Okay, I springed The Hobbit. What's gonna happen????
I guess I should have picked one I know less explicit info about, huh? But this sounds fab.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

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

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
so I just did it for Looper (pick a more recent movie to see what I mean).
It comes out next week, and I get rotten tomatoes rating and in the "alerts" section of Springpad, I get notifications when books change price, I got a notification when JGL showed up on Letterman (right?), when movies I have bookmarked show up on Netflix instant.

Okay, I'll find something a bit closer to now to test with and see what happens. What sources does it use for books--the one you used when you springed, or others across the web?
I need a crash course in the things it does that Evernote doesn't. I don't think I'll likely switch over for the overlap, but it looks like there's some cool actions it can take.
Mildly relatedly, I wish Windows and OS X had a share button in each app so that I could bop content from one program to another. My grown up operating systems are jealous of that...

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yeah, I tend to prefer Evernote, but I use Springpad for stuff like this. My problem right now is that Evenote has SO much stuff in it. I have been using it daily for years. I don't use tags. So Evernote is a bit of a hot mess.
I need to cull it.

I use tags when I enter notes, but I've never used them retrieving. I intend to create archival notebooks so that I don't lose content, but it's not right *there*, but I haven't wrapped my head around the best way to do that yet.
I have to say, I fucking love the OCR. I did a search for something when I was on the phone with tech support, and the hit was in the photo in one of my serial number notes.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
IMO, none.
but I will let others weigh in. I hate Launchpad.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I assume to annoy me so much that I don't use it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I love that part of Evernote. I use it all the damn time. Seriously, all day long. I do need to organize a little better, but it's not bad.
What I did was create an Archival notebook stack, and I push off completed stuff to that. So there's a notebook there that holds old errand lists, and there's one that has previous bands' tech riders. That one in particular is handy, because I don't need the info except when I'm throwing the show, but it's nice to be able to go back and say, hey is your rider the same as last year?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So if I have an iPhone 4 (not a 4s) is there any reason to upgrade to iOS 6? From everything I've heard, the new maps are a disaster and most if not all of the new features require the 4s in order to work (Siri, obviously, but also the flyover thing in Maps, most of the new camera stuff, Facetime over cellular, etc).

The status is NOT quo.
I upgraded my 4 to iOS, and it's working just fine and has some neat new features. Of course I'll be glad to get the new Google ap when it appears, but the Apple maps is fine for now. I would wait, though, Jessica, since it's not a massive change and you rely on the walking directions from Google.
