@wickedcupofjoe: You could get your last name as the domain name, and your email address would be erin@yourlastname.com. My email is like that, kind of. My last name was taken in all tlds at the time, so I went with [mail.com] as my domain, and rick as my email. My kids have their first names at mail.com, and they…

What's really going on here is that Google is trying to get you to stand in one spot long enough after you hit that button so the closest Google Street View car can come snap your picture.

Saw a commerical version of this that was dishwasher safe for around $30 in Bed Bath and Beyond last week ([www.bedbathandbeyond.com]). I might go that way, as I like the fact that it's dishwasher safe, and that it has a tilt too it. (I know that a tilt would be easy to add, and that if you put your knives away…

@dchall8: OSX is Darwin based, not Linux based. But I'm picking nits here, as I'm sure you meant to say it's the best Unix implementation for a desktop.

@Yinzers Are People Too: I think that shinkage can refer to either. You have to take it in context.

Let's get real people. Wal-Mart doesn't have greeters. Those people have two job functions. First, they are looking for product coming into the store so it can be marked as such and directed towards customer service. This helps stop shrinkage. Second, they are there to check receipts on the way out to make sure…

Just a nit to pick. Doesn't the license for the Mac OS only allow it to be installed on Apple hardware?

@Phoshi: I agree. Each OS has a different feel to it. Stick to it. Theme it up with your own custom buttons, but leave the layout alone.

@deanhatescoffee: I agree, and find the commercial wars funny. "We have more 3G!" "Our 3G is faster, and you can talk and surf at the same time."

I don't have 3G, or a 3G phone, but if I were going to, I'd go with Verison first. I'll take a slower connection and know that the cities I travel to are more likely to have any kind of 3G coverage. Verison's network is slower, but much bigger.

As Joey Tribbiani on "Friends" once said (when asked about the girl at the copy store or jelly donuts), "Put your hands together, my friend." I'll take more screens that are bigger, please.

I really don't like TB3. It doesn't open the Compose New Email in a new tab, but a new window. My RSS feeds used to look like the web sites they came from, now they look like crap. And one of them, NASA's image of the day, doesn't even display the picture. It's an attachment that I have to double click. I'm really…

To me, Thuderbird 3 is a step backwards. Yes, it looks better, but my RSS feeds display poorly. Under 2 they displayed as webpages, now they display as RSS feeds pages. One of them, which is an image of the day, doesn't display the image without having to double click on it.

I use TB 2.whatever for email and RSS. I HATE accessing my email via the web. Don't know why, just do. I think it's that I have a habit of closing my web browsers down, and don't like having to keep one, or a tab in one, open all the time.

WOW! Lot's of early adopters for Windows 7! #operatingsystems

I'm sure that WHS is all that and a bag of chips, but it has one major fail. $92. What I want on my network is basically a network storage device. For me, that means I download one of a number of Linux distros for that, install it, and then configure it from my web browser. I will admit that I am more tech savvy…

@BAGiTMAN: So many jokes to make about that last comment. Must restrain myself. #portableapplications

@Kevin Purdy: Unless you configure them to. But, to be honest, the point of this is that your stuff stays secure, so booting to a live distro that saves your settings wouldn't be too smart, would it.

I have a master lock mini that I know the combination to. The last number is 9, so I should be able to go to that diagram and find right set of numbers in it, but I can't. The first and second rows don't even list the first and second number of my combination.

Since the list of emails/passwords came from phishing sites, isn't it possible that people were putting in 123456 as a way of giving away a password that wasn't real? Did anyone look at those six accounts and see if 123456 was their actual passwords?
