Enough said. Is there any situation where it's non-hateful for
any software to leap to the foreground of its own volition?
Classic example: opening an application on the Mac:
* Click on dock icon or launch with quicksilver
* Listen to disk grind; watch icon bounce
* Wait for my foreground window to get a gray title
* Alt-tab back to what I'm actually doing
I've been so well-trained at this that I hardly even think about
how annoying it is.
Related hate: some evil javascript incantation that grabs
keyboard focus from the frontmost tab in Safari without switching
to the offending tab.

At least it's not "My Music". What's with those lame
Microsoft-inspired names? It's *my* home directory on *my*
computer -- of course it's mine! FFS!
