I've got one floating on the desktop now that I would like to put back - Maybe it's not possible? If I really did tear a note out of a notebook in real life I couldn't put it back in short of taping it or stapling it. How do you re-attach a note back into the notes app?

If you accidentally select a paragraph and erase it unwittingly; it instantly throws that section away on all copies. It's gone. In Lion each note that you changed was email to you daily so you had a COPY from yesterday. That feature is gone. The cloud amplifies an error.

Notes are too unstructured for my brain - Reminders give me enough - but not too much. Unfortunately doesn’t seem to persist across a restart of the app. Unfortunate – but I’ll live with it.

For some reason, Spotlight also includes notes that have been deleted from the application but still have files in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/CoreData/ExternalRecords/*/NoteBody/_records/*/.

While yes I can drop it on the desktop, I must leave notes running for it to stay, and once I close the main notes window it is not intuitive or easy to reopen the main window. I am also not seeing the note on the desktop updating. The one in the main notes window does correctly, but changes on the iPhone do not seem to sync to the note left on my desktop. The one left on the desktop appears static. odd... Also restarting notes does not leave the desktop note in place, you must 'tear' it off and place it each time, in my opinion not intuitive or helpful, at least not as helpful as the tip suggests. bummer This does not work so well for me…
