ok, so Launchpad CAN be organized...hated it when i first opened it. EVERY app shows up.
you can't delete apps from Launchpad, but you can organize them. hold on an icon (a la iPhone), and they all jiggle...
move one onto another, and a folder is created. i am dumping 80% of my apps in a folder names "xtras".
then i'm moving between screens, and grouping my most-accessed apps to the first page.
adios dock!
