I've updated my Touch but haven't had time to install any apps. Anyone want to recommend a few?
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
CityTransit isn't great, but it's still necessary.
Remote is awesome.

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

There's a free app to look up movies and their show times, which will also give you their Rotten Tomato rating. You do have to be able to connect to the interweebs to use it, though, so it's only relatively useful for iTouch-havers like me.
Where? which is a location-based lookup also looks cool, but once again the connectivity requirement gives me little joy.
You know what I really want? Some kind of Graphiti interface which will let me use the simplified alphabet from the Palm in place of the typewriter with the letters far too close together.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
is there a word/excel type of app for the iPhone? I couldn't find any, but eyes are a bit tired.

Apparently Dell is jumping on the tiny, very cheap Linux laptop bandwagon: $299 Dell E overshadows laptop cacophony with possible August release
Also,
Meanwhile, Dell throws down another pricing gauntlet, adding the option of choosing a 128GB solid-state drive (SSD) for most of its laptop lines. The company’s slipping the quick, energy-sipping SSDs into its Latitude, XPS, Alienware, and Precision notebooks. The big news: Dell will only charge $600 more than the price of a notebook with an old-timey spinning disk inside, undercutting the entire industry in one swoop. You go, Dell!

I just got an email that Comcast has been hacked - what's the name of the website where I can see if this is true?
Because I did online customer service in which I gave out my account number etc. But not my credit card number. Do I need to worry?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Almost certainly phishing, sumi -- announcements like that aren't sent by email, pretty much ever, precisely because they're so often spoofed.
(They may be borrowing some plausibility from the fact that people might remember that it got in the news that Comcast's home page was hacked several months back, but that was a "put dumb graffiti on the site" attack, not a "steal the customer database" attack. And, anyway, it was months ago.)

The email wasn't from Comcast - it came in on a email list. (But I suppose it could have been part of a Trojan Horse tyope thing.)
