You don't need a paper shopping list: Evernote was made just for this sort of thing. Or, you could simply use a calculator, unless you want to see what you're buying without looking in your cart or basket.

VOTE: Apple full-size keyboard.

VOTE: Logitech Performance MX (regardless of your OS).

Even better, the longer wrist pad (for those of us who use the wireless keyboard and magic trackpad) is the same price! Just ordered one from Amazon.

VOTE: Chrome

If you're installing a browser to Win98, your OS is too old; replace it, and you'll fix your "old browser" problem, too. I'm curious, also, why you didn't show the sample page as viewed with IE9 (or 10). While I don't use it or recommend it, IE9 is a very capable browser. IE10 will be as well.

FWIW . . . I saw your comment. :)

At the risk of sounding like a "me-too'er," me too! While the previewer is handy, it's too easy to dismiss what might be a great, lengthy comment by reading just the first few words.

Let me add my vote to any above that are opposed to any kind of comment-voting system. Most of us are adults, and we shouldn't need to have our comments validated by others.

Probably something he read about on the interwebs, that had little substance and even less actual fact-checking. (Yes, Steve Jobs was a colossal jerk; but that doesn't make the company he ran that bad.)

VOTE: Apple AirPort Extreme

Or you could have a pretty Apple router! Seriously, though, I like the comfort of being able to look over and actually see lights blinking sometimes. (Well, that's on my modem; the Apple's light doesn't blink.)

For which handset? They don't all work with all phones. Gingerbread? ICS?

VOTE: Arvixe.

I'd pay $1 for a Mac app that, as someone else mentioned, Win7 (and Win8) do by default. But $7.50/$14? Not in this day and age, not yet: I'm not obsessive compulsive.

If you're even seeing spam, you have a bigger problem. Using Gmail, I see spam only when I want to. I get *maybe* one false positive a week, and usually it's "bacn"—advertising I want to see, or even signed up to get, but Gmail misclassified it. I'm cool with that. But actual spam in the rest of my email? I got a…
