Is Bloglines still around?

I think they are. I seem to remember that, right before they were supposed to pull the plug, I got an email from them saying they were going to keep it going after all. But I'd already migrated to Google Reader.

The one thing I like better about the new reader is it's easier for me to scroll down on my iPad. I always had issues on the old version.

New Gmail help - is there any way to "pin" open the list of filters? I filter EVERYTHING and I don't like having to scroll over the list to expand it before I can see what new mail I have.

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

is there any way to "pin" open the list of filters?

You mean the labels or folders on the left side? I would like to know that as well. That's one of the reasons I went back to the old style after 10 minutes.

Yep, those.

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

Siri gives Apple a 2 year lead over Google. Wow. I wonder what Google will try to do in order to strike back/leap forward, instead of saying stupid stuff like "your phone shouldn't be your assistant".

I found a Greasemonkey script that helps a bit with Google Reader: [link]

Unfortunately, that won't help my work machine, which is IE7, and completely locked down. Bah.

I am posing from my shiny new iPad! I don't know her name yet. What apps should I get? And can I down/upload my bookmarks from Firefox?

Vortex,

the firefox thing is tricky. I would recommend you sync your bookmarks with Safari (do you have a mac) and have the ipad sync bookmarks with safari.

Alternately, I use xmarks to sync my computers' bookmarks and then I use the app to access them if I need to.

Or, you could use pinboard, delicious and use dbd (ipad app) to access those bookmarks.

You might want to search the thread for ipad apps, but otherwise, gizmodo has an apps (best ipad apps) guide. If you give me an idea of the kind of apps you want, I might be able to help.
