The unholy typographic alliance of Windows and Mozilla turns "click" into "dick" every time. Or, you know, it's a Freudian thing.
Inviting anyone who has ever been offended that so-and-so is not following them on Twitter to a vigorous bout of self-copulation.
Just walked past two women who were speaking to each other on their cell phones without realizing they were less than a block apart.
Wishing iTunes allowed you to search all of the shared libraries on a network. Then maybe I could listen to some Gorguts today.
Thanks all for the iPhone speaker/dock suggestions. The best value seems to be the Klipsch iGroove SXT iPod Sound System: amazon.com/Klipsch-iGroove-SX…
Seeking recommendations for decent, affordable iPhone speakers/dock primarily for listening to podcasts in the kitchen.
This morning, an intermediary received a PDF by e-mail, printed and faxed it to the 3rd party, who then reproduced it in clay with a stylus.
Funny how traditional media is going digital in LIFO order: music, film, print. And none will accept that fundamental changes are necessary.
Just laughed out loud at the discovery of a 14-day Zune pass in the SXSW film swag bag.
The great thing about mobile phones is that the ringer doesn't need to be heard from another room.
Making my SXSW schedule. Just when I thought Silicon Valley's vernacular had reached its nadir, 2009 digs a little deeper with "Whuffie."
Is there a way to assign a song to more than one album in iTunes? If not, there should be.
Plans for my "This MacBook brought to you by" joke fell through when I couldn't find a beach ball manufacturer with a familiar name.
For all the things Netflix does right, it still thinks "Foreign" is a genre, and "Anime" supersedes "Animation".
Tried to buy a $10 item from ikea.com, was e-mailed the shipping cost a day later ($19) and told to call with my credit card #. Speechless.
Wondering, as I often do, just who Microsoft thinks it's talking to. research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/r…
Thanks all for the Twitter Windows client suggestions. Twhirl and Tweetdeck seem to be the favorites, so I'll try them both.
Looking for a Twitter client for Windows that approximates what Twitterrific and Growl do on my Mac. Suggestions?
Doing the annual Dumping of the RSS Feeds, starting with a clean slate on New Year's Day, and maybe moving to Google Reader.
Just got an unsolicited and unquestionably honest review of the Blackberry Storm from one of the Italian curmudgeons.
Smirking at the continued failures of "iPhone killers" that think the iPhone's success is the sum of its features.
So are there any Facebook apps that actually work consistently?
Getting Leah set up on her shiny new MacBook.
It may have more content, but the new Joost doesn't hold a candle to Hulu in terms of overall quality and user experience.
There's something very irksome about the disposable nature of the digital lifestyle.
Anyone at #WJS08 have an Apple Remote or USB remote I can borrow for my 2:45 session tomorrow? I forgot mine...
Missing the days when Apple's incompatibility with other systems made it 100% accountable for problems with its products.
Who pioneered the old "fool the fingerprint/retina scanner with an authorized person's severed hand/eyeball" trick? Do they get royalties?
Upon coming into contact with orange juice, the iPhone immediately informed me that "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone."
Why would I want an application window to remain in the background after I click “+” to maximize it? iTunes knows, but it'll never tell.
Disappointed in the guy who impregnated the woman who answered her cell phone in the library.
Who needs a spam folder when I've got an inbox?
What does this mean?
I'm stumped. All of my iPhone apps are up-to-date, and the Applications window in iTunes doesn't indicate that any two apps are in any way different than the others. So what does that 2 mean? And how do I make it go away?
If domain squatters have friends, I won't be one of them.
Anyone know of Mac software that converts selected text to speech and saves as MP3 for later listening? If not, free idea for developers...
Unplugging my fan to use my printer, thanks to both the manufacturer of the printer's 24" power cable and the genius that wired my home.
Really impressed with the Silverback video demo I just watched. Bravo, ClearLeft, and congrats on the launch! silverbackapp.com
The Favrd leaderboard works kind of like the US economy: It helps the people with the largest audiences get even bigger audiences.
Finally jumping into the del.icio.us pool, immediately annoyed that it truncates my notes without a warning or a specified character count.
Glaring at a bug in iTunes 7.7 that borks non-standard characters in pre-2.4 ID3 tags. At 3am. Somehow I'm not celibate. discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa…
Weird. iPhone's Maps app thinks I'm currently on my old block. Did it trace the registration address on my Airport Express?
Almost ready to start switching back to the superior web app alternatives to some of these new iPhone apps.
Got a replacement for my unresponsive iPhone by the skin of my teeth, since my warranty technically expired at midnight.
The bottom of my iPhone touch screen has stopped working. Has anyone solved this problem without access to their computer or an Apple store?
Has anyone used iVolume or know of any other good alternatives to Sound Check in iTunes?
When much of what you do relies on a computer, it's problematic that the days you don't touch your computer tend to be your most productive.
Singing "Inbox: 0" to the tune of "Jukebox Hero."
Inbox: 0. For the first time in... well, ever. It has been a goal I never fully understood until this moment.
Didn't turn on my computer once this weekend. Hoping to make that a habit.
Listening to a record store clerk tell a customer that special orders take 1-2 weeks. Wondering if they hear the clock ticking.
