I've been trying inoreader and have found it to be easy to use and fairly feature-rich.
Some highlights - Easy import of all your Google reader feeds - Lacking an android app, but one is planned and there is a mobile version of the site - Fast - Free
I've had lots of problems finding decent BT mice. One thing I like in a mouse is a button that I can assign as a 'back' button for web browsing. Most BT mice are lacking in features (extra buttons and whatnot).
The only possible reason I've been able to think of for BT mouse models being less popular is that perhaps additional licensing fees need to be paid by the manufacturer. Maybe there is enough demand that manufacturer's can't ignore the BT models, but not enough demand that they will make BT versions of the fancy wireless models.
If I have built-in BT on my laptop I sure as heck don't want to dedicate a USB port to a stupid wireless dongle, no matter how small it is!
Since insurance companies are so good at preventing payouts, why not put all the evidence to them and state that you don't want to file a claim as the laptop is still recoverable, but that the police are unwilling to cooperate and that you'll need to file a claim within x weeks if the situation is unresolved.
In a way it's too bad it's not a higher value item which might be cause for more action on each party's part.

My thought is that if they went to the trouble of releasing a "special edition" of a computer for the 20th anniversary, what might they do for their 30th? With the switch to Intel well underway, can they afford to dedicate resources to a "one-off" special edition project? Might it only contain subtle differences?
I think that's what people are getting anxious about... If they set the bar at a certain height 10 years ago, are they really prepared to either meet it or raise it with everything Apple has going on right now?
Squid or Python or FCKeditor or Sylpheed. What's in a name? Hopefully some semblance of professionalism. Sorry, but trying to convince my boss that Sylpheed is a valid alternative to product ABC isn't helped by the project's product name.
I understand that some people just don't care, or that the project fouder/maintainers pick a name that makes sense to them, or just sounds cool, but in some organizations "political correctness" and fear of offending other users (not that I believe these *should* factor into any decisions, but I've seen it from personal experience) can have an effect on decisions!
Already, when I store a phone number for a different area code, I do not store it with the '1' in front so as not to make a long distance call. Conveniently when I select that number from my address book and dial it the phone company inserts a '1' in front of the number and dials it long distance as I'm out of my dialing area. This is exactly the kind of slimeball tactic phone companies are famous for.
I wonder if the phones will have a preference to revert to (assuredly more expensive) cell network if the base station signal drops below a set tolerance. I wonder if the phone companies will want suggest that that tolerance factoer will be...?
You know I never even thought that it might still be a functional company. I thought it must have been a made up name the Cuban government slapped on illegally imported U.S. alarm clocks.
Wait, they'd all come from communist China anyway...!
When I sing songs I sing about what I know But I don't know too much so I don't sing about nothing I get my words from reading TV Guide I steal all my solos from the Rolling Stones
I like stupid songs
I get my insight from watching Spiderman I learned a lot from Peter Parker about dealing with the world I pull my wire to the 20 Minute Workout I sure wish the guys in the band looked like that

"Classical modem" Oh crap, I'm getting old! (Or Classical as it were!) :-)
Geez, they could have educated themselves with a quick 5 minute Google search!
Still no cure for cancer.

I have to say, the fonts, the shading... looks VERY professional overall and I cannot wait for it to go live! Wheeee!

When the SO and I went to Cuba a few years ago, the alarm clock was branded "Panashiba"! No, for real!

Came across this quote from the fortune utility:

(and nobody cares about it).

Not entirely relevant, but humurous nonetheless.

Homoownership? Isn't that illegal? :-)

How would windows have enough drive pointers to be able to access this? Would there be a drive AG:?

"Stupid Songs"
When I sing songs I sing about what I know
But I don't know too much so I don't sing about nothing
I get my words from reading TV Guide
I steal all my solos from the Rolling Stones
I like stupid songs
I get my insight from watching Spiderman
I learned a lot from Peter Parker about dealing with the world
I pull my wire to the 20 Minute Workout
I sure wish the guys in the band looked like that
I like stupid songs
How would you know when it was really rusting though? Only when pieces started to fall off? ;-)

Until BF1942 is released for Linux... or OS X, for that matter.
