on top of that there is in software support for re-encoding from m4a to mp3


you can tell kevin hasn't had his phone for too long. I bet a month from now he will be coo-coo for android-puffs when he sees just how much more superior android is. Widgets alone make it better. but I will say I totally agree with the magnifying glass thing but it is a learned habit that he will loose. most android phones have a track wheel so you can pin point where you want the cursor although sometimes the track wheel doesn't work on my phone. on another show thread tokenuser mentioned that iphone OS is better to develop for because it's one OS and one hardware made by the same company. the problem android has is there are a number of flavors and hardware options for it so it's harder for developers.

Those smudges on the wall have been there for a long time. I made mention of it awhile ago too. Kevin and Alex both have maids so there is no excuse for messiness! lol.

I agree with Alex's point that purchased tweets would make gaining followers meaningless. Why spend time and energy convincing people to read your tweets voluntarily (by following you) when you can just pay money and have them read them whether they want to or not?

NOW I know what felt off!! They weren't drinking anything this episode! Or maybe they've done that before and I just never noticed?

sniff. Bring back the beers

Well except for the Mr. Rogers one, that one was like 6 months or more old.

It was submitted to Digg 6 days ago. It's recent for Digg.

I wonder if Kevin broke his iPhone by humping it. Jesus, why not just get a Steve Jobs Real Doll? Talk about a lack of objectivity.
