  1. Awwww. Do I have too? on Real Feels iTunes Backlash · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's almost like when you were a kid and were about to run off with your friends and go play in the woods/creek/abandoned wherehouse and your mom made you take your little brother. But you didn't want to take your little brother because he'd get hurt and screw up your fun - but of course mom won and you had to take your little brother along so he wouldn't feel excluded.

    And he got hurt, ruined all of your fun AND got you blamed for it.

    I think that if I were Apple, I'd be damn scared that Real was going to bust all the damn iPods and I'd get blamed for it.

  2. Re:Everyone knows on Alabama IT Whistleblower Fired For Spyware · · Score: 1

    Well, I'll be damned.

    I did my research and you're right. Good work - you've kept me from perpetuating an incorrect urban myth.

    Now, where the hell did I hear "Blue"?

    governorbobriley@governor.state.al.us - "In Birmingham, they love the gov'nor - Hoo Hoo..."

    OT, but the actauly lyric is "In Birmingham, they love the Gov'ner - Blue, Blue..."

    Which was the nickname of the govener of Burmingham at the time. It caused quite a stir at the time as people also heard "Boo Boo" and were confused as Lynyrd Skynyrd was a supporter of said Gov.

    Again, OT but it's the only trivia i know ;)

  4. Playlists! on Turn your iPod into a Universal Remote · · Score: 1

    Ok, the hack is pretty lame but the potential is cool.

    For instance, you could create a playlist that turned on/off all of your equipment in a certain order - add to that: volume, channel defaults, recording options, xbox setting, dvd setting...

    Add in a IR x10 system and you could Dim the lights, shut off the phone and load your pr0n DVD in one playlist.

  5. Things like this are why nobody likes nerds... on Gameboy Advance SP vs Canon Powershot G3 · · Score: 1

    nuff.
