The gawker mobile sites are awful. Just headlines. And for all the new site looks like an ipad, apparently people are reporting that it doesn't work well in one.
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Today's xkcd is just upsetting. Now I have to offset it. ) Except that he did it once in the title and once in the body, so I have to do it again. ) And once more for the mouseover text. ) That way just lies madness.

Dumb, dumb question: I now have a zippered pouch/wallet thing that has a pocket to put an iPhone in. The flap that goes over the top to keep the phone from falling out latches closed with a tiny magnet. Now, I've poked around the interweb, and I've found a lot of ZOMG MAGNETS!, tempered by people saying there is nothing to worry about, the strength of the magnet used for those sorts of purse latches won't damage iPhones or iPods. Do any of you people have opinions or info you can give me?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The whole "MAGNETS WILL KILL YOUR COMPUTER" thing is because they can erase hard drives. Buy iPhones don't have hard drives.
I can't think of anything else bad a magnet would do. My cellphone case (not for an iPhone) has a magnet, and I've never had any problems.

That's kind of what I figured. Once I finish decorating the thing, it will be perfect to wear under a bustle when I go dancing.
Yes, I am attaching a cameo ornament with a pink skull onto the thing. I don't have any skeleton hands that are the right size for it.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I still associate magnets with Jack O'Neill.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Another iPhone and/or iPad q - My dad wants a GPS navigaton app. Easy to use and letting him look for places like restaurants, airports, malls would be ideal. What do we like? Easy to use best. Thanks!
