@swc oxcart: Right, so, I have two GMail "application shortcuts" pinned to the large taskbar. They look fine. But if I have a proper Chrome window open, and then open a new GMail "application" window, it doesn't know to persist as an open form of the pinned icon, like it does with every other app. Instead, it creates…

Have they fixed the way Windows 7 groups "application shortcut" programs? Because goddamn does Chrome fuck that up hard.

@nutbastard: My first thought exactly. The crown vic is wonderfully recognizable, with the amber turn lights inside the headlights. This looks a little less distinct, frustratingly.

PDANet's small fee is only for https connections—plenty of browsing to be had without requiring a secure connection, but I'd definitely rather pay the $25 or $30 than root the phone.

@Owen Good: It's easy to jump on the OHMYGOD THIS IS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE sensationalism bandwagon, but there's nothing about this that should be illegal, and it's ridiculous to say otherwise.

@Brian Crecente: Haha, it was a special moment. Apparently I woke up screaming at him. Or, rather, didn't wake up, but was screaming at him.

I think prospective entrants should be required to sleep in the same bed as former Gizmodo editor Joel Johnson, like I was required to do, whilst getting spooned, in order to cover E3 for Kotaku/Gizmodo.

This is just one of those wonderful things that exist because of how the fee structure is currently set for internet radio broadcasts. The moment that changes, all of this goes away and we revert back to a dark age, unable to use the technology at our disposal to share music, build followings and even increase sales.

Maybe the toddler was kidnapped as a prelude to a new, awesome Alternate Reality Game commissioned by Bungie, ala I Love Bees! But with a terrible, dark underbelly?

No, you're right, people can't love sunglasses more than christ himself AND read The Economist. Least of all, jez readers. *eye roll*

I'm a little on the nerdy-ish side, if you had to pick a cliche. The guys in my circle of friends are all around the 1-5 range, and of the girls I've dated, they're at 12, 7, 8, 9, in the 7-15 range, really. (We're all under 24.)

@DorothyZbornak: You know what, I'm cool with the personal safety ideal. I think the appearance might come off as "I've brought other people to judge you" instead of "you're from the internet, and I need to have a safety net." Keep them out of eyesight maybe?

I think it'd be a bit peculiar to be blindsided and have someone bring two friends with on a blind date, but if they bailed surely after intros, I don't know what Mr. Quantico would freak so.

I understand the Monroe thing and I love freckles, but I love freckles because they're accompanied (when in that quantity, typically) by red hair. Thus, the blonde takes away from it a titch.

Gina, et al, it looks like the program is no longer offering the free software. See current page versus Google Cache of current page and you'll see they've removed the details about the free software offer.

Why on earth are we limited to the 16 colors of Word 3.0? Man, this bugs the hell out of me. "I can choose Cyan or Blue!"

Live in Phoenix. Done and done.

Looks good on Sony Ericsson K800i on Opera Mini. No comments, though.

Man that's awesome. I like some holiday music, but not the classical stuff as much as Sufjan Stevens/folk takes on it, so it's great that you get a blending of other artists doing the same thing, with still a holiday feel. Awesome.
