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

good grief, why don't they just transcribe the damn thing.

You know what's annoying? None of the iPhone apps have free trials. What if I download an app and it sucks?

Signed, $10 for Tetris seems like a lot if I can't try it out first.

Oh, and I just read a review that confused me - you can't play a game and listen to music at the same time? 'Cause if that's the case then I can give up on the app store right now and stick with Palm games on my Treo. The whole *point* of games on a mobile device is to have something to do with my hands while I listen to podcasts on my commute!

yeah, that's uncool. there are trials for most apps for my phone on handango.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Another Luddite question from me--I'm trying to watch Dr. Horrible, and after wiping my cache and cookies and updating my Flash version, am still unsuccessful. I'm thinking about loading Firefox just to watch it, and know nothing about how to load it, what to do once I load it, or how to operate it. (I've only ever used Internet Explorer with my Comcast modem.)

Any help would be appreciated!

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Firefox is just a browser, very much like Internet Explorer as far as browsing. Just download it, install it, tell it you'll play nice, and open it up and go to the URL you want to visit. You can open other URLs in tabs, so that you have some idea of where you're at, rather than opening up new windows. You can do that in IE now, too, so I don't think on the surface you'll see a big difference.

in the time they have been discussing this, the item could have been transcribed.

Outlook has decided it wants to automatically print all attachments when I print an email. How can I make it stop?

it is as if you work at the same place I do, and think similar thoughts to mine.
