A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

TB, there seems to be software called ZoomText that will do what your friend wants: [link]

(I just did some googling -- I've never used it)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You can check if the songs are registered under another Apple ID by right-clicking the songs in iTunes and choosing "Get Info." The account they are registered under appears there.

I doubt that's your problem, but worth checking.

Holy shitballs, it is. Now I just have to figure out how to resolve that. Thanks!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Jesse! I asked you about that earlier!

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

Holy shitballs, it is.

You know, holy shitballs would have more surface area than a regular shitball of the same mass, and thus would stink more.

I didn't know how to tell! And couldn't imagine I would have two log-ins!

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

Randomly, I decided to give a Samsung Galaxy Android tablet a try. Not particularly sure why this tablet, nor why a tablet in the first place.

Fuck. I am in love. I want to buy it flowers and sing songs to it. This thing is gorgeous. Just beautiful. The OS is sweet, the apps are cool, and it is generally a great experience.

Don't lose the cable:

BTW, I did find a store that sold the Galaxy Tab proprietary cable, eventually, in the Miami airport. The wire cost $70, while standard USB cables were going for $3. What a rip-off.

Actually, they tried to sell me an extra cable in Best Buy for $29 so I could connect it to my computers. J demurred, because I was trying it out, and I can totally use Dropbox for file sharing in the meanwhile. Once I got the thing home, I find out that the power cable is USB on one end, so I could totally use that.

But there are 3G models? I haven't seen that. I will have to do more research today.

eta: That article is a bit hysterical. I haven't mis-hit the power/volume buttons once yet.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yeah, I was kind of thinking that. It seems the reviewer gave it 3 out of 10 because it wasn't perfect.
