I've bitched enough about all things Mac, but this one's just too good
to pass on (from the article that Peter linked to):
"The fundamental issue here is Lion's assumption that you don't know
what you're doing, and it's going to ensure you're protected from
cock-ups that, in your ignorance, you may make."
The first half of that sentence has always been my major gripe with Mac
OS. If there just were a Pro version for those that know what they're
doing, but the iPadification of computing goes exactly the opposite way.

I guess this is one of them:
How Apple's Lion won't let you trash documents
The operating system for the nanny state?
