The only thing my Droid Incredible hasn't replaced is my iPod Classic. The 8GB of storage that came with the Droid is just not enough to make it a primary music player, and the expandable card slot is Micro SD, which is pretty expensive to upgrade. I think I also benefit from having a separate music device with its…

There will always be a place for complex and powerful tools. But it's never one of them that wins the market. It's the simple, elegant, intuitive app that doesn't just tell you, but shows you, why you need it and how it can make your life easier. The one that you don't need to consult a manual while using. The one…

Based on ihakes' comment above, it looks like XP is just missing the location for the tray icon. You can either change the location, or just cut the line entirely. The script should still function as long as there are no other issues.

HTML, my friend. It looks like this -

He explained why at the top of his comment. :-/

Try this or this. :)

What did you see as red herrings, out of curiosity?

While I think that's a trivial and nonsensical reason not to watch a television show, you may be encouraged to learn that "Starbuck" is the character's military callsign, not her name.

Ahh, it's nice to get a breath of fresh air like this. :) There are definitely some choices I would have made differently. But in the end, I can't imagine that a more detailed explanation of "God" and the metaphysical threads woven through the story would have made for a better approach. Indeed, it would have…

Yes. :)

There's a little indicator light underneath the dock icon. Or, rather, there used to be - the newest version of OS X turns it off by default, thereby ensuring that thousands of people will leave all their applications running all the time, for absolutely no reason, and not even know it.

For a power user? Less than an hour. Most of this stuff comes pre-made; the most (relatively) time-consuming part will be setting up your dock items and changing the icons.

I don't believe there's any conspiracy against Microsoft around here, but you make good points about the Windows features in here. I suppose the Mac emulations are remarkable to the extent that Ubuntu has functioned as a close relative of Windows XP for most of its heyday. But credit where credit is due: Ubuntu's…

Glad you're using the Launchy skin. :)

I'm still on board with the idea that when I go to a website, I go to the site. I have no ownership over that site, nor am I entitled to use it in my preferred way. The only part of the exchange that I own is my data; if Google Docs started slipping ads into my college papers, I'd be pissed. But the app is theirs. I'm…

I know how it works. I've just never found a use for it. And I find it misleading, in a way, because the Mac OS interface paradigm is built on objects and spacial relationships, so it's strange that the "app" is not strictly bound to the window, its 'physical' representation, as it is in Windows. The idea of an app…

I'm not sure why I would want an app taking up resources when I'm not using it. The only advantage I can see is decreasing load times, but that's hardly an issue these days for anything smaller than Photoshop and other apps of that scale.

Just drag and drop into the Chrome window.

This is cool. Ubuntu/GNOME had started to feel a little stale, a little last-generation OS, especially after spending time with Windows 7. They seem to be drawing inspiration from the best new innovations of their competitors and putting a new spin on them, which is exciting to see. (A side-mounted dock/taskbar as the…
