@Canoehead: FWIW, I was charged tax. $319 or so charged to my cc.

"It wasn't even that epic of a fall"

VOTE: Remember the milk

Do you honestly think that's the worst "fall" the box saw during its trip from China?

I have it set to 'do not disturb' and give it out when I'd rather not give my real number. I've made very occasional international calls with it. I'd use it more if there was a way to have it support extensions (e.g. my work number is an extension, no direct-dial)

Navigon Regional is awesome. I hope they update it soon.

Everyone's blogging this, but nobody is noting on the fact that it hasn't yet worked for anyone.

@AdamKaoru: Means it's coded to run optimally on iPad and iPhone (as opposed to "double-pixel mode on iPad). Apps without this are just written for one or the other

After trying all morning, I finally got mine ordered around 3:45pm (eastern time) through the Apple Store online for 6/24 delivery.

mmm, the smell of carbon paper.

As nice as a free turn-by-turn GPS app is, you can get Navigon's regional app for iPhone for under $30 (on sale recently for half that), which is pretty cheap in comparison to a 2-year cellphone contract. So pick the phone you want, and let the GPS app follow :)

@wickedcupofjoe: You might try doing a restore in iTunes.

Anyone have any experience or tips on how to best treat your backyard for ticks? My local arborist wants to charge an arm and a leg for it.

In my experience, the size of the company you work for plays a big role. When you're one of eight or ten people, I'd argue the guilt is more likely to be higher than if you work for a big company.
