Larger screens and screens with higher definition has killed Ubuntu Unity desktop
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At last some common sense is returning to the Ubuntu camp
with re-introduction of unique menus for each application,

The idea that menus will only be available at the top
bar instead of having one menu for each window that
is open is being tossed. The excuse being given
is the mobile phones have larger screens, while smaller
screens have high definition negating the need for
clutter reduction measures.

We all know they blew their customers away by being
stubborn about their new UI and refusing to let
users have options to go back to what they are used to.
At least then they would not have lost so many users.

And now its all a waste any way.

Hopefully the Ubuntu team is not going to piss
on its users again and letting goose stepping
UI Nazis run riot dictating what users can and cannot
have as a choice and so can go back to being
the normal wonderful distro that it was before
its wasted days and wasted enery on Unity crap which will
now never see the light of day in its original form
because screen resolutions have gone through the roof.

Personally I would be happy if the menu brought up
a whole bunch of semitransparent buttonized icons for mobile use
as a choice I can enable
because they grubby fingers can operate the chubby
buttons with great ease and speed in smaller mobiles.
