Shazam works much better than Midomi in my incredibly informal, anecdotal experiences... never got any of the extra midomi features to work when I could use them, either.

Intel claims you can write 100GB of data every day for five years before the flash burns out - I don't know what other companies provide as statistics.

I almost grabbed an OCZ, but I'd seen enough reports in their forum of odd problems with Macs that I decided to stick with the Intel. When I bought the G2, it was reasonably competitive with the other drives - I think the pricing on competi

I picked up a 160GB X-25M G2 for $450 on Newegg the minute they were posted - I have it installed in an otherwise-maxed 17" non-unibody MacBook Pro. It's an amazing and surprising difference, one that reminds me of my first dual-processor m

Is there any reason you can't post a gem called why-hpricot to RubyForge and have it override GitHub? This doesn't seem like a new problem to me. If this concerns you, just edit the sources list of your .gemrc file manually and make sure Ru

This is dealt with in the FAQ - but the short answer is that Gemcutter mirrors all gems from RubyForge. If you want to push directly to Gemcutter instead of letting Gemcutter mirror it, you need to go through a migration process to verify y

Indeed - they did an excellent job at RubyConf last year. Maybe I'm going to the wrong conferences, but I think it was the first I've been to where the wi-fi actually worked.

Thanks for sharing, Peter - one always hears numbers being tossed around, but it's interesting to hear the whole story. It sounds as if you've burned your bridges with Apress to some degree - do you have any interest in continuing to write

Those aren't actually screenshots of Google's Google Voice app, it's one of the third-party ones that has since been pulled. I have GV Mobile Premium (the one pictured) and like it quite a bit. Having used it I find it hard to belive that s

I noticed this earlier today. 95% of the time I use Google I use the search bar, but earlier today I went to the Google homepage expecting to click on a link - I thought something was wrong with the page and/or Safari at first. It took a fe

Jeebus... I always sort of figured TWiT was more investment for the future and wasn't making money yet - I had no idea they were doing so well. Awesome to hear it, though.

Speaking as a 3.0.1 user, thanks for the (future) update. :-)

From the article: UPDATE – Chumby is reporting that the Chumby One is much different from the Chumby shown here. The plot thickens.

I tend to liken RAM to a table, programs/data to books, and the hard drive to a bookshelf. You can't read stuff on a bookshelf; you have to take it out and put it on the table to open it. (Sure, you can read a book on a couch, but this is t

I'm wondering if there's a population of users that have computers that are not that locked down, but don't have the savvy to install a browser. (My father's workplace gives him standard-User level access, but he's still been able to inst

I find this solution both hilarious and awesome. Assuming no major downsides, I'd opt-in.

If your application is designed properly, you don't need admin rights to install - proper Windows installers are supposed to support a "This User Only" install method which shouldn't require admin rights.

I hate the idea of being notified of each individual message. Considering how often it's an automated e-mail or somebody copying me in to something rather than something actually useful... well, for my use of e-mail it's a pointless distrac

So the very interesting part is the very top of page 4 - where Google claims that Phil Schiller himself informed Google's Senior VP of Engineering and Research of the rejection of the Google Voice app. This directly contradicts what Apple s

I'm getting a solid 60FPS in the Chrome beta for Mac (4.0.207.0) - I was only getting about 15 or so in Safari.

That couldn't be farther from my experience - for me, the automated transcriptions are impressive in speed alone. They're usually so far off as to only give a vague impression (often wrong) of what they called about. It's good as a constant

I agree that iTunes needs reworking, but I don't believe a Lite version is the answer. I'd rather see Apple rethink the entire iTunes interface and try to rebuild it while making it simpler - think iMovie '09 or the iPhone. Asking for a Lit
