I got an SSD and it completely sped up my late-08 MBP. I've had the SSD for about 6 months and I'm still at 19 seconds start-up. And that's "searching-on-google" time. I look forward to ML because Lion really slowed down Mail, and they completely f'ed up Calendar and Adress Book, so I'm looking forward to a few…

I'll bet there's a canary in charge to take the fall, clearing anyone else of any wrongdoing.

Go join the Gingers in the corner.

At first it seems excessive, but then I remember that this is Steve's thing. This is what he does. He likes gadgets, he likes to go places, and he likes to go places and talk about his gadgets, which is really much easier to show his enthusiasm by having them. Appreciate the sharing and insight! I'd love to see a…

I used to edit a lot. But the problem is a problem that exists everywhere: uniform rules cannot be uniformly applied. It got way to bureaucratic and the need for sources for even simple facts is over-applied. I have the same problem many people do; I make edits, even for grammar or consistency, and they're…

In the Dominican Republic last year, we had to drive from Puerto Plata to Santo Domingo because of American Airlines.

It's been a few months since I read the books so I'm trying to remember all the details here but I'm wanting to know how they're going to reconcile the end of the book with the movie. It just seems like many plot points in the second and third book come from events that happened near the end of the first book. Of…

I've thought the same thing, but I find that it's about 60% useful and 40% annoying because I for some reason have such a hard time typing on the soft keyboard.

You reminded me of this:

Once again, the conservative, sandwich-heavy portfolio pays off for the hungry investor.

For anyone trying to figure out where it is, the give way sign has a yellow background.

Immediately thought Ford Edge from the thumbnail in the stories list, still think Ford Edge after looking at the video.

Headphone jack on the bottom was my biggest annoyance with the iPod Touch. I was very glad to get my iPhone and the jack was on top!

While it won't work if you just can't remember passwords, I think Lifehacker had this as a tip for dealing with your kids' passwords:

It looks strange, and a little distracting. Keeping in mind this is just the beta, hopefully it changes over the next few months if there's enough feedback.
