Re: SABnzbd+, I wonder if he's tried Sickbeard. Works well to avoid the situation where you'd end up with dupes.

I was looking at it just recently - it looks promising. Haven't had a chance to try it, yet. http://sickbeard.com/

SABnzbd + SickBeard + CouchPotato (couchpotatoapp.com) == what cable should've been years ago.

I strongly recommend the "Tree Style Tab" extension for Firefox. It give you a vertical tab bar and makes 20-50 tabs per window pretty manageable.

Chrome has a "Use side tabs" option in Labs, though only on Windows and Linux for some reason.

It's sort of like TreeStyleTabs, but nowhere near as powerful. With TST, you can configure the placement and look of the tab bar (or autohide it), group tabs into trees that you can collapse/expand/reload/close separate trees, and a number of other nit-picking options and actions that just make it feel right. Side tabs feels like an afterthought in comparison.

I mention this not to hate on Chrome or side tabs, but because I hope one day it will be as good. Once Chrome gets an actual equivalent version of TST and Pentadactyl, I'll happily switch.

Short version: Apple! Apple! Apple!

That's pretty much 95% of the posts on UsesThis. Which I wrote off at first as being elitist, but the more top tier developers you meet the more you realize that it is actually the norm. The interesting thing is that for those not using a Apple laptop are always on a Lenovo. I'm working on a infographic, or something along those lines, that shows a breakdown of what it used on UsesThis, but the pie charts are going t…

Cool! Lemme know if/when you do so's I can see.

certainly the vast majority of people interviewed on UsesThis are not developers

I meant an occupational breakdown among the developers. I'm sensing from browsing the site that it favors consumer-facing application programmers.

Nope, I'm trying to get anyone interesting from all sorts of fields. These are all the people who've said yes, for one thing. :)

It's sad that people have to hide their actions. Downloading copyrighted material is legally in the clear in .us and his particular setup sounds highly oriented towards downloads, not uploads. Additionally, as somebody that highly seeds Linux distros through torrents, I'd like you to go back to your Jump to Conclusions mat.

Downloading copyrighted material is legally in the clear in .us [citation needed]? I’ve never heard that before. Mind you, I’m not in the US.

The uploader is the one doing the copyright infringement. I've never heard of anyone being prosecuted for downloading.

Not seen the website or concept before but i really like it. Its a very good way of opening people up to new apps and whatnot. I'd like to see more tech celebrities on that site. I too wish it was easier to write on the iPad, and that multi-tasking was an actual possibility.

Feel free to suggest people, btw.

"I wish Boxee didn't crash so much." Sadly true. And Plex, the main alternative, crashes as much, but in different ways. No more Front Row in Lion. I think Apple want us to buy Apple Tv...

Ever tried using Plex? (Not saying that's perfect, but in 2,5yrs of usage, and 24/7 on, it has yet to crash on me).
