@chronic_phobia: Except, it is just a big iPod touch. Same uses, same features, same operating system, same programs. There are only a few, purely software differences.

I'm a pretty big fan of Windows Live Skydrive. When I need to send things to family and friends, that's what I tend to use.

@GlennA: That's a good way of looking at it (Squirrels/Nuts).

@jaden: That is something I'd actually want to see. A top five backup list for Linux and Windows.

@GlennA: It's good for some things. I've been using it for a couple of years (strange to say that).

Vote: Duplicity/Time Drive (Linux), Time Machine (Mac), Windows 7 Backup (Windows)

@Sov13t: Put shortly, no. It doesn't look like it is. A quick Google search turned up three different papers that describe the methods and detection software used for it, all of them by Synaptic, some dating back to the mid-90s. If anyone has a patent on it, it's them.

@sweenish: Ditto, works great for me as well. And Moonlight on Linux seems to be okay for most things (still not quite compatible with Netflix, but I heard that full compatability with Silverlight is a very high development goal).

@MrMusic: There's lots of sites that use it. One of the libraries I use for research has it integrated into their catalogs, it's actually very nice. And the Olympics site used it, as does the BBC and Netflix.

@ronproctor001: That's a fantastic idea, and one I hadn't thought of. Moreover, while a phone call might be useful in complaints, a transcript is so much better.

This makes me happy. The one thing that I've missed since dropping iPhone is podcast sync. I'll have to take a look at DoubleTwist.

@mattgeldin: Two different programs. Zotero is mostly about organizing and later citing information. Evernote is mostly about organizing miscellaneous stuff. It doesn't have any of the citation or bibliography features. If you work in academics or routinely write formal documentation, Zotero is a life saver.

@jeremy_mccurdy: Which is a pity. Why is Chrome considered so wonderful? I've given it a try on three separate occassions and there just isn't anything that would convince me to give up Firefox. Javascript isn't even that much faster.

@Leszek: No problem, I happen to share the bias. (I come from engineering and you get laughed at if you use Word.) I would love to see LaTeX used more widely (or even for LyX to be adopted en masse). But once you have an entrenched heavyweight, it's very hard to get people to move to another option. There's…

@Leszek: Thanks for the heads up. I primarily use Mendeley for its BibTeX support. But I am also tied to Word/OpenOffice, however, due to to the publishing conventions of Medical/Biological Sciences journals. Its either use the Word templates provided by the journals or spend hours modifying the available document…

@lolism: You might consider taking a look at LyX/LaTeX. I've found serious writing in Pages to be all but impossible for anything over a few pages. (It does a terrible job with footnotes, FYI.)

@Leszek: I've been using Mendeley and Zotero together. Zotero is used to acuire references and Mendeley is used to organize them.

@luckycharms: Zotero is awesome, but it doesn't support BibTeX very well. That weakness can be overcome, however, through the use of another mangaer called Mendeley. Mendeley can be set up so that it syncs with the Zotero database. Thus, you use Zotero to acquire new references and for non-PDF content, Mendely to…
