Fuck! If you don't know what your own tech is capable of then, yes, you're doing it wrong. And, being concise != smug.

The iPhone keyboard "pops up" the letter you are currently pressing so you can see it above your finger or thumb. You can move your finger around to different letters and the keypress won't register until you lift your finger.

Been there since v. 2.2

Microsoft did not get hit with antitrust violation because it bundled IE with Windows. It got hit because it used it's monopoly position to coerce PC manufacturers to not include competing Web browsers and to prevent the removal of IE from the operating system. I don't see a parallel to Apple here. If you want to use an iPod without iTunes, a simple Google search comes up with a number of options, including this page: http://ask.metafilter.com/40319/Can-I-use-an-iPod-without-the-iTunes-software which describes many ways to do it.

Here's the latest tweet from @whitehouse:

Good Jobs Here at Home: The President offers proposals to curb tax havens and replace tax advantages for creatin.. http://tinyurl.com/cwzcv6

It's basically repeats of what they are posting on the White House Blog at http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/

Isn't General Protection Fault the brother of Colonel Panic?

Ummm... If you just "throw it in your dough" all you are going to get is dough that tastes like pot. It won't get you high. You need to simmer the pot in butter or oil and then use that oil to cook with.

"didn't Apple swipe their docks from NeXT OS"

Actually, Apple purchased NeXT in 1997 for $427 million. OS X was released in 2001.

How you describe it is how OS X works. Most of the time things work as you expect, and sometimes even better than you expect. For the first time yesterday, I dragged an image from a Web page in Firefox to an open Photoshop image and it copied it onto a new layer. Other times it fails, as when I tried to drag and drop a graphic from PowerPoint into an Illustrator window.

Immediate stock price is affected by perception, but the fundamentals drive the price over the long term. Think about this. Say Steve Jobs dies in a few months -- Apple stock tanks in the short term, but three months later, they release better than expected earnings, Macs, iPods and iPhones are still selling at a record pace. The stock will shoot up like it's the second coming. That's not to say that if SJ is gone, Apple might eventually lose market share and the stock price settle, but this immediate drop is not an indicator of anything.

Exactly! My kids love it when I act like a kid. I get to do things I hadn't done in years -- snowball fights, backyard football, flips on the trampoline. And video games! My kids are addicted to Rock Band.

If only there were some way to objectively judge these things.

Then you don't exist. And I don't exist to you, and any debate is meaningless. Maybe that's something you enjoy, but I don't. So I would say to you, enjoy your anonymity, and contribute your meaningless comments.
