Comment Love the calendar but not the tooltips (Score 2) 137

I think it's great having the option to always have the calendar up within the Gmail screen. It's something I've wanted for a long time.

The one really annoying piece for me is that the main window tooltips stay up too long (like the Refresh button). If you hover over an icon too long and move the cursor away, the tooltip stays up for over a second. Sounds short but it's way too long. The tooltips for the icons on the right side are timed correctly though.

I use the compact option with a dark theme so I don't see a lot of wasted space.

When do we get road neutrality? I'm tired of paying tolls on roads that are deemed "more important". I'm also tired of being told I can't drive in certain lanes due to the contents of my car (HOV lanes for those that don't understand the reference).

Are roads not considered to be a utility? Lack of road neutrality increases the costs for individual people driving as well as the costs of goods sold shipped over the roads.

Some roads are "free" (paid for by tax-payers) and some roads have tolls (also paid for by tax-payers...toll changes is just free money for the State). Some roads have "special" lanes that you can use for carpooling (charging people based on content being delivered) or pay above and beyond all the taxes people already pay. If you don't do either, the police will chase you down and ticket you.

Tolls are MUCH higher if you are a truck delivering goods to people (again, content based charging). The excuse is trucks cause more wear and tear on the roads so the money is needed for infrastructure. Sounds just like what ISPs tell us...

I just get tired of the political hypocrisy (both sides). Toll roads are fine but ISP tolls are bad. I guess companies cannot increase profits but it's perfectly fine the government gets richer and bigger.

Submission + - Obama: information becomes a distraction 2

zaphod writes: According to Obama, ...information becomes a distraction... when it comes to iPads, Xbox, etc. (all items he admits not knowing how to use). Basically saying we are getting too much information too quickly and from "unreliable sources". Of course, he's referring to talk radio, blogs and other mediums that tend to disagree with his political views. Is Obama suggesting that we go back to the days where news and information were spoon fed and filtered to us? Granted, there will always be mis-information, but we had that with the before this "distracting information" (right Dan Rather?).
