It's a matter of making a judgment call as to whether the people around you are going to be annoyed with you, and whether you care or not. I really don't find it that hard to gauge — don't know why anyone else would either.

I see this as google admitting that nobody gives a crap about Wave. It's too similar to our e-mail to be useful to a mainstream audience, and nobody uses it... so the only way they have to get people to even bother checking their accounts is to send it to their email accounts.

Does anyone know — if I use this on media files I've downloaded via bittorrent, will the compression keep my BT client from being able to seed them properly? I feel like it probably would, but I figured I'd ask on the off chance it would actually work.

In my family, I've grown up watching my relatives ask their parents (my grandparents) time and time again for advice on this sort of thing. It seems like it's been a great resource, especially since my grandparents own rental houses they upkeep — finding someone older than you is a great way to get time tested advice,…

I think it's pretty cool but can't quite stomach the idea of a desktop modification app that costs as much as my operating system (Snow Leopard) does. Not to say that $29 is a fortune, but one the great things about OS X is the abundance of really good freeware... I'd definitely think about buying this, but it seems…

My last big complaint about chrome now that there's extension support is the fact that there's no way to use offline gmail, docs or calendar in Chrome in Snow Leopard. Google Gears supports Firefox in Snow Leopard, but to use Gears with Chrome, Google insists you use the standalone installed, which caps off at 10.5.x.…

@infmom: So go to a thrift store and get the scratched out records they have there. Go go garage sales. Look around on trash day. Seriously, there's plenty of options.

@infmom: I work next to a record shop and plenty of times there are records in the dumpster that have been ruled scratched beyond playable, or are just crap nobody wants — old Christmas compilations and whatnot. It's not as though you have to do this with records that have life left in them.

What I find really weird are the little places where IE 6 spikes. I know they're not significant spikes, but I still wonder what they are.

This sounds really cool but the link at the end doesn't seem to actually link to the full article. Can we get that fixed?

Since when does Gears not support Snow Leopard? My Macbook is definitely running 10.6.2 and has Gears installed... the Gears homepage says it requires 1o.4+, nothing about not supporting 1o.6.
