Thank you!

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

I love GoodReader on my iPad. Love, love, love it.

I don't know if it's still free, but a fun stargazing app with some nice functionality is GoSkyWatch Planetarium.

Didn't know there was a VLC app!! *runs to store*

I just had to come in here to be annoyed at Rhapsody support chat.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

tiggy, many laptops have power-saving settings that cause the CPU to slow down during times of light load, etc. These settings should make your laptop run cooler (assuming you're not doing things that demand a lot of CPU).

Pocket Frogs is my current favorite game. It is just awesome and pretty. Content does not sync across devices, FYI.

I mean this is the nicest possible way, but wow, are you evil. SO ADDICTIVE.

it's because the fan is getting covered up and it's overheating. i will never understand why they put those on the bottom of the computer. makes no sense whatsoever.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

tiggy, I bought this model for me and my mom:

I've had it nearly 2 years now. It's a little loud but I don't know whether that's because for most of the 2 years I used the pad the wrong way (there were little rubber pads to install but I didn't see them so I used them without it - the laptop was directly on the pad).
