tell me about it. I don't miss commercials one bit. I was over at a friends house a while back, and we were watching a show, and I couldn't figure out why the pacing of the episode felt off. Then I realized just how much commercials seem to take one out of the plot. And more than that, I realized how contrived the…

I dunno. I think Katie Holmes is far more vanilla than Anne Hathaway. But I concede that that could just be me.

I don't remember any untalented transvestites being posted on... Oh. Travesties. Never mind.

Minecraft PE is... Not bad, but I don't think it's fair to say that it's the same as the PC version. It's a little dumbed down.

And the added bonus is that natural sunlight can help eliviate SAD.

you should be doing great in the summer time!

Talking total numer of single devices, not platforms.

They had thousands, but they'll be cycling in the ones they get back too. That's the reason they've stated a six week turn around, but some people already have theirs. The pre-refurbed nanos are being sent back first while the returns are being refurbed.

I've talked to him. Several times. He isn't playing after the city ordinance, but he is playing at hours that are reasonably consider a child's bedtime hours.

No, no, no. You're doing it wrong. Repeat after me, "Apple is evil and never has any good reason to do what it does, except to make baby Jesus cry. Communist, Nazi, Fascism. Walled garden. DRM. Draconian. Tyrannical. Baby eating. Puppy kicking. Greed. Blah blah blah."

I doubt that very much. If anything, I'd bet on Siri being on every iOS 5 device... Eventually.

I dunno. I alway kind of liked the 3rd gen. It was chubby, had a pretty nice screen, and fit in my pocket really well.

Yeah. I love my iPhone, but physical controls will always be a reason for a dedicated PMP.

well, remanufactured batteries, refurbed everything else. Sorry. Didn't mean to imply otherwise.

It's a courtesy thing. I've got kids. They need sleep, and chances are, they'll be sleeping before 11pm. However, I have a neighbor who starts plays his guitar for two or three hours an evening at a volume that can be described as no less than stadium decibels. He's not bad, but he could easily play with headphones…

I'll be using it for running. I really want the physical controls.

Keep it real, bro.

I have a similar methodology. I have a pretty large network of music lovers that bounce artist recommendations around. I listen to those recommendations on Spotify (if I can't find them on NoiseTrade) and then I buy what I like. But I stick to the free version of Spotify because I think the value added in the premium…

they refurbed and remanufactured a number of them in 2010 in preparation for this.

I got a brand new Mac Pro when I brought my liquid cooled one in. It was a pre-Intel model, and I got the latest and greatest. I'd been told to take it in because of the problems with the cooling system.
