coffeepot64, settle down, it's a quote from the movie Mallrats (like a few people already recognized) Put the coffee down, take a deep breath ;^)

"Ha ha ha ha. You dumb bastard. It's not a schooner... it's a sailboat!"
"A schooner IS a sailboat, stupid head!"

"Listen, not a year goes by, not a year, that I don't hear about some escalator accident involving some bastard kid which could have easily been avoided had some parent - I don't care which one - but some parent conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator!"

when did the mayor become a major?

Woo, it's back online 30 mins early! iPhone activated, now I just need to transfer everything back onto it!

I had to restore my iPhone after mucking up an attempt at new ringtones last night. Now I'm playing the waiting game till 3pm EST.

"I applied the update, but no new channel appeared. :("

You need to go to the Wii Shop Channel and in the Wii Ware section there is the Everybody Votes Channel for download for free.

I guess I just thought it made sense to have the cord coming out the bottom, pointing twards the Wii Remote it's plugged into that's sitting in my lap. But hey, if you wanna hack up a perfectly good classic controller, go right ahead :^)

"Unless throwing it out of gaming rage (I've seen it and it's stupid) or protecting yourself from an intruder (I've never seen it and imagine it's ineffective) there is no reason to release the controller"

just don't answer the door with a ps2/ps3 controller when the cops knock, or you'll be shot! :^o

as said about 10 times on the tuaw site, NO IR is needed to use the wiimote with your mac, just bluetooth. that is all.
