Leopard's Dock: does anyone at Apple use it on the side? Add this to the growing criticism for the revised Dock in Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard): it denies gravity. When the Dock is placed on the side of the screen rather than the bottom, the icons certainly aren't resting on a surface, instead adhering to the surface by some unknown force. Paul of Rogue Amoeba writes: "I've yet to see any other comments on the Dock being used on the side of the screen. This may be because those who've tried it have been stricken instantly with vertigo and had to go lie down for a bit. I'm powering through the nausea, however, in an effort to make you sick too. It really isn't an exaggeration to say that it may make you dizzy. Like an M.C. Escher acid trip, there appear to be several perspectives at once." ConceptDraw 7.3 due later this month CS Odessa will soon release ConceptDraw 7.3, which comes with Presentation Mode and an improved, faster import of Visio XML Files. The update is scheduled for shipment on September 18th. Visio users can specify that all Visio drawings they create be saved as XML files by default. All users of ConceptDraw 7.x will be able to receive a no charge upgrade to version 7.3.
