This thing is amazing. So much nicer in build quality/design than my old laptop. I mean, the OS is cool too, but I've been hackintoshing for years so it's nothing new.
Let me say this though without starting a war (hopefully). If you use any kind of version control system, work often with linux servers, or like to do lots of dev testing with a web server other than Apache: OSX > Windows by soooo much.
To those who think Macs are way better for design etc., they're not. They use the same programs as Windows so there isn't much of a difference. I find it funny this is often an argument and not the fact that it makes coding so much nicer.[/QUOTE]
Completely agree with everything there - Windows is lacking a decent GIT or SVN client (literally decades behind osx alternatives). And as far as graphics goes photoshop is the same on a mac as windows - its just a way for designers to justify an IT budget that is 5 times bigger than any other department.
I prefer windows as an operating system but windows applications are shit (with the exception of stuff Microsoft makes) as a result I find myself using OSX more and more.

OSX is growing on me slightly, it's still clunky to use.
I just wrote a small php file that extracts a wordpress zip into the current directory and then deletes the zip. Much quicker uploading one zip via FTP than the thousands of files in wordpress one by one.

I've got it up on github here [url]https://github.com/hzy-/Pyzer[/url]
the syntax for using it is pyzer.weldr.me/resize?w=[the max width]&h=[the max height]&src=[your image url]
Does this work?

the url is here [url]http://s4.postimage.org/fwijr5bpl/test.png[/url]
of course, using pyzer you can makie that perfect for forum display

[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;32333759]OSX is growing on me slightly, it's still clunky to use.[/QUOTE]
If you're using a hackintosh, then yes, it's clunky. But on a mac with a magic mouse or multi-touch trackpad it's ridiculously awesome and in no way at all clunky compared to windows.
I can switch between everything in just a few swipes, I hardly ever have to use the trackpad to click on stuff as swipes+keys gets me to everything I want. Not to mention iTerm2 which lets me pull a terminal overlay down from the top of the screen by pressing two keys and then slide it back up by pressing the same two keys. I'm using the command line and yet its faster than any SCM gui I've used for committing and pushing files.
The only thing I've found clunky on actual Apple hardware is Adobe products. All the keybindings are different by default and there's certain things I miss about the way Photoshop works on Windows that are slightly different on a Mac.
I think that OS X feels less clunky than windows, but that's just my opinion

Did some work on the styling, wasted some time on taking a nice screenshot.
(Yes, those are ubuntu scrollbars. The whole thing is generated by a script.)

I can use windows fine, just about any Linux window manager just fine, Amiga Worbench, perfectly.
But there is something I can't quite put my finger on about OSX. Quick question, how do I format a flash drive on OSX? there is no context menu option when I right click on it on the desktop.

Same here to be honest.
I use Windows perfectly, Linux - pretty fine, but OSX is a different talk. I've used it quite a lot in school (as we have iMacs) and every time I use it I just feel pain in doing anything really. Guess OSX is just not for me.
What doesn't work for you easily in OSX?
Using Windows I've disabled mouse acceleration mostly for gaming, but while on OS X my magic mouse just feels so slow no matter what I do. You cannot disable mouse acceleration either in OS X from what I've read. Other than that, I love OS X.

I'm pretty sure there's a prefpane you can install to change this (along with pretty much anything else non-editable by default).

It's not a theme, it's an extension called stratiform which lets you recolour the UI and change the icon style.
