Review?Review
Is there anyone for whom their company's (semi)annual review process actually works? It pretty much never has for me, but I'm not sure if that's just because I'm doing it wrong (which I definitely am to some degree), or because its purpose is frequently mistaken or misdirected, or because it's just not possible to achieve its goals using its ( Read more... ) -

Successfully upgraded to MacOS 10.9. "It's free" plus "Some things are stopping support for 10.6" were enough to overcome inertia, apparently. Though I still HATE the new file saving scheme all the Apple apps use. They've basically taken operations I use with moderate frequency and broken them up into several steps, none of which I'd ever want ( Read more... ) -
