I doubt they have any non-standard settings, but thanks for the warning.
We're in love. We're ... lovers. We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Coding and Sleeping
I've also found that security software can really slog down a computer. I tend to just run with Microsoft Security Essentials which seems very good at being unobtrusive.

I think that is part of the problem, but I think my father is prone to clicking on bad stuff, so I don't want to strip it down too much.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Gosh darnit, there's still no 128GB iPod touch....
On the bright side - new iTunes icon!
iTunes 10. With iTunes set to surpass physical CD sales next year, so new icon with no CD.
And I'll have to experiment with this stuff:
Social features: New feature called Ping. Facebook and Twitter meet iTunes...social network for music. Follow favorite artists and friends, find out what they're listening to and talking about. Customized top-ten songs and albums lists based on the people you follow. Showing off artist page for Lady Gaga with posts, favorite songs, concerts, etc.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Aw, the new Apple TV is adorable!
Ditto the new Nano.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's a new Apple TV? What for? I have an Apple TV, and it's of dubious inherent value.

But it no longer has storage. So for the iTunes store it only does rentals. I much prefer to buy tv shows and movies instead of renting them.
Which reminds me to get that 1TB drive for my MacBook Pro....
