    @somewhiteguy: I like facebook, and I don't see what the big deal is. With FB, I can easily share photos with friends and check up on them. I don't post anything I wouldn't want on the internet (duh), and I don't mess with games or most apps. Sure, I'd rather FB be open source, and some of their practices are

    I use instapaper for anything that I hope to read later, and everything else I try to close out once a day (except the dozen tabs that are always open).

    I'm not buying a computer that's not a computer. I want to be able to install my own software and not have to buy everything through apple.

    Does it work with Last.fm?

    What does "do not use defagment" etc mean? Does that just mean that you can't just defrag that drive or that you can't defrag the hd at all anymore? It sounds like the former, which makes sense, but it'd be nice to have some specifics.

    @Xagest: The 8k massively slowed down your return. It could be another month or even more. The IRS didn't even start checking those returns until mid February.

    @TehBeardMan: I switched to tea when I got out of college because of the acidity and the aftertaste. Lately I've been drinking more coffee, though, because I miss it.

    @tweezy: You just need to sign up for a beta copy with swype. They'll immediately give you a link for a new copy.

    @lewisboy: Plus dropbox can be pretty intensive for older computers. I wonder if this program is a solution for that.

    @Cam Jamieson: You can using symlinks. Search the dropbox site for it. And at some point they're going to make it so you can do this natively, but it might be next year or later.

    RSS is totally different than looking at the front page of a website. What a stupid decision.

    I wish they'd spend less time explaining and more time squashing bugs. I've missed a lot of calls this week because voice just didn't send them to my phone (I verified at one point by calling myself from a landline), and the lack of MMS is HUGE as I'm tired of telling people that I didn't get their message and wasn't

    I hate four square with a passion. I could not f**king care less if you're the queen of burger king, or whatever. And if I wanted to know where you were, I'd say "Hey, where are you?"

    @Jay Beezy: I spent some time cleaning out my tabs last night. Now I'm down to 15. That's waaaay fewer than usual.

    @Bootes: Yeah, but lala just got bought by apple. How much longer will it be around?

    @sassafras_: Because then you have to have a sever instead of having a server in the cloud.

    @mattburris01: Dropbox can stream all you want in combo with Moozone, which has apps and is free with DB.

    Making them in the oven can be incredibly messy, though, because chicken splatters. I wonder if he has a cure for that, too.

    @ahawks: Since I have an N1, I can tell you that you're *totally* right to lust after it. It really is an awesome phone.

    Don't forget taxes. Freelancers have to pay SE tax in addition to income tax, and that always hurts. And after the first year, you have to pay estimated taxes, too.
