Re:Wow, or from the When-Apple-Became-the-Borg Department

As others have pointed out, this isn't anything new. Apple has never been comfortable with public feedback and has pruned comments (and sometimes entire threads) from their discussions for as long as I can remember (and that's a pretty long time). Even when Apple was on-the-ropes in the mid-to-late 90s they behaved like "the Borg". Nothing has changed.

Would be a fantastic feature in desktop photo management software like Aperture or Lightroom.

Exactly. I have a friend who never turns on his (high) ceiling lights to avoid replacing the bulbs. I suggested LEDs. Funny, for he'd rather the bulbs be functional and never on than non-functional and never on, which is kind of OCD when you think about it.

I've owned a bunch of those IKEA CFL bulbs. Some -- like yours -- have lasted years while others have died within a year or two. Despite their unpredictable nature I still prefer them to most big box store CFLs I've tried.

Prices keep coming down. I was at IKEA last week and they were having a sale on their E26 LED bulb for only 6 bucks. Hadn't tried their LEDs before (have others from Home Depot/Lowes) but it has great light/color. Of course it being IKEA who knows what the actual mileage will be, but they're worth checking out.

Re:HBO says no, for now, to fans who want a web-only option

I recently downgraded my Comcast service because our monthly bill had reached ridiculous heights, and in the process had to let HBO go. Losing HBO was the hardest pill to swallow, but I'll now just wait for the DVDs or streams to hit Netflix.

Re:Adobe to charge Flash coders to use 'premium' features

I'll be curious to hear how Adobe plans on enforcing/auditing this. There are but a handful of gaming companies, I suspect, that would be affected (Rovio, EA, Zynga), but still.

Gave it a go. Everything connected fine, but in my test it can't resolve to a local hostname. So the stuff I'm developing locally doesn't display, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Re:Pandora Issues a "Call to Arms" to its Listeners
on Sunday September 28, 2008 @08:30AM (#317574)
I've got an idea. Find some new revenue streams. Like, for example, the Pandora iPhone app. It's the one iPhone app I use on a consistent basis, and is worth its weight in gold. How much do they charge for it? Nothing. That's nice and all, but they should split it into "free" and "premium" versions (a la Twitterific from IconFactory). Most people would just use the free version, but as IconFactory proved there are plenty of people out there who'd support the app by purchasing a premium blend.
