The continued exposure of programs like Made with REALbasic confuse me. Do customers really care how an application is made? It's happened at least once. When Mac OS X was first introduced, "Made with Cocoa!" was an effective marketing strategy. Customers wanted "the new thing." Time, dissemination of knowledge, and a little work from Apple […]

I recommend against clicking the "Read More" links at this Gizmodo article: SmartKlamp: Single-Use, Automatic Circumcisions. I'm all for the future. I mean, look at where you're at, who you're talking to. I like the future so much that I even like the past's futures, futures that were planted with love but never quite formed […]

Question: How many major sporting events do you attend per year? My Answer: About three. Tomorrow, I'm going to see the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Florida Marlins! I'll be in section 149, row 20, seats 1 and 2. Good seats… You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments […]

Question: How many of the 100 highest grossing movies of all time have you seen (see extended entry for list)? My Answer: 93 of them. The seven I haven't seen are bolded. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

Many people have commented on the few gun posts I've made on this blog, and the responses have shown that this is one of the hotter topics of debate in the world today. That in mind, I'm tempted to set up a blog with six to ten authors, divided in half on the issues of […]

Fan of Fahrenheit 9/11? Consider yourself an "open thinker" capable of reading up on both sides of an issue? Put yourself to the test? Dave Kopel is compiling a list of 59 (and counting) Michael Moore deceits put forth in F9/11. I don't support sensationalism in any form. Further sensationalism is not the answer if […]

Question: How do you celebrate your country's independence day? My Answer: My country prefers barbecues and fireworks. I'll do the barbecue part, and I'll see some fireworks from my apartment, but I never have a set plan. Today I'll catch up on reading, hit the target range, and do a lot of reading. You are […]

From Apple's legalese re: the iTunes 100,000,000-song giveaway: Release. BY ENTERING THE PROMOTION, EACH ENTRANT RELEASES AND AGREES TO HOLD HARMLESS APPPLE AND ITS PARENT COMPANIES, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS FROM ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY CLAIMS, COSTS… Now, I know it's fairly boilerplate, but couldn't they have edited ou the "and […]

Question: How do you buy plane tickets? My Answer: I typically buy via cheaptickets.com, but since I plan to make a lot of trips to PA (or Cleveland or Buffalo) in the coming months, I'm trying to find the best plan. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the […]

As I was reading the Nintendo Revolution FAQ at IGN.com today, one thought kept occurring to me: why not offer a Firewire port as a connector? Gamers could plug in their iPods (or, at least, a portable FW drive), play music from their own selection(s), and store all of their game saves, etc. in a […]

I've never before visited kimdutoit.com but today while investigating Florida's concealed weapons permit requirements, I stumbled onto it. Kim's site is one of those that make some squeal with joy that someone has the balls to be so blatantly pro-gun and make another bunch squeal in agony that someone, heaven forbid, is exercising the gift […]

Question: When will Apple sell it's 100,000,000th iTune? Whoever's closest wins a copy of any Freshly Squeezed Software product (only for answers submitted before July 4). My Answer: July 15, 2004, at 3:23pm EST. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

Every time I see a bunch of links to pictures I want to check out, I find myself doing one unusual thing: firing up Internet Explorer and using its sidebar "Page Holder" feature. Is there anything easier than clicking a series of links to flip through a series of pictures? The Page Holder gets rid […]

Question: What Dashboard apps do you want? My Answer: I wrote several months ago in an article called "Konfabuseless: Konfabulator's list of widgets is full of Airport signal monitors, battery monitors, to-do lists, and more. Says the description of one widget, "Useless, but fun!" Guess what? I've already got things that do these things. The […]
