Coincidentally (or maybe not), FX and AMC don't really offer streaming of their shows either. FX used to be great about it, but they've clamped down in the last year or so. AMC has…

Sunnyside is beautiful and green and convenient (my in-laws live there), but it is more family-oriented. LIC is very pricey these days, but is much more hip. Astoria is right betwe…

Another New Yorker here. Just sell the car in Austin. You can get a bed & mattress at the Ikea in Brooklyn for $500 or less and they'll deliver it. You're not going to want the add…

It's this kind of thing that makes it extremely difficult to learn programming in your spare time. Getting the dev environment set up for someone who isn't well-versed in the proce…

I'm having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that the MPAA gets to decide what's "off the table" in legislation. Is there no longer even a pretense of separation of corpora…

You have to have a minimum karma score to be able to downvote. I'm not sure what that score is though.

That did it. I thought I was being dense since I couldn't find the Theme setting anywhere. Thanks!

Meanwhile, my Google Apps account design is stuck 3 or 4 iterations ago.

I felt _exactly_ the same way as you before we had our son 15 months ago. In fact, I felt _exactly_ the same way as you until he was about 6 months old. I'm not exaggerating — it's…

That was the line that got me. At the end, after everything he had accomplished and all the billions of dollars he had made, all he wanted to do was spend time with his family. I m…

This is fantastic! Perfectly simple and useful. Only glitch I've run into so far is that the search function doesn't work. As far as I can tell, there's no type="submit" for the fo…

I'm out of contract on AT&T with a 3GS. The exclusive 5 on Sprint would be available and very attractive to me. Granted, that doesn't make it a good idea, but going exclusive with …

I'm with you. Nothing under Adobe's tent remains as perfectly simple as Typekit. That said, there appears to be hope that Typekit will be the exception: https://twitter.com/#!/jaso…

He says "will need a Facebook account to access Spotify…" That sounds even 10x worse than requiring it to sign up. I just checked and I can still access my account without a Facebo…

I tried them both and settled on Rdio. Spotify has slightly more songs, but it was the focus that Rdio put on discovery that sold me. They didn't just outsource the social to Faceb…

I don't get how Old Man's War makes all these best of lists either. It's simple, and not in a good way. It's the literary equivalent of Red Dawn—awesome to 14 year olds, but lackin…

Does iMessage automatically determine if the receiver is on an iOS device and then send your SMS without using your phone plan? Or do you have to know beforehand and then use a dif…
