I've got a Dell U2410 widescreen monitor at work. When I disconnect the cable from my computer, the monitor goes into a "hey, no cable is connected" screen, and stays that way. It never goes into standby ( Read more... )

Yes I have the Dell Ultrasharp 2408. Shitty design. Same problem. Speaking of design, why the hell do I need to press so many button to make it dimmer or brighter? Menu. Then select brightness (down). Then enter. Then + or -. Then I can wait 30 seconds for the annoying menu to disappear, or, press down down (exit), then press enter. UBER LAME. Shitty design ( ... )

I wouldn't argue with the menu design point. The 2410 has this annoying issue where you have to give it an input before you can set the buttons to *not* beep when you push them ( ... )

Apple hanging anonymous May 6 2010, 07:14:04 UTC

The only time my Apple hung on me consistently was when I used the corporate version with a bunch of security layers that made it painfully slow to startup or shut down. Without the stupid corporateware, it is zippy and pleasant. Did you experience Apple with corporateware on it? -K

I haven't used the non-crapware version, but Windows with crapware worked great.

Of 6 of us here, 4 use macs, 3 use OS X on their macs (no crapware), and all 3 of those that use OS X have had their mac die on them at least twice in the last 2 months (bouncing beach ball of death, hard lock, ...). My Windows 7 laptop with Ubuntu VM in VirtualBox, the guy who runs Arch on a mac laptop, and the guy who runs vanilla Debian on a Lenovo laptop haven't had any crashes.

That's just my experience.
