I believe Google Labs as a department is gone (which did many little Google projects). Gmail labs, Calendar labs, etc are part of their mother department and have stuck around.

After a little digging, you can see what is the problem by using the following Terminal command:

Beautiful. I don't understand why the OSs haven't had this built in. This should be useful for helping removing usb drives. It can be very frustrating when you just need to unplug that drive and go but your computer won't let go.

Great minds think alike, eh?

Wikipedia covers it pretty well. Check out the first couple paragraphs for an executive summary. It goes into the arguments for and against. From a consumer perspective: net neutrality = good.

I think my grandpa does this.

That's what I was looking for when I started out, but I couldn't find the search term for it. J-P has a solution in another comment, but the Julian date thing limits it's usefulness. This is the best I could come up with. I have two searches setup: google.month and google.year and should work for most for most…

After living in New Zealand and Canada, I miss having the $1 and $2 coins. Also, NZ did away with pennies and nickels. Everything was in increments of 10 cents and it was awesome.

Haha, I know! Though I think it's understandable because I'm not sure the article quite gets that it's a joke.

Daily brag: Just got Win 8 Dev Preview up on my Macbook Air! Exciting! For some reason, in Lion, the boot camp assistant was failing all over the place. Got it working finally, but without a little angst on my part.

Are you a part of any fantasy football/sports leagues?

This is actually really useful. I have no patience at all for things with a progress bar. I will switch to some other program to waste my time while something is loading/transfering/updating/etc and without fail, I will forget to check on it in a reasonable amount of time. (15 minutes go by and I finally realize that…
