Of course 'Slugworth' (pace Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), aka
Shuttleworth, nicked "Ocelot" while the late
Steve Jobs (may his socks be forever adored, may his manic-depressive
mood-swings be forever overlooked)
was looking the other way.
Since you mentioned Mr. Shuttleworth in this OS X 10.8 thread, please
forgive this moment of fanboyism:
However; remember that Mr Slugworth (played by Gunter Meissner, with the
wonderful craggy face) was really workng for
Willy Wonka (played by Gene Wilder) all the time.
3 Features New to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion That Ubuntu Already Has
<http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/02/mountain-lion-features-ubuntu/>
I assure you my increasing love for Ubuntu and disenchantment with the
way Mac is going is not dictated by the fact that
I cannot afford a new Mac.
I am happy with my PPC mini, running 10.4; and would, if I could, get a
Mac running 10.5. But after that I think things began to go wonky
(rather than 'Wonka').
I do NOT really like Unity; so run Ubuntu 12.04 with Avant Window
Navigator doing 90% of the work the old GNOME 2 panel did.
I have got the Launcher 'thing' (almost as bad as the Mac system 7
launcher) out of the way as best I can by setting it to hide via
dconf editor.
Livecode runs like a charm.
