@xerax - (eServer.gr): One of the many, many, things it's good at.

@Dancing Milkcarton: You can watch this video if you go to vimeo.com.

@knyghtryda: As someone who recently repaired the cord of his Shure ear canal headphones, I concur. These days most headphone models use extremely fragile wires that are designed to fail after a year of use. It's criminal, and you can't repair them without a soldering iron.

Apple has every right to decide what they will publish in the App Store, and these "sexy" apps are worthless outside of the App Store. The developers are merely taking advantage of teenagers with iTunes accounts who are easily fooled into throwing their money away.

@Chris Smith: My Mom won an iPod Shuffle as a door prize a few years ago. She didn't know what to do with it until I showed her some of my favorite podcasts. She was then hooked.

At the very least I mute the TV, and I usually open the laptop and hit Google Reader for a while, or I flip through a coffee table book.

Attention OS X Users: Plex vs. XBMC, which is the one true home entertainment solution? #xbmc

Since 1990 I've used every Microsoft OS since MS-DOS 5 and Windows 3.0, except for Vista.

SMS and MMS are obsolete.

My Macbook just turned 3 years old. It shipped with a faulty battery that I ended up replacing on warranty after 2 years.

Virtual Desktops is a very old feature. For the longest time it was the *only* form of application window management available to old-school Unix desktops, which is why many old-school Unix people like virtual desktops.

I hate anti-virus companies; the software they produce is just awful. The problem with most consumer anti-virus is that they're way, way too intrusive.

I use an original Apple Extended Keyboard circa 1987. The nice thing about it vs. the IBM Model M is that it sports a full modern keyboard layout, including Win keys in Windows.

Except that it doesn't really have the memory capacity to be a decent media center.

Call me crazy, but I don't see a download link on their web page.

I have my Blackberry automatically turn off a 1:00 am and turn on at 7:00 am each day. At 7:00 I'm woken by any email I've received through the night. If I haven't received any email there's no need to get up early and I get to sleep in.

Compare the search results for "bolt bb" on Google and on Bing. One will have lots of information about a nice web browser for the BlackBerry, the other will have a lot on nonsense.

Three cheers for the self righteous anti-DRM crowd for making this all possible! Personally, I'd take DRM over higher prices.

I can perhaps understand not wanting to install QuickTime, but Bonjour (aka mDNSResponder.exe) and iPodHelper are extremely light weight. For all intents and purposes they consume no resources and are completely invisible. You'd have to be extremely paranoid to uninstall them.
