Google Chrome

Tried right-clicking on the icon of your window on the taskbar and doing a move? (This is useful when you have a dual monitor setup and you've not turned on one monitor - and that turned-off monitor happens to have your window that you'd like to move to the turned-on window)

You'll see that GOOG's tried to be a bit cute with the window border design - they tried to out-M$ M$. Bad call. The pointer ends up in a useless location.

And oh, while you're at it, could you please let M$ apply Autocomplete to text fields in Chrome?

Thanks

Excel STDEV Formula

They never have enough fun finding ways to frustrate us. Something so simple as a basic standard deviation. And they can't even get that right.

All I did was create a column of numbers from 1 to 40. The standard deviation of the first N natural numbers is known to be rt( (N^2 -1)/12) - which is 11.543396 - I manually did a laborious sum of xi minux xmean and computed the stdev this way in Excel and got this. And, I used the Excel built in - which gives 11.69045194.

What the hell!!
