You clicked it if you wanted something on it, but otherwise, it just sat there all nice and inconspicuous.<br /><br /> This business of having it spread out all over the place, and full of a bunch of a junk I don't even use, is really annoying, then they just had to throw in that hover crap and add insult to injury.<br /><br /> Give me good functionality to do what I want to do without a bunch of muck I'll never use, and I'm happy. There are just some things they should never try to make <strong>too</strong> fancy. Some of are more basic and to the point about such things.<br /><br /> I mean seriously.
