Thumbs up for Directory Opus. It's got a few glitches with Windows 7 that take some tweaking to address, but I couldn't imagine doing my job without it.

"The Real Sync" will let you set sync folders for any folder on your device's SD card with any folder on Dropbox. Download, upload or synchronize - it'll do it. I mainly use it for keeping collections of PDF research articles on my computer and my tablet.

I got xbox live primarily for Netflix. Then RROD. Now I'm using a Boxee Box (Christmas gift) and the xbox sits idle because I'm not willing to pay the price for a new one.

With apologies to Emory Leeson, "they're boxy but they're good" isn't a selling point for computer interfaces.

"Shaved" is the past- and perfect-tense form of the verb "shave." "Shaven" is a past-participle. Along with a few other odd English words, it has pretty much been ignored as a verb and now functions primarily as an adjective. Melt, cleave and prove are in the same boat.

I'm not sure about "least manly," but I definitely find them "least effective." I don't know if it's the angles of my features or the design of the devices, but I've always felt like I needed another shave at noon when I used an electric razor.

I've tried CM7, but hated the dialer. Sense has me spoiled. Dialer One could make CM more appealing.

I like context-sensitive options. But, as interesting an idea as this is, I'm not sure it really solves a pressing problem. The instances where I want to remove a program are not so frequent that I'd want to add it to the context menu all the time. And, given the infrequency of this situation, I don't the five clicks…

This sounds great and would tempt me to stick with HTC rather than getting a Galaxy S2, ifandwhen they are available stateside. But something tells me that AT&T will find a way to mess this up.

Oh, dear Lord. It finally happened. I've been waiting years for this opportunity, after all the taunting from Mac users.

Amen!

Some species of slugs are pests because they're herbivores and like to eat the gardens we silly humans prepare for them.

Where I live, "deep roots" are not possible. I've got about 6 inches of sod, soil and clay before I hit solid rock. Well, fairly solid rock. Water doesn't penetrate here, it runs off; if it rains, we will get flood warnings.

I believe the answer to your question is a resounding, "Yes."

I don't like absolute generalizations, like "everybody." I wouldn't be "miserable" with an iPhone, but that doesn't mean I'd be happy.

Apparently, the "pro" version of the software enables you to open tabs in new windows. However, it's the "pay" version, which is $25.

@Stupidus Maximus: No, it wasn't spam. The individual was identifiable and his message was related to a specific event we were hosting. It was a poorly constructed attempt to drum up business.

@ woshiernog: You're welcome.

In 1995, with the widespread adoption of Windows 95 and ISPs serving residential areas, I once argued that email would bring about a general improvement in the quality of writing, as it takes more effort to communicate clearly when you cannot convey tone or facial expressions. I was optimistic.

Point taken.
