@laserfox: Sorry to burst your bubble, but iTunes does every one of those things.

This is a big theme—perhaps the biggest—of Stephen Covey and his Institute for Principle-Centered Leadership, with which I was once affiliated. But I get even more from Cesar Millan and his admonishments to be "calm and assertive" rather than hyper-stressful and reactive when dealing with dogs, and applying that…

There are so many ways to do this, it's a shame to limit the discussion to stars. Comments, categories, sort fields, and any other un- or seldom-used tags are fair game for selection criteria. And for many purposes, not just syncing. Imagination: use it.

Our problem is that we keep misplacing them, and eventually losing them altogether. Especially the lids. Ergo, cheaply replaced is appropriate.

This is the exact opposite of the "conventional wisdom" of the past, which said that the #1 ingredient of success is single-minded, laserlike, steadfast, persistent, tenacious focus on a goal, and that ADHD-like lack of such focus is anathema to success. How could this be?

IMO this phenomenon is partially dependent upon latitude, the same way brilliant sunsets and the Aurora Borealis are. Having the sun go overhead, as occurs more the closer you get to the Equator, negates it. Even though you would think the sun goes through the same vertical angles late in the day, there's something…

Same thing with golf.

When I first saw this headline I thought it meant 1000 FEET per second and thought, "Now this I gotta see." (1000'/sec is about 682 mph.)

Sorry I just noticed these replies.

Please, people. They're called Vise-Grips (because they put the object they're holding in a "vise"). They're not second in command to Grips.

Musical artists have begun creating apps for individual albums of theirs. As if! Who wants to clutter up precious app space for one album when they already have a media player?

Oh, I don't know about that. Dominance is definitely a priority, if not THE priority, at Google. Remember that when the devil comes, he doesn't dress up like the devil and announce his arrival. He's not that stupid. It's when he's got you thinking he's an angel that he's got you where he wants you.

Problem is, there are too many apps that are nearly identical in scope, capability, and/or function. Developers, you need to start segregating your apps into definite niches so we can choose more easily without having to download, play with, and scrutinize them first. Better yet, please identify your apps as "the one…

"Noise from excessive pixel density?" What is that supposed to mean?

Anyone who doesn't realize this with two minutes of entering an Ikea—or any of dozens of more-prominent retailers, for that matter—would be well-advised to give up all thought of entering any contests that are based on intellectual prowess.

So said the fanboi who couldn't comprehend what the industry executive—you know, someone who actually matters—just said above.

Reminds me of Kip Adotta's old joke. "Rich, but no class. You know the type...brick mobile home."

So you were right to hang on to your AT&T iPhone, then?

How do you get yourself in a position of painting a feature as a negative? In the absolute worst case, it's something that you don't take advantage of, and ignore. Anything else, and the discussion is really about an emotional problem of yours.
