Gnome In these days there has been much fuzzing about the new browsing with files organizing themselves with the help of meta data. Maybe you ask yourself "What have this to do with the spatial browsing in gnome and how can it improve the browsing?". That's what I did. As I see it, the gnome people have introduced the spatial browsing so we are used to it when this new browsing is coming to town. This is very intelligent move of the gnome people and will help us adopt faster to this. This is when the spatial browsing is really making sense. I hope you see this when you've read this article.

when foreigners adapt English to suit their deficiencies in it. It is always good for a laugh. Having gone through the language acquisition process once, and now for a second time, I have to say that anyone who puts forth the effort to learn another language is entitled to their mistakes, and those mistakes are best played for a communal "you said something weird, and didn't even know it" guffaw.

That said, one thing I took away from this "press release" is that I finally am beginning to understand the reason people cite GNOME for bloat. Let's hope for Gnome 3, (where breaking of binary, and source compatibility is acceptable,) that the GNOME devs move to a more unified programming base. Let's not have the *NIX equivalent of Windows's million programming environments. Keep it simple, stupid.
