Safari’s Tab Behavior

Prior to my reinstallation, I seem to recall that closing a tab in a series of Safari tabs would result in the tab to the right of the closed tab being selected. Now, after reinstalling everything, the tab to the left is selected. Is it just my imagination? Did I change some setting eons ago […]

Back from North Carolina

I've returned from North Carolina. There are pictures both here and here for, well, my enjoyment. You might get a kick out of one or two of them, though.

Question: How many of these old domains have you been to? My Answer: 26 You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

Apple’s Backup App is Shit

This weekend while I was in North Carolina, my primary hard disk decided to corrupt itself. A minor inconvenience, I figured. After all, I'd been backing up with Apple's "Backup" application every night. Note: small changes made (11:29am, Oct. 18) since John Gruber decided to link to me. I may as well clarify things… Little […]

QotD: Marios

Question: Which Mario is your favorite? My Answer: It's definitely not Naked Mario. I'm going to have to go with Devo Mario or Mickey Mario. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: More Movies from Apple?

Question: Should Apple sell old commercials, old Steve-notes, old WWDC sessions, and so on via the iTunes, uhhh, "Media" Store? My Answer: The idea comes from Mike Zornek, and frankly, I think they should. They could charge $0.99 if they wanted (so they weren't seen as "milking the faithful), or even less - it's their […]

QotD: Front Row

Question: Why isn't Apple's "Front Row" software available for previous Mac models? My Answer: I don't know. It just uses Bluetooth, doesn't it? Why can't third-party apps plug in to it? What gives, Apple? You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Music Videos in iTunes 6

Question: Where do music videos and movie trailers download to on disk in iTunes 6? My Answer: I don't know, that's why I'm asking. It was pretty easy to dig out the file before and copy it to your desktop… but iTunes 6 does not put the file in any of the usual places. You […]

iTunes Video NRFPT

Is iTunes' "video stuff" not ready for prime time yet? I can't get any of the Desperate Housewives videos to preview at all, and just now, the Apple web server gave me "Server Error - The following error occurred: [code=CANT_CONNECT] Could not connect because of networking problems. Contact your system administrator" when I was trying […]

QotD: The News

Question: Do you watch the news? My Answer: Not really, no. As Kasia says, it's scary. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

iPod Licensing Fees

Uhm…?

Steelers 24, Chargers 22

I hope Ben is okay. We can go a game without him - Charlie Batch can run a little bit better and, at times, is a good thrower of the ball. The Jaguars love a Big Ben style game, so keeping them guessing is fine. Heck, even two weeks would be okay, as the Bengals […]

QotD: Monday Night Football

Question: Have you ever hosted a Monday Night Football party? My Answer: Last night's does not count, but once, in Florida, I had six or seven friends over for Monday Night Football. The Steelers, naturally, won. 🙂 You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your […]

QotD: College Football

Question: Will Notre Dame upset USC? Will PSU beat Michigan? My Answer: No (but they'll come close) and yes. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: CC Disputes

Question: Have you ever had to dispute a charge on a credit card? What was the outcome? My Answer: I have. Despite submitting proof, they charged it right back to me. So now I have to dispute the dispute, or something… You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the […]
