  1. Sure, but how long will it last? on UCSD Biometric Vending Machine · · Score: 1

    If they can't even keep a vending machine with a simple dollar-bill acceptor in working order, what hope is there for a vending machine that runs Linux and reads your fingerprints?

  2. Toasted bunny and snail ads were by Chiat/Day on Intel Mac Performance Behind Hype · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually, the ads to which you refer were made by TBWA Chiat/Day, when Steve Jobs was CEO of Apple. However, you're right that it was a long time ago (1998). See the Great Apple Ads page for details.

  3. Re:Unit Testing In The Schools... on Unit Test Your Aspects · · Score: 1

    Apple's built some nice Objective-C unit testing functionality into recent versions of Xcode.

  4. Achewood, another grevious omission on Webcomics Dissected · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm a longtime fan of Achewood. It characters are vivid and interesting (like Ray, the millionare playboy cat, and Todd, the drug dealer squirrel), and it also makes really interesting use of the comic medium (for example, Roast Beef, the shy programmer cat, speaks in a smaller font than everyone else). You should definitely check it out. Some choice strips are "Liquor Cabinet Taste Test" and "Keep on Rockin', Roast Beef"

    Plug: if you like Achewood, you might also like my webcomic, The Mooches.
