Re:Windows 7 SP1 is out on Tuesday February 22, 2011 @05:52PM (#2251957)
I have found Windows 7 to be a pretty good OS, I am happy to say. I just wish Microsoft would make the intergrated Windows 7 Install DVD ISOs available for download, like the do for MSDN and Technet, even if they charged a small fee for it.
Re:We Are the App Store on Tuesday February 22, 2011 @12:47PM (#2250709)
I am currently considering my first smart-phone, and I want really want to go with Apple because I do like the refinement of iOS and the hardware that runs it, but their App Store policies are giving me pause. It seems to me that Apple's greed is getting the better of them.

I really hope that Apple will realize that even if they aren't getting a cut of in-App purchases, these Apps do add desirability to the iOS platform.

Personally, I've always used Jhead for this. It is available for Unix and Windows, and I also use it to rename my photos.

Personally, I would like to see an app like Instapaper combined with a licensed AP news feed. I don't really need images or fancy graphics or movies; I just want to read the news.

Cool. I've been a member of the Kink site in the past and found it to be fast and well done. Did you just work on the back end stuff or did you also work on the design/layout of the site as well?
