How can I stop my dock from rearranging…: Apple Support Communities

How can I stop my dock from rearranging…: Apple Support Communities. This is a good answer and one that worked for the poster. thanks X4!

Lion hides your Library folder. You can get to it via the Finder Go menu, Go To Folder, and

entering ~/Library or ~/Library/Preferences depending on where you want to go.

As for the dock thing, I realize you have a new system, but have you installed any third party additions at this point? Or is this still a “pristine”, as-shipped version of Lion?

The plist you may want to remove is,

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist

i.e., that plist in your home directory Preferences. Log out and back in after you remove that plist.

SystemUIServer constantly crashing: Apple Support Communities

SystemUIServer constantly crashing: Apple Support Communities. The poster solves his own issue. It was third-party software at fault.

Google Docs bumps up free storage to 5GB, primes servers for Drive? — Engadget. Interesting strategy to alienate customers. Why not offer the people who have supported your company the same extra 5GB? It just doesn’t make sense to treat customers this way.

Review: Bad Apple – Technology Review – StumbleUpon

Review: Bad Apple – Technology Review – StumbleUpon. I don’t think this is a fair review. Apple can’t do everything correct. For example, he complains about the mail reader, calendar and PDF preview. There are good options for all of those, and Apple didn’t invent PDF. The fact that the company that invented PDF can’t make a decent reader shows it is difficult.

You often see these kind of articles when Apple gets popular. Yes, it is true that as things get complex, it is more difficult to keep the ease of use that Apple is known for. I think for the most part Apple does great with its OS. It slips, but its clear that they care about quality. Certain segments will always be displeased by the majorities needs. Almost always third-party options are available. More complex, yes. Impossible, no.

I guess I’m out of the Google doghouse

For the last two weeks my views had gone to ridiculously low levels. Perhaps everyone was on vacation, but more likely Google has changed how it feels about my site and content. I say this because the major source of traffic comes from the Google search results, and the last two weeks those have been down to double digits when they typically were triple digits.

Has anyone else had this experience?
