An interesting article has been making its way around the internet the past few days, titled "Top 10 Usability Highs Of Mac OS". Mac OS X indeed does some things very, very right, just like many other operating systems and graphical environments do some things very, very right. The issue with the list of the article in question is that many of the items on the list are not exactly examples of "Usability Highs" at all.

has anybody experience a kernel panic when using linux on a desktop? how does it look like? ..i have been using linux for years now and have never seen a kernel panic ..it hang a few times that required a hard reboot but it has never(so far) dropped me anyway and inform me of a panic ..how does linux handles such situations? do they occur?
A funny but still nice example of Apple’s attention to detail. On the rare occasions when Mac crashes, it still does so in a respectable manner. Usability-wise it’s not perfect, since it doesn’t let the user know what went wrong and only asks the user to reboot the system. Still, beautiful and elegant.
ignorance is a bliss, right? ...
