I think that this is exactly what is missing in the new Gnome 3.0 as a
whole - a smart environment that is controlled by simple AI. What I mean
is for example the new window position. In current Gnome they all open
at the same place and I always move them to more suitable for my hand
and mouse place to work with (if they are not full screen). So why isn't
there something to remember my movement logic and to start arranging the
windows so that they are usable to me and not overlapping too much?

Another example is action prediction. If you do certain task an a
certain fashion (order) it would be logical the environment to remember
this somehow and present you adequate actions in certain places(open
files, list of programs you worked with, and relevant history)??

I think computers can do much more that they do right now and really
help us instead of loosing our time in the learning process and repeated
actions. Once I wrote about new menu system:

(can't find the old thread discussion)


P.S.
Promised a video mockup but unfortunately I don't know how would I
create one. Can anybody help me?
