Application Settings
Introduction
Here are some of my application preferences. These settings are not absolute, which means I may change them depending on what I'm currently doing with my computer and what kind of system I'm using. Some settings are for CPU, memory, stability, networking and display optimization (networking: no simultaneous downloads with iTunes) with slow computers with small displays (laptops: no unnecessary buttons and toolbars in applications), some are for security reasons (don't save passwords in applications), and some are for my personal taste (no unnecessary sounds, buttons or popup windows).
