If you travel one airline almost to the exclusion of all others, that airline's frequent flyer credit card (Visa for United, Amex for Delta, for instance) is an excellent option.

Went to Spain about a dozen years ago (and would love to return!). Although we were on a tour, we had plenty of time to ourselves. And while I speak a tiny bit of Spanish, there really was no language barrier. English is almost a universal language, as long as you don't expect everyone to speak it fluently. Generally,…

About a year ago here, I lamented the fact that the only way you could change the size of a window in OS X was in the lower-right corner (and it seemed like every time I wanted to do this, the window was already in the l-r corner!). I was roundly lambasted for my heresy...and then we got Lion.

As a matter of fact, I DO use CFLs in the bathrooms. They give enough light while warming up that it's not a hardship. I also have LED nightlights in the bathrooms that give enough (practically free) light that often, turning on the lights is unnecessary.

And Chrome is even *more* like Chrome than Safari!

Love it! And I love the new Gcal look as well. Really hoping that a GReader makeover is in the works.

Funny...this is what I've ALWAYS wished Google Calendar looked like! I'm a happy camper. It doesn't bother me that it isn't "original"—for me, it's a lot more practical, and that's what I want in my calendar app.

It should be noted the Ultra Keyboard is free only for a 24-hour trial. That may be enough for people who do a lot of phone/tablet typing during a single day, but I'm not one of them. The full version is US $2.79.

Actually, you'll never have a corked bottle with a synthetic cork or screw cap. I used to be of the snobbish "real cork only" crowd, but have since been educated. :) That said, the traditionalist in me is NEVER disappointed when I get a bottle with a real cork.

For the life of me, I can't see the problem here...

Depends on what you want to do with the tree afterwards. Make toothpicks? Then artillery. Lumber? Use the ax.

"Swype is a free download for Android devices with HVGA, WVGA, FWVGA, QVGA, WQVGA, WSVGA, and qHD screen sizes." Unless your phone (e.g., Droid X) came with Swype preinstalled, and you haven't rooted it. :(

I only have around 4 email addresses, but all of them forward quite nicely to a single GMail address, and I instantly know which address has what messages, thanks to multiple inboxes, filters, and labels. And still less work than a single standalone email client!

This.

Does BST play well with dual-monitor setups? I couldn't see any indication that it does.

"...all bad reviews..."? Did you not just read the article on which you commented?

3D is the wave of the...present. So whatever you do, I'd recommend your Blu-ray solution include 3D, even if your television doesn't. Just bought an outstanding Sony BRD-S580 for $175. Of course, you can opt not to get 3D now...and get it when you upgrade your TV. But that's a lot more cash at one time.

Keep in mind that only one person keeps Blu-ray from running under OS X: Steve Jobs.

Even when I did have a set that big, I didn't put anything on top of it. About the only things I have ever seen on top of a television set were rabbit ears and the old cable converter boxes, which were pretty small.
