embedded in
ars technica’s
, there’s a great bit on something that i’ve been doing for a very,
very long time, something that is so deeply embedded in my way of
doing things that i hadn’t ever thought about it –
spatial
window management
:
“That’s right, Mac users actually manually arranged
their windows like so many pieces of paper on a desk. Insanity! The
height of inefficiency! Au contraire. I won’t bore you with the
details yet again, but suffice it to say that there is a vast well
of cognitive resources just waiting to be tapped by a bunch of
boringly coherent and stable objects on a screen.”
