Replying to approve.

You could also just use Google Music which is free and will work if you can't connect to your computer for whatever reason.

A lot of people keep their computer on. The only time my dekstop is off is when it's rebooting to switch OSes.

Maybe. IIRC, their uploads and downloads are terribly slow. May work to keep machines in sync if the files are already on both (if it works like Dropbox).

Have you started using Siri? That may be it.

Psh. ICS is already booting on this. It's nice that CM7 is working (it'll probably be done faster than ICS), but when I get my Kindle Fire, I'll just wait for ICS if I install a custom ROM.

"in cast is isn't" should be "in case it isn't" on the timestamp tip.

I can't think of a single device where you wouldn't root to install another ROM. I don't own a Nook Color, so it could be different, but how do you get into recovery? In my time with only one Android device, I was under the impression all devices required root to install a custom ROM due to it being the way you get…

If it's like Chrome, just drop the file on top of a browser window and it should install it.

That's what it seems like. That seems inefficient. You shouldn't need to wait for the folder to open. *Every* other OS doesn't do that.

It has to be rooted to flash a custom ROMs. All custom ROMs have root access making them "rooted". I agree it's not jailbroken though.

Depends on the ROM you're running. I haven't heard of any problems with the Nook Color.

You have no idea how much I shuddered after seeing that desktop...

Throw a Linux distro on it that supports PPC (I think Debian does). It's not Chrome OS-like, but you could have a fast machine for web browsing. Just have the web browser start at boot.

The only reason I use one on Windows is because of the amount of viruses. Mac (which I don't own) and Linux have so few, I don't even think of AV when considering what to install. The only reason for an AV on Linux is if it's communicating with a lot of Windows boxes (specifically via email) and it's more to protect…

Depends on the user. The kind of people that visit Lifehacker probably don't need one because Mac viruses are rarer and they probably don't visit iffy sites. I'd throw an antivirus on my dad's Mac if he had one, but I wouldn't myself. The only reason I myself run AV on my Windows partition is because it's so heavily…

Well Norton is a slow, lagging pile of crap anyway. I don't even consider it an antivirus program. I personally use MSE when I have to (barely am in Windows).

Depends. A bundle that I think of right away when "bundle" is mentioned is the Humble Indie Bundle. Those are great deals for a pack of indie games.

It was officially released a few days ago. It's the stable build.

I'm not going to comment on my Rubik's cube status because it's embarrassing.
