Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

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

And it now syncs "listened" information across devices, so my Nook and phone stay in sync.

I wish I could work out how to have iTunes do this for me across my Apple ID store logins. I mean, it's supposed to be me on all the machines, right? But the read position from my iPod never seems to wend its way (it's synced with the PC) to the Mac (which only has my purchased items on it).

On the offchance, it wouldn't happen to sync with desktop OSes, would it? Just between the tablet and phone would be a start, but...

This is a minor issue as long as I have few podcasts, but I'm intending to put a device mount in my car as well as an iPod hookup, and catching up with WTNV has left me hungry for more.

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

Frack! My iPhone has turned off and won't turn back on. I have tried charging it with my regular plug in cord, with it connected to my USB, with my extra USB cable and it won't turn back on. I haven't dropped it recently, it was just sitting next to me on the couch and then it was off. WTF.

I can haz Note 3!!!

I feel like an idiot because I have no idea how to use Android AT ALL. Is there a "for dummies" site out there that will teach me the basics?

Learned something new. Game Stop sells refurbished iPhones. CJ was able to get an iPhone 4 with his house sitting money. Now we just need to get it activated. Too much phone crap today.

Hey. New board.

Jessica, not that I know of. Especially since different versions of android have significant interface differences. The key things for ios users to get used to seem to be "dont forget your apps are in the app drawer not on the main home screen" and "remember the menu button is there and click it for more options"

Jess, here's lifehacker's take on it: [link] I haven't actually read it, but if it's true to form, there will be gold in the comments.
