I recall Egyptian protesters throwing large rocks at their military thus provoking a brutal response. Also, Egyptians are bitching their asses off and rightfully so. Do you watch any international news channels? This officer would have been smashed in the face with a brick in other parts of the world by one of these…

100% agree!!! Causing clusters of cells on a person's cornea to detach is a completely appropriate response to someone who is blocking a sidewalk. I mean, I bet that all campus foot traffic must flow directly on that sidewalk which was constructed through an open field with hundreds of feet of open space on either…

Simplenote, and by extension nvALT

Mine isn't yellow at all. The yellowing issue on Apple displays has been talked about before ad nauseum and everybody knows it's a temporary issue. Beyond that the viewing angle is great. I think some people just like to complain about anything, even if they're beating a dead horse.

I hate to burst bubbles but this year will be Whitney not Wilma. It would have been a Wilma year but she was retired in favor of Whitney since she was a particularly grumpy hurricane.

No mention of viruses or trojans? They missed some great joke opportunities.

"In case you've installed a driver that was faulty and it is causing problems that are preventing you from logging in."

CMD+W closes the currently focused window. That one is a biggie.

I'm in the same boat with football. I wish there were ways to get football online. My MLB.TV suggestion is to ask a friend in another state to signup with their billing info and credit card. Just mail them a check for the reimbursement and you're all set with watching home market games. Not sure if they can detect…

I cancelled my cable subscription months ago and never looked back. In fact, I've watched more TV as a result by finally making good use of Netflix and Hulu+. I never realized how funny Arrested Development, Parks and Recreation, and The Office really are. Unfortunately though I'm going to have to reinstate my cable…

The beginning of the end Jesus? Just like OS X Lion is Apple's Vista?

The OEM Apple iPhone dock is no good for this purpose?

Wow. Greedy fucks.

Forklift has this built in and works great in addition to all the other cool stuff it can do.

Skip Notational Velocity and lookup nvAlt. It's built on Notational Velocity but does a few more really important things such as sync tags with Simplenote.

If that's the look you want just use a Mac. Doing this to XP is like polishing a turd.

I'm all for protecting children but a law such as this is an utter outrage. How long will American citizens stand by and watch their right to privacy systematically destroyed by their elected officials? Once upon a time information gathering such as this required a warrant. Shame on you America and shame on you House…

For 750GB in a MBA we may be waiting the rest of the decade. Or damn close to it. For this same reason I am content with my MBP for now.
