Which is why steam for mac builds in defragmenting utils... because Apple sometimes lies just a little.

Was the first album I owned in my life. I've been into goth, rock, industrial and americana, but I've always liked that album... (and Boney M) /duck

Interesting note for those worrying about mercury in CFLs; incandescents pollute more mercury overall:

I've been using either CFL or LED bulbs for some time. I prefer the LEDs as a cheaper/cleaner (better) long-term solution. They are also safer (does not shatter, no mercury), but sometimes not as bright.

Google Labs pre-caching works well for me too...

Strangely enough this is not a problem on Google Maps with the addition of a Labs feature where you can download several 25 square mile blocks and save them locally in the case that you're off the grid. This should be enough for anyone. Also I own both a Garmin Nuvi and a Nexus S, and have not used the Garmin in ages…

V 2.0's networking module does not work anymore on newer Macs. Which is why I bought v 3.0. (It's worth it... much better than MenuMeters)

iStat Menu version 2.0 is free, although it has problems detecting the network cards on newer Macs. Personally I really love it and bought the latest version (iStat Menu 3.0).

They maintain that they want to make the streaming service "better" etc. But for all it's strengths the instant streaming service never have the really good movies on and that does not seem to be changing. Which basically leaves me to have to get the DVD service as well. I do not see how their apology about splitting…

"Managing your Music" is a concept only needed if you need to limit the amount of music you can listen to on your device. By using Google Music I don't really have that limitation. I upload/sync my entire music library (I still use iTunes locally) to Google Music, and then I link my Google Music account to my default…

Beetle haters gonna hate...

Oh, and finally some Android love... woo!

Parallels 6 has been good to me... I've been tearing through some pretty nice high-end games (Mass Effect 2, Bioshock 2 and now Fallout 3 New Vegas), and have been more than pleased with the level of performance. (With some caveats in getting them to run sadly)
