"One final note -- please don't leave your USB stick inserted in the PC as you power it off! USB ports supply power and use a FET device to control that power. When you turn off the PC, the gates float and significant leakage current goes to the USB device. Some of the cheaper USB drives lack a key resistor that bleads this current away and protects the flash memory chips. This leads to data corruption. I have seen the FTL break in such sticks simply by doing POR on the PC."
With that said, those of us that always leave our SDHD cards in our netbook's card reader, even after powering down: Are we in danger of data loss from a similar manner as described above?
I can only get up to as far as "Total DNS Control and MX Records" on the Domain Details area of Godaddy and then the page times out. Sites that I had a high TTL setting are still up... but not the ones I had set for less than a day.
In regards to stuff expiring in 31 days... it looks like 'active items' expire into an 'inactive items' folder, and it seems like all you have to do is just reactivate it again. If this is true, I don't think this is a bad feature because it causes users to keep an eye on of their info and frees up resources when stuff is ignored by the item creator.
Not only is this site working when using Firefox 1.0.6 (on a G5 running OSX3.9), I signed up for the YouTube service to see if I can get it to stream an enhanced podcast. To my surprise, the service accepted the *.m4a file and YourTube was broadcast it. (I yet have to test this using the Windows XP machine...)

Granted there are artifacts and the sound quality nose-dived (These problems don't exist when played in iTunes) but I'm very impressed because it seems this service can make it possible for people to see these files outside of using iTunes. (A major complaint by listeners when using enhanced features who don't use iTunes to listen tho their podcasts.)
Opps... jumped the gun...
"The patent application was filed on December 31, 2003, and has been assigned number 20050165615. They sure took a while to get around to it."
So, it wasn't awarded... just to almost two years to assign a number to the application.
o-O
I tried with Firefox 1.0.6 on Mac (OSX 10.3.9) and IE 6 on a PC running XP and I could not get the RSS feed to work. I tried my own podcast feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/Supplemental and that worked just fine.
"approved list of feeds"
I don't believe this to be true.
My podcast http://feeds.feedburner.com/Supplementalfeed
works fine.
(although I can't rule out an "unapproved list of feeds)

Well, you can 'podcast' PDF files via iTunes... I don't see a Word document being podcasted all that far out.

Wasn't Google awarded the patent for this technology recently? http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/07/30/14 41249&tid=217
