Ooh, so now we're at the inventing jobs stage?

And if they'd been told they would be attacked with dogs and fire hoses (oh hai, civil rights movement) or worse, shot, that would be A-okay too? They were practicing non-violent civil disobedience, an action with a long, noble history in American politics. They weren't attacking people, or attempting to fight the…

A dedicated comma button? I'm over the moon!

Hearted.

THIS.

Definitely one of those 'hacks' that seems to fall under because-we-can rather than actually solving a problem... If freshness and easy dispensing is that important, wouldn't keeping it in a wide-mouthed jar or tupperware make more sense?

Plus, even if/when there is a power outage, if you keep your cell charged you should have access to the internet too, which could be crucial for a long outage. And I'm going to go out on a limb and say that cell towers are less likely to go down than phone lines.

Despite having grown up on aim, and it having taught me how to type, I feel facebook chat does everything I could ever need it to do (with the fairly ubiquitous gchat filling in when something needs to be more professional). I'm not a complicated guy, and facebook messaging does everything for me.

That is entirely true. My dad took typing classes in high school, and yet on a good day I can double his speed, despite never having technically learned how to type. I don't even use home keys. It was all aim.

Very true, no consumer is ever going to be targeted for using it, but I was just trying to point out that while that works right now as the music industry is in turmoil, that's not a future-of-the-industry type of solution, the way itunes or spotify or whatever can be, just because it doesn't have a real legal…

I think at this point in time Samsung could do it, if they ditched every other phone them made, made every carrier sell the exact same version of the SG S II, and rode on the name and goodwill they've built up. But they won't, because being able to capture a larger segment of the market with a variety of phones…

hahaha it feels like that sometimes...

Apples to oranges, bud. If the only android phone on the market was the Droid 3, or the Galaxy S II, or some other top of the line phone, it too would have a far higher concentrated market share. The reason android has 3x apple's market share is because it offers so much more choice, from physical keyboards to big…

seriously, if anything is going to get gizmodo/engadget taken out of my rss feed it would be the legions of people constantly and thoughtlessly accusing them of apple or android bias

The thing is that apple will match your songs without uploading them, and replace them with higher quality (unless you use flac, which most people don't). The hassle of having to upload dozens of gigs of music is a hassle a lot of people don't want. It's one thing if you're on FiOS or a university connection, but a…

Isn't grooveshark essentially illegal though? Or rather gray area, in that it's not explicitly giving you pirated music, but that none of the money is going to the artists?

There's a vending machine in my dorm and whenever I buy a snack I pay for it with spare change (at least dimes, I don't bother with pennies and usually nickels) instead of quarters or bills. It's like the grocery store, except there's never anyone in line who get's annoyed when you count out exact change.

Hmm, interesting. I do have to wonder about causation and correlation though—whether those two well-defined periods cause their greater proficiency, or whether their skill and better organization or whatever causes them to choose to practice in a more organized and regular fashion.

I made the switch to leopard for college, but before I left I'd installed w7 on my desktop and was perfectly satisfied with it. I'd say microsoft has a success on their hands
