beachball

[prev] [thread] [next] [lurker] [Date index for 2005/04/26]

Today I witnessed, many times, that cute colourful beachball that my 
Mac OS X displays when it basically hangs.
Instead of using the valuable resources to actually make sure Safari 
doesn't hang (as my activity monitor kindly displays in bright red) 
Apple decided to make a cute spinning beachball.

I don't like it

*I hate it*

What do they think? I go 'oh cute, I don't mind the wait lalala'???

I want to do my work! I don't want some stupid happy thingy on my 
screen, making it impossible for me to actually do anything but wait! 
And what do I wait for? I have no clue! It spins on *ALL* my apps most 
of the time!
Do I want it?
No!
Can I turn it off?
NO!
Does it drive me crazy?
Fuck yeah!
