the load time for iPhoto has increased considerably after upgrading to iLife ’09, especially if they have lots of photos.
This is just a Terminal command that tidys up your photo database. Over time the iPhoto database becomes fragmented, with information scattered in various places around the database file amongst regions of empty space. The vacuum command cleans up the database by removing the unnecessary parts and reorganizing the file structure.
To vacuum your iPhoto library, start by making sure iPhoto isn’t open, and then open up Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities). Firstly, you have to point the Terminal to where your iPhoto Library is using the cd (change directory) command. By default, this should be: (more…)
