There are some pretty amazing and intricate golf discs out there. People add their own crazy artwork and stuff to the discs. Apparently it's not too difficult (with the exception of needing artistic talent) to dye discs:
I'm good with the stock ones for now. 🙂

There's a 40:00 version out there with Dave Feldberg, but it seems to move around a little. I think it's on Vimeo now.

What's most interesting to me about Netflix's "lost year" is both that so many of the company's executives saw the disaster coming and that the disaster was just as bad as they thought:
The price hike and the later, aborted attempt to spin off the company's DVD operations enraged Netflix customers. The company lost 800,000 subscribers, its stock price dropped 77 percent in four months, and management's reputation was battered.
The poll on the CNET page says:
52% said they never left.
33% said they left and are never coming back.
Previous posts from me include this one with our combined queues when I closed my DVD account (we've kept the streaming account only) and this one talking about Qwikster.
P.S. The $15.98 price for 1 DVD + Streaming is still in effect.

Anyone know anything about disc golf?
It seems like a reasonably inexpensive, fun little thing to do. We played nine holes down here in Kiawah Island and had a blast. We would have had more fun if we had figured out how to "draw" the discs (curving right with a right-handed throw, which I realize is the opposite from golf, but we also stand on the opposite side of the ball or disc).
Where do you buy discs? What do you want to look for in your discs? The nearest course is a 20-minute drive, and while that's not terrible, it's not super convenient either. I wonder if I might be able to convince a local park to build a course or something.
There don't seem to be any disc golf retailers within a fairly large radius around here, or I'd travel to one to see what they had to say.

From this Apple discussion forum I fixed a problem that bothered me for weeks: duplicate iCloud accounts (and thus duplicate notes) in Mountain Lion's "Notes" app.
With Notes not running, on any computer that's affected, delete the folder ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes
.
That's it.

Radar Bug #12015296.
Summary:
Mail in Lion properly responded from the same email address that received the email. Mail in Mountain Lion does not and instead replies from the default email address, regardless of the setting(s) chosen in the preferences.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have multiple email accounts, for example, username@me.com and username@company.com.
2. Receive an email to an account that's moved to a folder within Mail, say, "Work" or "Personal."
3. Reply to the email.
Expected Results:
The email reply is created and the sending address is set to the same account that received the email, as in Mail under Mac OS X 10.7/Lion.
Actual Results:
The address used is the first one in the Inboxes, or the one specified in "Send new messages from:" in the "Composing" preferences. Definitively it is NOT the email address to which the email was sent every time, as it was in Lion.
Regression:
This bug is new with Mail in Mountain Lion.
Notes:
I'm told this was filed previously by another user under bug #12013442.
