I know.

Haha, yea it needs cleaning badly :p

Also why is the x4 "stupid"? It's a brilliant keyboard! Typing is very nice, and the backlit keys are great when in the dark!

Is it necessary to have so many computers, tablets, and smart phones?

When you build apps and other crap for all platforms I would say yes.. I don't even have quite a few I need to get. I need to get Galaxy Tab, I need to get iPhone 4S and I need to get Galaxy Nexus

I wanna show mine, but my cables are just as messy. :/ I hate that, not matter what I do, I can't seem to get them organized.

ha that's exactally how i felt and then i tried to do a bit of organizing and it worked for the most part to the point where i felt the pic was good enough

Anyone else getting a kick out of the number of high dollar unshielded speakers sitting right next to high dollar computer systems slowly demagnetizing (or re-magnetizing depending on how you look at it) their hard drives?

The latest change to my desk involves the addition of a monitor stand. I think it was the best purchase I have made in a while as it really freed up the desk for usage. Not sure if I should post the old setup to gauge the change, but I'll do so hoping it doesn't clutter the post.

    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
