People continue to get all highbrow on others choices, so I thought I'd provide a link to the comment in which I smacked y'all down but good. So there.

I'm sick of the free software hippies. You'd think they were singling out Apple because Apple was the most culpable player in their little free-the-software drama, but that's not really it. They complain about Apple because they can get a headline out of it, and people pay attention—because Apple has high profile,…

Actually the thing that made Preview H. O. T in Leopard is the ability to resize images—finally! I mean, it had everything, including a pretty sophisticated color correction scheme—but no resizing. Anyway, now that it has this feature it's value and utility increased by 100%.

Word up.

To each his or her own, I say. But some haters of "intact" iPhones suffer from the same inflated sense of importance and tech elitism as Slashdot readers do. The ones who said the iMac would sell better if it had four PCI slots. The ones who proclaimed the iPod "lame" because it didn't have as many gigabytes as a…

Hey, it works!

Update: the application of the new software takes like 20 minutes. After that, you're prompted that the phone is rebooting. THEN you're asked to restore it from a backup or set it up as a "new" phone. I chose the backup. (No, I didn't have to create the back up beforehand, it was just there.) Then the phone…

Note: if you download this file it will be named .ipfw.zip. Do not extract the zip file, simply remove the .zip from its name. THEN hold down the option key in iTunes when checking for update and guide it to the file.

@SEMW: So I guess you can see that I truly don't have any inside info—or even much outside info!

I don't have any inside information at all, but I would suspect that Adobe has no reason to prevent Microsoft or anyone else from using the format they invented. On the other hand, Microsoft has a good reason not to include it in the standard Office install: PDF is a competitor format for Microsoft's own proprietary…

To those who are knocking choices such as Harry Potter, I would like you to know that I read each and every one of the Potter books aloud to my children. This experience—spanning several years of course—is one of the most cherished memories of my life. I expect my kids feel the same. When we started, they were mere…

I myself can't log in. I wonder if it's because I'm a hosted account using my own domain, rather than an @gmail.com email address. There have been other occasions where rollouts and other updates come ever so slowly to us hosted folks.

Excellent article! Maybe I'll try it myself this week.

Here's what's coming to mind today:

Great advice, especially for people like me who haven't sprung for vibration control lenses.

Neat idea! I've had a hard time finding a place in my life for Twitter, but something like this might actually make it more interesting to me.

Microsoft dragged their feet for years and years to make their own Mac email client—Entourage—Exchange compliant. Who can blame Apple for wanting to bridge the gaps that Microsoft seems to have no interest in, even for their own customers.

One page is the threshold for me. Generally, I'll be concise, stick to one page, and call it a resume. If I feel like I need to go more than one page (or they ask for it) I make an exhaustive document and call it a curriculum vitae.

HP Service Desk—a terrible, terrible application that I run because I must for work. And that's it. Nothing else even tempts me.

@shrini: because they admire my ingenuity and chutzpa.
