Seriously they did? Link?

I think it's too late for Firefly. Most of the cast is off doing other shows under contract and Joss is doing movies and you know...it's just been too long. Same goes for Arrested Development. But there are other more recently canceled shows that are due for pickup! Dollhouse is still fresh! And Party Down! Or Better…

Now Netflix... why don't you buy the rights to Party Down? We were all watching it through Netflix Instant anyway!

On the Kindle, having the dark colored version actually improves readability, making the e-ink contrast feel more prominent and the "light grey" background seem more "white". Same with the black Nook Color (and that's an IPS LCD like the iPad)

Ah yeah, that would do it.

I steep that long and I'm guessing there won't be much difference as the result from a French Press. I'll try it anyway because I have nothing better to do. xD

I develop professionally as well. Although the SESSION functions will work without cookies, (that's exactly why it was designed) everything works so much prettier when the cookies ARE there. Doesn't fugly up the GET or POST headers.

What? The Nook Color is a standard Micro B USB - same plug I've had on my last two smartphones, and a dozen other peripherals. Charges whether I've got it plugged into the computer or the wall. (albeit slowly from the computer)

What ROM are you using right now? I've been fairly happy with CM7 Nightly 15, but the thing I use the most, Google Reader, is still borked. Lack of DSP Video is annoying too.

My Droid is the same way. Can only swap the MicroSD if you pull the battery (though that's probably a good thing - forces the user to power off and dismount the filesystem properly)

I hate the steering wheel mounted AUTO shifters. I always pull/push past the gear I want. Floor shifters are the best.

The MicroSD slot on the Nook Color is as annoying as death. To remove/insert a card properly, you almost always have to have a screwdriver or some kind of shiv because your finger won't fit in the space to release the spring mechanism. I'm guessing they didn't want people to be removing the MicroSD card regularly to…

So basically what will happen is:

Tried inverted method this morning. Not a huge knock-your-socks-off difference, but an improvement all the same. I knew it wasn't steeping long enough. Thanks for the tips, Matt & BeardMan

Woop. Somebody's server got Gizmodo'd.

I kind of wish Microsoft would ditch their in-house media distribution service (the Zune store) and partner with one of the existing giants. Specifically I want them to partner with Amazon. It's the only way they're going to seriously take on iTunes. But mostly I just want official Amazon Video support on my Xbox.

I stay away from microwaves as much as humanly possible. So if you don't have a steamer, the best hot foamy milk machine I have found is this:

It totally depends on what I'm buying. With a computer, the obligatory mouse and keyboard that ship with the main unit are pointless because I always use my own. But at the same time, they are nice to have as spares or to give away.

With my AeroPress, I've noticed that a significant amount of water starts leaking through before I start plunging. (Like, within 5 seconds the water level will have dropped from 3 to 2) Is this normal? Doesn't seem like it would steep properly this way. Maybe my grind is too coarse/fine?

For the Northern Midwest, where it can be particularly difficult to find locally roasted beans - especially if you live in a more rural community like myself - I highly recommend SpecialtyJava.com out of Minnesota. They roast your beans the morning after you order, ship it that day, and your beans usually arrive…
