History meme

I think we must all have OCD. It’s interesting (to me at least) which things I launch from the GUI (firefox, emacs). Is there a way to get the “most-clicked launchers” in gnome?

    I frequently close my web browser because I am done surfing the web and then immediately reopen it because I’m bored. Or I read the headlines from slashdot, go to my home page, and then immediately go back to slashdot thinking I haven’t read the headlines lately.

    Is that a triple-core CPU? I haven’t seen the x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 part before.
