How sad is it that myself and a coworker of mine are both pretty excited right now, after finding out that the next release of Windows is finally bringing a customizable setting so you can choose to NOT automatically hide scrollbars?
Who ever thought hiding scrollbars was a great idea in the first place?

That is how you keep animals excited : deprive them of something they like and are used to, and give it back to them after a little while.
For us it is working the same, except that we are sometimes even willing to pay to have them back.

I've got an idea.
How about using eye pupil tracking... as you look over to the edge of the screen Cortana can make the scrollbar visible OR if you move the mouse over to the edge of the screen it becomes visible.

If it's only hidden when you're not looking at it, then why bother hiding it at all?

See,
The point here is to confuse future philosophers. The Creator of the Universe probably had this same discussion when they were designing trees in the forest.
"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"[^]
Windows users will someday utter phrases like "Do you think the scrollbar is still there when we are not looking at it?"
I better get my coat... this thread may soon turn into soapbox material.

If I say something in the forest and my wife isn't there, am I still wrong?

The idea of having my computer constantly watching me as I use it gives me the creeps. I don't care how much smoother my UI experience would be, there's only so much privacy I will sacrifice for convenience.

Hmmm,
I hope that one day... we achieve; All things completely visible.

They'll be more exciting features coming soon but they have to get the important features out 1st.

Thats how they cut their pizza's. When the son would finish a pizza in its entirety the father would proudly proclaim. "I'm gladiate the whole thing." **note this may not be historically accurate, but since I didn't live back then, it might not be completely incorrect either.

Saw a picture of it, and used what I learned from "GeoGuessr" to see if it was real.

That actually looks like it could be fun/interesting. I will to look at this "GeoGuessr" more after work.

It gives you a random Google streetView picture and a map of the world. You have to get as close as possible to the original point at which it was taken. Closer you are, the more points you get.
Some of the Australia ones are next to impossible, but it's quite interesting in a nerdy sort of way!

Holy Moley! Did the Earth's magnetic field flip already? Kept zooming out to where I could see where that was located and Earth was "upside down".

I must agree on that ... even worse - I was not able to restore it, sorry for that 
It seems that we are all upside down now ...
