@undefined: @bosskev: I'm all for applause of comments. But make it at least interesting. C'mon. He couldn't have come up with something a little better then "lol"?? He sounds like a 13yr old teenage girl. Pathetic

Facebook 3.0 for iPhone Adds Events and Photo Albums, But No Push (Yet)

telepheedian — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 21:43:25 EDT

@SysRq: If they had the functionality out of the door, it would already be implemented. Now, they have to code on an old base, or completely rewrite the app to have it, and it could be that Apple's push service doesn't work in the way that they want it to. Also, Facebook is very resource-intensive for push, I can't help but wonder if Apple'd be willing to run that, especially for free.

@Sinecure: You would be wrong. My friend, years ago, paid cash for his Powermac G5. Three grand. He's weird, but not *that* weird, plenty of people still use paper money.

Most folks I know won't just sit there n take it, and have a big board behind them stopping any escape.
Also I wouldn't have an obvious cut in my tape where they set fire to the lap.

I used to be able to watch video on this site. Today, I've been unable to with both machines I've tried. The first is running Win7, and I was using Firefox 3.5. The second is running Jaunty and using Firefox 3.0.11.

So I'm thinking that something has changed around here. Anyone?

Should We Be Excited About the Archos9 Windows 7 Tablet Netbook?

nerve11 — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 21:37:39 EDT

I'm still unsure of all this tablet technology, Mac, PC, or other. I mean, if you have something that big/small, why not make it foldable so the screen doesn't scratch? But if you go there, why not just make the foldable side a keyboard?! (Hence a laptop/netbook) And if you really feel the need to, add a touch-screen instead of a mousetrack pad. Tablets are out for me.

@The Donut Pirate: Come to think of it, she could play Minmei in the Robotech movie that may never come out. I'd be disappointed if they did that, but it would fit the character somewhat (annoying).

Why the cut to black before the actual "pants on fire" shot? The fireworls probably didn't light it at all, they had to cut, light it with a match then resume the recording. Tadam!

@Hi, I'm God: While "lol" is an overused meme, in this situation it is perfectly acceptable. Zer0vash was merely acknowledging and complimenting elryry for his/her witty comment, an action that is warmly welcomed by commenters.

I understand you probably did not realize any of this, Hi, I'm God, because getting applause for your comments is no doubt a foreign concept for you.

CatGenie Litter Box: The Clean Fresh Smell of Civilization's Discontents

glyphon — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 21:22:26 EDT

I used that very product, and it does work. The lady that manufactured that product got the idea from Jinx from Meet the parents.
Strangely, my cat has the habit of unwinding the toilet paper after taking a dump for some unknown reason.

I wish I could teach him to flush, but unfortunately Aussie dual-flush toilets don't have a pull handle, but a stiff button on the top that needs substantial pressure to use.
