Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Stephanie, at&t or Verizon?

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

compare gazelle to apple trade in program. I did gazelle and apple's programs over the summer because for one of my computers, apple's deal was MUCH better.

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

Okay, I think I've found the location-aware app I was thinking of. It's called Locale and it costs $3.99. It switches configurations based on GPS and WiFi locations. I've bought it for my phone, and will try it out for a week and see if it's worth getting on the tablet too. Looks like there are a *ton* of plugins, so that should be interesting.

Trust my rage

Maria, at&t

And thanks for the Apple Recyling link. I've been looking for that but couldn't find it anywhere.

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

I vaguely remember being told to avoid Seagate hard drives - is that still true? Because this seems like a pretty good price:

Our wings are not tired

I've had the opposite experience. Seagates are my preferred drives. I've had bad luck with Western Digital.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Great strides have been made hacking Siri back to iPhone 4 and even to the iPad...

It's not actually usable yet, it's it?

Gah! How do I get my Android to read my texts to me? I've pretty much worked out what I can get Voice Search and Voice Commands (now called Jeannie--cute, guys) to be marginally useful (but if they could message via Google Voice they'd be MUCH better), but I can't have a text conversation, since I need to do lots of hands stuff to read the replies.

eta: Great. Pannous says that they can read SMS messages with Jeannie, but not HOW. Cute, guys.

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

I just realized that I would like Siri a whole lot more if they had called it "Dianne".
