“On the Mac, they include: the Dock, Spotlight, the Dashboard, Spaces, Expose, Automator, the menu bar, Bluetooth, MobileMe, Print & Fax, Time Machine, the Screen Saver, and much more. I recommend against using these features, as they just slow things down most of the time.”

Leo from Zen Habits is becoming an annoying pain in the ass. He recommends against using Time Machine?! Because it is a resource hog and something to potentially fiddle with and tweak? He went on to say that he likes to use a plain white desktop background because he actually only uses his computer as a nightlight. Some people do more with their computer than write blog posts about how to get motivated to do less. WTF?!
