Up to this point their "watch instant" offerings have been pretty weak. This could be a tipping point for subscription-based video download services.

Wear a plastic rain poncho under and over your shirt.

This is the 21'st century. On a micro scale, I think we'll see more people using craigslist and e-bay over amazon and the mall. We can expect new homebrew firmware to enhance old hardware, more efficient and effective Linux distros to resurrect old hardware, or postpone upgrades.

A lot of new covered catboxes have charcoal filters that neutralize most of the smell.

@CK: This one is pretty clear-cut. Wacom if you can afford one, something else if you can't.

@RenRen: just microsoft's

It also supports silverlight, which could come in handy if you're ever on the silverlight website.

Any mouse not made by apple.

Media coder has a pretty robust UI that actually displays a command line window at the bottom for reuse in scripts or whatever. It uses ffmpeg, but I can't remember if the commands it gives are for ffmpeg directly, or media coder.

This feature works decently, but you'll never get your panos as clean as dedicated tools. It will apply perspective transformations to images to get them to fit, but it wont interpolate between common points, so there are still obvious seams. Most of this can be overcome with a little clone brush work.

XUL.

Suddenly Chrome is sounding a lot better.

@Darkmatter91: Macs "just work". This painful how-to exemplifies why we don't, and can't live in a world where OS X isn't tied to hardware.

@A3sthetix: I just saw the last line on your comment. Looks like you're already on the up and up.

@A3sthetix: Drive images are your friend. It is basically a snapshot of your drive. You'll keep all your programs, drivers, files, and tweaks.

I've been using this a for while on my phone (AT&T Tilt) and it is pretty helpful. Downtown it pegs me within half a block. In the suburbs I'll usually land within a quarter mile - more than enough for doing local searches. It tracks well enough for a pseudo-gps experience, minus the turn-by-turn.

At first glance I thought this was an article on duplicating cleaner ferrets. Too bad, since ferrets are generally filthy.

@RenRen: Scheduling and weekly reviews are important aspects of GTD methodology. Scheduling lets you keep your mind on the task at hand, because the other stuff on your list has a proper time for action. Weekly reviews allow you to reassess your priorities and take a big picture look at what's on your plate.

@ShadowBottle: Because nobody wants my Oklahoma History book from last semester when the course requires the $120 new edition. Half priced books has a surplus of that stuff and you're lucky to get a dime.

I've had problems in the past with audio syncing when joining larger videos with mediacoder. Can anyone vouch for how well this works on joining movie rips?
