@battra92: @xfobiax: Ah, Krispy Kreme. They were so cocky about how they'd put Tim Horton's out of business when they came to Canada. They failed so hard.

Didn't I read an article on Lifehacker recently proclaiming that energy comes only from proper food and fitness comes only from exercise, but all these diet companies are trying to convince you otherwise?

Keyboardy types can do this faster than you can reach for your mouse:

@crazypills77: I've never seen an iAd. I sort of figured that it's because I'm in Canada and they haven't made any for this market, therefore I don't see them. But that's just a guess.

@ePrometheus: Mine asked if I wanted to enable location services, but it gave me a choice like any other app, and I said no.

@Goopplesoft - Reliant Robin of whitenoise: I said "I'll be pretty happy when" not "I demand it now"

@Brian King: No need to get snippy.

I'll be pretty happy when I see a truly full-featured Final Cut app that syncs your edits back to Final Cut Pro (or Final Cut Express).

@ESPNvy: I can't believe I live in a world where iMovie or Splice are called "Full Fledged" anything!

I was fiddling with this a couple weeks back. I'm not positive but it seems to copy the clips into the app rather than just access the existing file, which pretty quickly ate up the remaining HD space on my iPhone.

I just use a few standard boolean operators, quotation marks, and some google modifiers like Site: Define: and Convert:

@Spyrus21: Well it IS an abrasive! You could probably work up some Comet into a paste for the same effect, and it's cheaper. And it's intended for that.

@BPhillips21: having helped a few people move in my time, pack properly and have everything ready on moving day or your friends will hate you!

@sirmeili: My wife and I called it "Tenants White" although it was more of a creamy off-white, looked like it was intended to minimize discolouration due to smoking.

@sirmeili: I did buy a house, but before that, I went from worrying about whether the landlord would be upset if I painted, to not worrying about it and painting it whatever colour I liked. Paint is cheap and painting is easy.

Here's a superintendent-manipulation hack that's worked for me on a number of occasions: If you're having trouble gettingthe superintendent to fix stuff quickly, then just cheerfully suggest that you don't mind taking care of it yourself, then ask a few kinda dumb questions about how to go about fixing it.

My favourite thing to do in an apartment is to get tenants insurance.

@Patrick Hogan: I used to worry about what landlords think, then I discovered that I dont' care what they think, as long as I restore it when I leave so they have no reason to send me a repair bill.

@nechestriah: The point is that it's the cheapest, easiest thing you can do to spruce up a place, and also, even if you move once a year, after a few years you can get pretty sick of "tenant white" as we called it.
