I bought an early 2008 MBP from a reseller for a steal two days after the first unibody models came out. Looks like I'm still getting Mountain Lion though. (But I acknowledge that Mountain Lion will probably be the last version this laptop gets)

After the last few years I wouldn't even trust an American bank with my financial data.

I just use Siri to set timers now. Except when I dont' want coworkers to mock me for talking to my phone

Mine was gone, but I put it back. While I was there I changed my religion from "Against" to "Flying Spaghetti Monster" so it's all good

One thing to keep in mind when you're gearing up for a job hunt: When all your colleagues get LinkedIn updates and one day it reports that you've done a major overhaul on your LinkedIn page, they know exactly what you're up to.

I'd love to see it. Link?

"How are we going to get people to read this article about the time-honoured practise of retail marketing?"

Since I installed this, I haven't actually even seen a social reader article. Are you sure it doesn't just block them? :) I suppose it's possible that my rants about social reader apps have actually worked.

Whenever someone brings up the "Nothing to hide" line, I always point out that any one of us is only one legislative act away from being on the wrong side of the law.

Your search terms to learn all about the roots of this particular type of credit profile building are "JP Martin" and "Canadian Tire Financial Services"

My boss is good about this but I have some clients who email at all hours, evenings and weekends. I want to email them back and say, "go, spend time with your family. Read a book. Play a video game!"

I had that same thought. On Facebook I only add people I have had some kind of real life connection to, and even then I curate that list. But twitter (and G+) I follow areas of interest, it's a much longer list of people

Yes, my Netflix recommendations look like two different adults and a toddler have been using it. Which is exactly the case. On the upside, I never would have discovered the mystical power of "Kipper the Dog" to mesmerize an upset little boy if not for crazy Netflix recommendations

I always considered Good Friday to be the start of the serious grilling season. I don't call it Steak Friday for nothin!

Why skip the shredding? Because if you have a big enough pile of documents to shred (assuming it is not big enough to justify paying for a shredding service) it can take a long time to shred them.

Putting a distinctive mark on things can help. Even if that mark is your name in sharpie in a place the thief might not notice.

I snapped this one in a hotel in Arizona just 6 months ago [plus.google.com]

One thing I love about my phone is that it always has the most recent pictures of my son on it. So if I ever am in the horrific position of having to give the police a recent picture, the ones I send will probably be less than a day old.

I swore I'd never use Safari again, but I switched back after upgrading to OS X Lion. It has improved a lot since I swore it off, and it's nicely integrated into Lion, especially if you use the Ful screen feature a lot.

Hey why isn't the shower working AHH MY EYES!
