...you stick honeycombs onto gingerbread with ice cream and call it an ice cream sandwich? Ew.

With strange aeons even death may die.

Laptop, lamp, mac mini, chargers for the DS and cellphone, monitor, modem, router all into a fairly hefty surge strip at the house. What uses the most power? The lamp, by far. In fact, it uses more than the rest of the items at peak usage combined. (Five-bulb, if you're wondering.)

I'd like to hide some of my App Store purchases for OS X. Some of the free ones, for instance, deserve a big red "X" through them saying "You already tried this once and it was crap."

I would've been more impressed had he done it twice.

Should we gawker-folk add you, then?

Certainly if you accidentally let the sauce drip into your eyes you'd forget about that headache...

So how many of these can I fit on a square, now?

IMO (and, keep in mind I'm both a Mac owner and happy with the little device) Steve wasn't a theoretical visionary like those two, he was far more a industrial visionary like Ford.

Hm, it's been a while since I've messed around with cygwin, but does it still process .lnk files as symlinks or is my memory failing? If so, the shortcut should shorten the gap between how cygwin processes symlinks and how windows does outside of cygwin.

If that's the only place you stay, then why do you need a watch?

My work machine here is running Windows XP, as that's all IT wants on it.

I remember something like that from Verizon in January [cnet.co] but nothing more recent, sorry.
