VOTE: WordPress (come on folks, spell it right: two capital letters, no space)

Am I the only one who thinks the vast majority are getting their panties in a twist over something Google is introducing as an option? Will it kill you for 24 hours? (And why in hell are you using the Google home page anyway, unless you're using IE 5, which won't support address line searches.)

Vote: Skype

VOTE: Arvixe

Needs work...since nothing worked when I tried it. Site was 8-bit slow.

VOTE: LastPass

@alsotop: Gives me a lot of confidence in the app.

A Genius playlist is 25 songs. That works pretty well.

VOTE: Synergy for Mac

@GetOutOfBox: ALL of the other browsers were patched just before the competition, as well, as was documented on LH.

Seriously? That's way too much work; and eating an artichoke is enough work (but rewarding!) in and of itself.

@Masonvrocks: "links" not "link's"

The huge problem with this is that most people who will use the new hashtag probably don't have the training or the expertise to correctly identify true errors. Spelling is one thing; grammar is quite another—and most people's ideas of what is correct are themselves either incorrect or misinformed.

@jeffk: According to the Chicago Manual of Style, in the context where it appears, "second-to-last" is preferred to the unhyphenated version. Either is acceptable, however.

@kingphilip: Don't assume that all English speakers or writers are Americans. "2nd-but-last" is perfectly fine in parts of the world outside the US. (Yes, I'm an American, but I am also fairly knowledgeable about English.)

When will people learn that the Internet is NOT private? Granted, opt in would have been preferable, but some people need to get over themselves.

@zuzzy: Thanks for that; I meant to include it in my response but forgot.

I've been doing this since at least 1995, and I'm pretty sure for several years before that. Why more insurance companies and driving instructors don't advocate this more strongly is beyond me.

Am I totally out of touch if I think paying more for an e-book than I would for the paperback version is a ripoff?

*sigh* What about us poor Mac users? I miss my permatabs!!
