When I disable WebGL (Safari/Preferences/Security) performances is much better, especially playing movies on YouTube and FaceBook. Just sayin'...

That seems to help quite a bit. Still not as fast as Chrome, but usable. Thanks.

Sure thing. We need to remember that the internet is actually still an experiment (HTML 5 in particular). On top of that, while net neutrality is (in theory) still being debated, I suspect some ISPs are already favoring their larger, higher paying clients. Is anyone actually monitoring that stuff? And even if the PSC was watching, do they know what they are watching or looking for? I doubt it.

After installing 10.10.3, I haven't been anywhere near RAM maxing out and I usually have 11 programs open including DP 8.07 and DP 7.24.

I don't remember my RAM and CPU ever being this efficient.

I have had everything open for days and not a single RAM max in the computer or CPU spike in DP 8.07 operating at 96 kHz and 32 bit float with lots of tracks and plugins. I have't done anything with VIs after the install yet. DP 7.24 gets processing spikes, but, I think that's because I'm using that with my 896 and Soundflower to run my Mac sounds through my 896. I think Soundflower is the culprit.

10.10.2 was a RAM nightmare for me and I was constantly overloading the Processing in DP.

So far, so great.

skeuomorphism

Ok, that's the $64 word for today! Even if it was from a week or so ago. That's the imitation of other materials, such as brushed aluminum, wood grain, rusty steel industrial control panels (made popular with games such as Marathon and other 1990s 1st person shooters), and so forth. I never liked most of the skeuomorphisms, but I liked the office desktop metaphors. File cabinets are still where I keep things organized. Until someone comes up with a better way to organize papers, receipts, taxes, sheet music, and so forth, file cabinets are it. Using them as a computer storage metaphor isn't hip or not-hip; it's just a metaphor that makes sense.

I use a combination of heaps, and a 3-D wind vortex. You start with a heap of paper, then close the door, then direct a powerful room fan toward your heap. Now you have a moving vortex of data. To access the specific paper you need, simply reach into the vortex and take hold of any paper-- then quickly change your agenda to match the paper you grab.

That's how my Mac is organized as well.
