Well there is one more very simple and minute reason i should be unhappy while using Mac ( being come from Windows world ). Its been more than half year i have been using Mac in my home computing use but still i am not used to its some of the behavior. This particular reason i dont like Mac is related to the Mac’s Window Full screen issue. Most of the Mac application dont go full screen to fit the monitor width but some of them do. For example i have used Adobe Photoshop which takes whole screen width while clicking Green Maximize control button . Similarly Adobe Reader and Default Mail app also behaves same. The problem i liked to mention here is even if the application window goes full screen to take the whole window width they are movable or draggable . Whats the logic behind this Apple ? Why the hell we want to move the application windows after it has taken entire screen width. We dont want to see the part of application window by moving it . The windows in this scenario should be fixed to the screen as long as user doesn’t click Green maximize button.
Have you ever noticed the Finder’s toolbar has some kind of mistake ( i think so ). The finder toolbar has Back/Forward button , View buttons, Quick Look, Action and a search box by default. One interesting thing i am not comfortable with is that why is the Back/Forward button labeled “Back” only . If it was to be labeled “Back” there should have been only Back Button and not the Forward button 
. Do you think its some kind of negligence or something which is not much thought of when designed ? .
I was inspecting the total size consumed by Applications in my Mac using Disk Inventory . I came to know that Mail app is actually taking lot of space in the Hard Drive as compared to my usual Mail applications in Windows platform. Precisely Apple default Mail application is approx 290MB in size . I inspected inside the Mail app to know what exactly is it thats taking so much of space and knew that there are some unused localization folders ( i guess language specific folders ) . I realised that i am only going to use English as language in my Mac so i thought i could delete all other Language specific folders except “English.lproj” . After deleting all those i saw no difference in the Mail app , theoretically which is as expected . Now my Mail.app size is just 27 MB and have faced no Problem and assume i wont get any problem as long as my Mac language is set to English. To summarize the tip Continue reading »
This is one of the thing which bugs me in Apple Mac OS X . In windows i do closing of programs directly from the windows task bar at the bottom . When windows are grouped I even can close all the window groups at once from the right mouse click . There is no such feature in Mac OS X . Mac needs more than one click to do that close function for minimized program ( application ) window . And every minimized window needs individual treatment to close them . In Mac right clicking on the minimized application windows just shows one option to open that window . This single option is as good as maximize menu in windows right click on windows task bar. One of the several reason windows is better than Mac . 
A good read i found in my RSS reader from Cult of Mac .
The same thing happens at home. My wife’s MacBook Pro that was supplied to her through work is a touch wonky (something going on with a sound card, occasional spinning rainbow wheel), but nothing that out of the ordinary. But it does have the rather bizarre characteristic of fully hibernating whenever the power gets low. And then it won’t start back up until it’s been plugged in for 15 seconds or so. “Why did they design it that way?” she asks. And I have no answer. It does suck. If I were Apple, I would have made it work the way it already did on older Macs. Somewhere over the last five years, we’ve been forced to change from Apple evangelists into Apple apologists.
