holy shit!

Aha! This must be the beginning of the end for Facebook as I predicted would happen as soon as I signed up finally last week.

I am the grim reaper of social networks!

My last victim was MySpace when I signed up like a week before everyone started jumping ship and it became My_.

I'd be rolling in my grave also if I was buried alive.

His TED Talk was great:

(the moon stuff is towards the middle/end)

They're also on RocketHub ("crowdfunding"):

I just found out about Bill and his company yesterday. I'm hoping they're successful!

Drive I paid $109 for back in September is now $199 on Newegg.

He was most likely referencing these steps or something similar:

iTunes: How to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service on Mac OS X 10.6.8 or Earlier (google cache)

In which you must reboot then delete an additional file and reboot again.

However as I said in my reply I was able to do it with just 1 reboot before starting the reinstall and it's possible I didn't even need to reboot that time I just wanted to be safe.

FYI when I migrated to my new iMac several months ago my iTunes broke and I had to do those magical instructions however I was able to perform them all at once without the reboot steps. I just rebooted once after killing all the recommended tasks/deleting the files and then I was able to re-install after booting back up and all was fine.

It's possible that may be due to the fact that I turn off certain features (such as iTunes opening when connecting a device) so maybe some extensions/services weren't running on my Mac so I was able to skip the reboot steps.

Just figured I'd mention it if you want to try without having to reboot 3 times.

The company I work for has a hyphen/dash in the URL. Trying to tell someone to go to "w w w foo DASH bar dot com" over the phone is a nightmare!

Them: "What's a dash?"
Me: "A hyphen"
or
Me: "A minus sign"
or
Me: "the key next to the 0"

And then they end up saying they got it but when I tell them to click a link they say they don't see it and I realize they went to www.foobar.com instead of www.foo-bar.com and I end up having to ask if they have an email address so I can send them a link instead.

Oh and then when I have to give out my e-mail address... sigh.

LOL I just started watching this finally over the weekend (15 episodes in). I'm seeing references all over which makes me feel a little insane.
