I've been a bad linux fan lately. Been using windows exclusively.

That'd be awesome to see. Not sure if it's really worth staying up till 4AM though. I have class early tomorrow. #outdoors

I'd like to be crazy about portable apps, but the only real, frequent use I have for them would be at school, and exe's are blocked from running on a flash drive.

I recently decided to try foobar2000, since so many people here at lifehacker seem to like it. However, while I don't like bloat, foobar2000 just seems too simple for me.

Yeah, I think I'm definitely one of the go to google when there's a doodle people. :)

@JCMasterpiece: I had same problem. Be sure to run as administrator. Worked for me after that.

I live with my parents, so it's not really my choice, and I do find myself sitting in front of the tv, for convenience/social family time, if nothing else.

Yeah, I think I'd rather just put up with the scratch, rather than potentially make it worse. I'm not sure I even have non-gel toothpaste.

Depends on your definition of "watch", really.

I've been trying lately to just remember all my passwords, and changing them once in a while to help that effort. Because I can have them saved on my laptop all I want, but if I don't have my laptop at school, and have to use the computers there, chances are there's at least a few I don't remember at all, so now I'm…

@Ryan Bartlett: I immediately assumed the son used the mac, because I figured it seemed more likely that someone younger would use it. (Not always true, though. I'm 20 and don't really prefer the mac.)

Interesting how it was so close. I guess I really need to try them all!

This is a really nice design. It's inspired me to get serious about my desktop customizations again. It does seem like a lot of these desktops that monitor system info and time do become useless once a window is opened.

Strange video, but I must admit, the song is catchy. I'm still singing it!

Beat the heat? What heat? We have barely reached into the 80s lately here in PA. Can't complain I guess, it's comfortable.

At first I thought the whole "Back to Beta" Labs feature was a little silly. Then I actually logged in and saw the logo change. Doesn't change much I guess. But if I stop and think, I've been with Gmail since very close to the beginning. I can see how people might be very sad.

@Brain.wav: Yeah, same here. To each his own, I suppose, but I think I actually find this way more annoying. I usually have it set up so the tab bar is not showing if there's only one tab, actually.

My handwriting is pretty bad, unless I take my time. But how many things do we still use handwriting for? Only thing I can think of at the moment that anyone else will actually see is maybe a quick note for someone else around the house. Everything else, with exceptions, seems to be typed, so who cares, really.

This is great news, and I'm all for extensions, but I really hope Linux/Mac versions come soon...
