I put on It's Complicated Being a Wizard by Portugal the Man, sit in my recliner, headphones on loud enough to drown out all distractions but not loud enough to make me deaf. Lights are dimmed or just turned off. A cup of coffee, beer, or gimlet in hand. By the end of the song, I am feeling great about everything…

@Ah Yes: I have the smaller chrome messenger bag and use it as a camera bag. It is awesome in the sense that it is not that bulky, easy to put on/take off, and I don't have to worry about my gear when it's in there. Also it has the added benefit of not looking like a camera bag. I use a Timbuk2 Blogger bag,…

@thechansen: Opps meant recovery

@crazyhead: It helps if you spell his name right. Relapse was one of the featured new releases when I looked.

@smblues: Rdio is a cock tease. It's like you are playing the "just the tip" game with it everytime you search for a song. It scanned my perfectly tagged iTunes library, found only half of my 12000 songs and then proceeded to tell me that half of the half it found was available but only as sample clips. They will…

On a side note, if Apple has any plans to go with iTunes in the cloud I suggest they hurry. The market is becoming crowded, and it's only a matter of time before someone strikes it big with one of these services. Also every looks forward to the US debut of Spotify but I have to question why? The service seemed no…

@GrumpySteen: There is a genuine need, but what I am arguing is someone with the need for this power, would be better served by a desktop.

Ok, I jumped in with out learning how to play and got my ass kicked. After 2 games vs the computer I get how the pieces work when placed in cities, roads, and grasslands. Also now I am addicted.

@Héctor Eduardo Luna: @theenemysgateisdown: Both of you are missing my point. From a business and usabilty stand point, a desktop machine would be cheaper and easier to work on, and the tasks involved would be much easier accomplished on a larger display. Why spend $10k on a laptop when you can use a desktop that's…

I really have to question the need for this. Yes you can run a ton of virtual servers, yes you can certainly use it for rendering, but again, why a laptop? I couldn't image doing those tasks on anything less than a 24 inch or even better multiple 24 inch displays. Other than testing, why run a server on a portable?

This Phantom Zero is based in Northern NJ eh? I'll have to pull some strings at the Guild of Calamitous Intent, but I'll totally arch this bastard. Phantom Zero, you will regret this day! It will start with slowly letting the air out of your tires, 5 psi a day. I'll start leeching your wifi, and I'll seed every…

Remember when Motorola and Verizon gave out actual bandaids to deal with the battery door issue on the Droid? Good times.

If you go to Zagg.com and enter to win an iPad, they will send you a coupon. This coupon will range from 10% to 50% off and it's good for three items. I suggest you take a look at the Zaggsparq 2.0, it can fully charge an iPhone 4 times, can charge two USB devices at the same time and take a dead iPad up to 60%. …

Sweet that they are making a commercial product but my $200 atom/ion is all the boxee box I need. And I can use emulators on it!

I thought jobs was going to break a glass bottle and stab somebody during the Q&A.

@jerNELS: I don't normally use the Linux or Windows 7 boxes for everyday web browsing (I would honestly say that is split between my iPhone and iPad) but xmark seems nice enough to just keep everything nice and uniform.

It's a shame I use Safari and Chrome for all my browsing needs. Chrome is on my Linux, Win 7 and Mac machines and gets the most use. An Apple script keeps my favorites synced between the two when ever MobileMe syncs.

@Stem_Sell: I always thought GaGa was the daughter of Orly. WHO KNEW?

The first few levels I was all like "oh this is easy, hardly a puzzle game". It is no longer easy. The introduction of new tonic colors an monsters through out the game keeps it fresh and challenging.
