Apple has been keeping quiet on this "secret", as has most of the press. A lot of people have upgraded with little or no problem, but a decent number of us have had consistent problems with ios5. I sure hope Apple is working day and night to fix all these bugs... My main problem is that wifi mostly doesn't work. …

that has me wondering too. We are devoted users of Turbo Tax. Maybe time for me to experiment??

lifehacker is right and you are wrong on your snake bite info. You should give Google a try once in a while

(psst - i thought it was funny)

irfanview FTW!!

you only mention the $600 version of sony vegas. I need to give props to the $50 version, and mention they also have a $100 version too. Amazingly fast and smooth operation. No crashes.

I agree. I think i have seen most of the optical illusions when i was young. But i recently saw this one and was pleasantly blown away. VERY cool. In case folks don't know, the question is: "Are square A and square B the same color?"

I guess i don't get out much. This is the first Siri video I've seen and let me tell you it has come a long way since the app i downloaded a year ago. I was convinced that upgrading my old iPhone4 with iOS5 was enough for now, but after seeing this, i think i need the 4S!

I guess that is pretty good. Guess i'll stop coding the FireSearchEngine now, thanks for the heads up.
