For learning how to do the exercises, Starting Strength is worth the purchase. Even if you don't follow the program. It is used as the reference for squat, deadlift, press, and bench technique by many. There is also a DVD and some YouTube v

I preordered a Nintendo 3DS on day one it was available from Amazon.com. Not for the the 3D, but for: 1. A New Pilot Wings. No price is too high to pay for a new Pilot Wings. I have been waiting years. 2. Portable Ocarina of Time. Same reas

Garry reached out to me for an interview with Posterous. Although, I didn't get the position in the end I was stoked about the fact he even contacted me in the first place. Thanks Gary! And good luck on your future endeavors with YC!

When I purchased my Apple machines I also took into account the cost of the tools I would be using the operating system. Macbook Pro + Xcode + Mac OS X vs Lenovo or Dell upper end model + Visual Studio + Windows 7 Visual Studio adds a consi

Wow, that's kind of awesome. I looked at the first 2 pages and it's literally almost entirely diapers and coffee, sprinkled in between I noticed maple syrup, coconut oil, and wipes for all those diapers and at the end a box of Honey Bunches

Bragging rights. Being able to put this down on your resume could possibly overshadow any possible lump sum that would be offered. Long term, this is possibly chump change if you factor in what it could do for you career wise long term. Als

Where does this leave Mac OS X Server now? Is it dead? Will they continue to develop it and for what purpose? The only product that is currently using it is the Mac Mini Server as far as I know.

I had to administer 2 Mac OS X servers remotely via CLI on many occasions. It was a frustrating exercise each time. I found it easy to forget the commands and flags to do things with their built in tools. They were much too verbose when com

I regretted upgrading to 3.x when it came out too. iOS 4.x was even worse. * I have had iTunes crash apparently from taking too long to load. * Answering a phone call takes at least 10+ seconds I would estimate. I click answer or slide the

I get what your saying, but the Pro's are supposed to be better than the Air and Macbook in just about every feature. The big deal change to me is the higher resolution screen, standard SSD, and giving a slight implication optical drives is

I was dead set on getting one of these, but 2 things stopped me: 1. Steve mentioned this is the future of the Macbook. Which lead me to think... 2. Can you imagine what they have in store for the next iteration of the Macbook Pro? Especiall

Regarding your Blu-ray comment. There are many reasons to prefer it. 1. Much higher quality video and audio than you can get from digital distribution. 2. Many people still don't have access to the bandwidth that makes digital distribution

Looks nice. I love the price, but I don't want to have to mount my monitor for a few reasons. I've been contemplating a geekdesk for ages, but at ~$800... I can't bring myself to do it. I'm a little nomadic, live in a 1 bedroom, and not sur

Wow, that's nice looking specs. The higher resolution display and i7 I'm truly jealous of. I hope it works well for you. You should ping me and let me know how it works out for you or blog about it, especially your Linux experience. I'm ver

I don't see the problem. Flash is 3rd party add-on. It doesn't perform wonderful and has some issues. More users are using Apple products and have noticed it's not the best experience. It has been stated and somewhat emphasized by Apple and

The Lenovo doesn't run Mac OS X. Not sure how much this matters, but the Lenovo is also using Intel Graphics, how well does it work on external monitors? Can it power a 2560x1600 30 inch monitor? I'll give you the 12.1 inch screen though, I

If these had ethernet, I think it would be the most perfect laptop for me, ever. I'm still tempted though, but can't help think that the next Macbook Pro revision will be even more exciting. Steve specifically said he saw these as the futur

I highly doubt this had much if anything to do with it. I think it has much more to do with how you presented yourself and what you put on your application. I graduated from Oklahoma State University and do not have a résumé that I would br

Comments keep mentioning Blu-ray playback, but it's referring to HDCP. That's the connection between devices I thought? I don't think this does anything for Blu-ray as it has it's own encryption scheme. Edit: Oops, I see someone mentioned t

Paying an extra $4 to see it at the theater in 3D with glasses seems quite different than shopping for a TV that costs hundreds to possibly thousands of dollars and adding in some $100+ glasses on top of that.

Peoples expectations for 3D TV is a bit higher than some illusion produced by wearing some glasses staring directly at the correct angle at a flat screen. I'll look at 3D TV when it is similar to a Star Wars 3D hologram. I don't think I'm a
