I didn't even know Hotmail still existed. I stopped using it last century.

Obligatory Airplane/Zero Hour reference.

@EnochLight: Oh absolutely, all props to Propellerheads for starting the trend; I used it back in the day myself, but soon became a FruityLoops convert around version 3 or so. Now it's become my primary DAW, but it's awesome having all these iPad-centric or enhanced music apps on the go. I still find it hard to…

@EnochLight: That's fine if you're big into acid house. I don't mind a bit of it here and there — early 808 State (late 80s Newbuild/Quadrastate era) isn't too shabby, though I'm a little biased for liking 808 in general. But to be quite honest, I just can't take too much 303-over-drumlines like that. It gets…

@EnochLight: Seriously? ReBirth is incredibly limited by comparison. All it does is TB-303 and TR-909 emulation with a few effects units. It's fine if all you want is some drums and a couple of acid lines, but that's the extent of its capability. iMS-20 is a completely tweakable analog synth with effects…

It should be noted, if it hasn't been already, that this is the last day for the introductory price on Korg iMS-20. It goes up to $32.99 tomorrow, so anyone who wants it grab it, like, now-ish. It's a fantastic bit of musical kit.

The good ol' days. I got on the Internet back around 1993 through a shell account and was following press releases and announcements about a particular forthcoming game console at the time and cross-posting them to a local BBS. It was also great for the few E-mags that were around at the time.

@SilentAssassn87: I was trying to avoid the old joke, but since you brought it up...

Pizza Hut does the same thing. They don't offer "ground beef" as a topping. They offer "beef topping."

Grounded beef is beef that has not been given clearance for takeoff or isn't allowed to go out on a school night because it was caught smoking weed behind the portables. Ground beef, on the other hand, is either beef that has been shoved through a grinder, or something subject to the 5-second rule.

Steve would eat it.

Why? Seriously, what the hell? When you get a call, you'll either already be wearing the thing, in which case you'll have to take it off, throttle it, and put it back on (while the call is in progress, so don't fumble), or you won't have it on, in which case you'll have to pick it up, throttle it, and put it on,…

I sort of assumed that these multitouch gestures would have been exclusive to the iPad anyway. I couldn't possibly see Apple baking this into the iPhone/Touch builds for the very reason this article exists. It also gives Apple another thing to differentiate the iPad with, as they do tend to like having certain clear…

I'm confused. All caps, coloured, bolded text is usually reserved for nutjobs. (See: Timecube Guy, et al.) But Scott isn't a nutjob. He's just another Steve Warshak. Actually, he isn't even that — at least Steve had something to market, even if it was complete bullshit. Scott doesn't even have that. He just…

@jybook: This is basically an extreme version of the Mpemba Effect. It's not steam.

@kyre: I'm thinking they're using the medical definition here (developing or forming), though I've never heard it applied to plants.

"plants are 'very plastic and resilient'"

@LY_NX: I'm going to sue him because his crappy grammar made my hemorrhoids flare up.

@Bramsey89: You can try, but unless you luck out and get your complaint heard by a judge who's just as batshit insane as you are, you'll be licking the courthouse steps as the judge throws you and your complaint straight out the door.

So, was that the iPhone saying, "This content is currently unavailable"?
