@relyk5: I believe so. You are constantly engaging your core to stay upright and balanced. I have no idea if it's enough to be worthwhile though.

The solution to not having a timer is to mount your iPod to your stove hood... isn't that overkill? Why not just a $5-10 kitchen timer? Using it for recipes is one thing, but "lack of a timer" is reaching, IMO.

@sweenish: Alternate tip: Install MediaMonkey. Select a bunch of songs, right-click and choose Send To Playlist (playlistname). How people put up with iTunes sometimes is beyond me.

@Buster Friendly: Maybe they assassinate high prices? Or they have a second website called the Grassy Knoll? Yeah, I don't know where this is going either...

Play-doh containers, really? Glad/Rubbermaid sell 4 oz containers with lids for like $3 per 8-pack. Settle down there, kitchen MacGuyver.

@jawadkho: You're referring to the Problem Steps Recorder, but the user needs to be told how to use it and send you the resulting file.

@mike_311: I found it amusingly absurd. Thanks for the statistics lesson, but your joke-detection fails hard, allinthefamily.

@ahbi: Hulu Desktop already shows up in my Windows Media Center. No need for additional software.

@Lody: The enlarged fonts are also because people run higher resolutions than they did when XP was a spring chicken. It looks fine to me when the display is running 1920x1080.

@Springo: I think anyone with half a brain can figure out that "(Mac OS X, Free)" means that it's free if you have OS X. Maybe the Win7 entry should be changed to "(Windows 7, Free)" as well. #dock

@aaron.johnson: You've never heard the terms "bear" and "bull" used to describe the economy?

@drewls: You mean, your average Twitter user? ;)

@StlHakusho: Not to mention, who wants to wait in line for a teller (inside or at the drive-thru) just to get some cash?! Are people that afraid of machines? That's why they invented ATMs and direct deposit. I only see a teller when I'm cashing a bond, depositing coins or some other extraordinary transaction. I…

@PotKettleBlack: I agree. We got a few at the office (Dell vendor conference gift, I think) and the one that didn't fall apart now adorns my co-worker's shrine of junk, along with his Jack-in-the-Box Jack balls and the cylinder of goop that makes fart sounds. Yeah, "staple-free mastery" alright. Swingline is not…

@thirdopticaltool: THIS ISN'T WHAT I'M USED TO! STOP WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT-NESS!

Meh. I'll stick with Google Redesigned, thanks.

Birthday soup, (noun): A soup, usually a bisque or chowder, containing a medley of leftover seafood that the chef needs to use up. So named because if you eat it you'll be lucky to see your next birthday.

@whiteflea: Sounds like your admin may have set some logoff and/or shutdown scripts. If that's the case then, I don't think shutdown -f will help any. Fingers crossed for you though.
