I haven't tried this app, but it looks something like "Things" from CulturedCode, which I have used extensively. It's more expensive ($9.99), and has another app for the desktop/laptop that's about $40 or so, but it works wonderfully well. I've had it for some months now, and I liked it so much, I bought the iPhone app for my brother to get him hooked on it.

Three cheers for productivity!

The reason they weren't shipped from the factory like that is that they've probably been loaded with the software for a month or two already, during which time the Engineers in Cupertino work out the remaining bugs...

Or: Me puede llevar al aeropuerto?

My little brother's 10GB is still running strong, even has good battery life. It's interesting how new and amazing it was when he got it, and how antiquated the B&W LCD and rotating click wheel seem. I really really wish I'd have been wise enough to buy Apple back then. I was 21 and wanted a fast car, instead. Oh well.

No kidding! I have a friend who paid $40 more for his Instinct than the 3G will be in a few days. I've played with it a little, and I can say there's NO WAY it's an iPhone killer. I have an iPhone, and love it. The UI on the instinct is lame, the screen is not as good, and the general feel is poor. It's no more an iPhone killer than Zune was an iPod killer. I do like Samsung, as a company, but the Instinct really just isn't that cool.

I had the same thought. How does this make sense logistically? The only way it would is if the app was large and it were faster to have the majority on the CD and the updates sent out via the web. With the download speed that most people have these days, it is a whole lot faster to download even a large app rather than waiting for the mailing of a CD. Yeah, just keep your site up to date, and get a good download host and leave the physical copy out of the picture. IMHO.

Not sure how significant this is, but i do know that optimas are not your run of the mill lead-acids. They have some spiral core sealed cell that would be more safe than usual. We used a pack of ~40 of them on the electric race car I worked on in college (Formula Lightning).

I'm sorry, but I really can't remember the last time I've had a real frustration with OS X. On the other hand, I honestly can't remember but a few times I haven't used XP and been either frustrated or disappointed. I use both daily.

Ha! It's funny because that's what I read at first, as well. I had been talking with a friend yesterday about converting biomass to crude oil, and for some reason I read "bacon". My first thought was "how are they going to get sufficient feedstock"?

I don't think it looks bad. A whole lot better than the Prius or the Insight. I'd lease one if I had the cash, just to say I had a hydrogen car.
