Got sick last Wed. night, and am still kina sick... super nasty cold that won't quit. I hear this is going around.

I prefer "fluffy fingers." It's effective. RT @normative : Well, that didn't take long: http://bit.ly/91PoXu #ticklefight

@ejacqui The Internet has been changed forever, too. Can you feel it? I can. It's just.... *different*

Re: the HTC suit, a great piece on what's wrong with Apple, written in 11/09. http://bit.ly/3xLEb6. Pass it on.

MSFT should collaborate with Valve to make a SteamOS for netbook gaming.

This Scott Forestall dude has basically patented every minor & major aspect of the modern smartphone: http://bit.ly/dDgpI1

Surprised by Apple suiting HTC for making a better phone? Just wait until someone makes a better tablet ;)

Also, Buzz integrates with Google reader and my browser (via a "Note in reader" button).

I find I'm a lot bigger fan of Buzz than Twitter. Most of what's worth saying is worth spending more than 140 chars on, IMO.

regarding kernel_task, a look at the console log showed me that vmware was loading stuff at boot. I uninstalled, & so far success.

kernel_task, why do you torment my Macbook Air so!!

The plan is to write an open letter: "Dear Apple, please get over yourself and tell us about the A4. I promise we won't laugh..."

Google profiles FTW. I just found someone I was looking for and sent them a message.

SageTV works with 1080p content, MKV, AVI, you name it. Also DTS sound works.

"Article is to magazine as song is to album". Maybe true, maybe not. But if it is, it has big implications for a digital mag transition.
hannibalrex
Attempts to retain the issue as a basic unit of content will fail, IMO. But problem is that issue is also basic unit of pricing & ad inv.

Here's one thing that bothers me about the Wired tablet prototype: ppl won't want to read magazines on an LCD. They'll want 2 read articles.
