Thanks for the pointer to the QR code, way cool!

If Amazon prime supported iOS, it would probably take a sizable chunk away from netflix. However, they don't, and so netflix is safe.

While those are certainly true, the supplicant is asking about syncing music and playlists. iTunes works passably for that.

My guess: NO

In the old days, expensive was OK, because Sony quality was incredible. Today, they're probably no different than most other major brands, and so I don't think they're worth it.

No.

I imagine "wrath-like" would be more like the New Madrid fault giving way again, like it did in 1811/1812: three mag ~8.0 earthquakes in around two months, Mississippi river flowing BACKWARDS, churchbells on the frigging EAST COAST ringing, etc., etc.. Given the, uh, "less-stringent" earthquake-resistant construction…

Yes. I should also say that real chicken stock, made from well-boiled bones, is infinitely better than anything that comes out of a can. Throw in a large pile of vegetables, and you have heavenly goodness.

Vegetable soup (with chicken, for the non-vegetarians) can also use up large amounts of vegetables, including leafy greens. You can put all sorts of weird vegetables into soup (I think we once added shredded kohlrabi). We'd also buy a whole roasted chicken from the local store, use the leftover carcass for stock,…

Which of these supports delta updates (for BOTH uploads AND downloads), like dropbox? Delta updates are essential for use with large objects. For example, I put my financial records into a large truecrypt container, and syncing this without delta sync would be very painful.

As much as I love Emacs/XEmacs (it's what I use), there's no way I'd inflict it upon a beginner. :(

Programming editors are like religions: virtually everyone has a strong preference, and there's no way they're going to switch.

I use gmail, and gmail's spam filters have worked incredibly well for me.

If you're still using the 1st-gen iPhone, then, yes, iOS will feel old and klunky. iOS4 (which obviously doesn't run on that) is a huge improvement, and iOS5 is a huge improvement over iOS4.

Wait, so anything I share in G+ can be shared by others without my permission? Is Google crazy? That virtually guarantees that I'm not going to share pics of my kids, nephews, and nieces.

Just FYI, Google+ invites have been shut down for the night, according to Vic Gundotra: [plus.google.com]

Nope. While the numbers you listed are what people would like to see, they don't necessarily correspond to reality. Example: a very major laptop manufacturer made a laptop (three years ago, admittedly) that would routinely reach 95+ deg.C (yes, ninety-five-plus celsius) under load (e.g., games). The CPU fan would…

Wave was technically awesome. Definitely no doubt about that.
