i won’t comment on the politics of the extension, but on the fact that it’s pretty impressive.
Kevin Rudolf feat. Rivers Cuomo - Must Be Dreamin’
Great new summer song.
Jason Derulo - Ridin’ Solo (Jump Smokers Extended Remix)
Absolutely loving this remix. Especially <3 the Jump Smokers verse.
Lil Wayne feat. Nicki Minaj - Knockout
Dig this song
Chiddy Bang - Opposite of Adults
This is a nice sampling of “Kids” by MGMT. I’m diggin’ it.
It’s easy to glorify Verizon as an iPhone owner, because AT&T is so awful. But Verizon sucks, too — just in different ways, for the most part.
I’ve been a Verizon Wireless customer since 2004: phones for the first 4 years, and data via tethering and EVDO modems for the entire time. I recently…
Marco hits the nail on the head in this one. Verizon is just as shitty as AT&T, just in different ways.
Kylian Mash ft. Akon & Glasses Malone - Club Certified
I feel like @apple should come out with an iPad app that connects to the Messages app on my iPhone and allows me to send out text/MMS without pulling out the iPhone. Now that’s smart.
Quincy Jones & Akon - Strawberry Letter 23
Flo Rida feat. T-Pain - Zoosk Girl
This song kills me because it’s a blatant marketing scheme, but it’s so damn catchy that I don’t care. :(
You will hear this song all summer long, so you might as well learn the lyrics now. :)

Ha, wow, I’m glad someone finally figured this out.
lmao, a brilliantly insightful analogy.
Crashed On Quit Again
The fun part about this is that it makes my life so much harder. More CS4 crash reports.
“I’m embarrassed to actually use the iPad for anything. I’m leaving it under my seat because I don’t want to attract any attention. This reminds me a lot of when when I bought my iPhone. When the iPhone first came out they were so rare and exotic for the six months or so that every time I’d pull it out people would be like, ‘Woah! Is that an iPhone?!’ And so using my iPhone in public felt like bragging.”— Shawn Blanc. I have the same issue. I won’t take out my iPad on the train unless another nearby passenger has one.
I’ve experienced both of these situations as well. Can’t wait ‘til the novelty wears off, honestly.
What makes me optimistic about iPad sales is just how delightful it is to use one. That’s a factor that makes sales truly viral: people who didn’t plan to buy it tend to change their minds as soon as they try one.
No feature checklist will ever convey user delight.
It’s true. Almost everybody that I’ve let use mine has wanted one shortly thereafter.
I think this is the year I finally get decent facial hair coverage.
I’m right there with you, man.
Well, I finished replacing my friend’s iPhone 3GS’s screen. He wasn’t too worried about some things going a bit awry in favor of saving money on Apple labor + parts prices. So we got just the screen/digitizer on iFixit + parts (adhesive strips, small suction cup for removing the screen) for a little over $70.
Like most of my Apple-related repairs, things got a hairy along the way. Since his screen was cracked, it was a pain in the ass to get suction over the fractures. I eventually applied a piece of clear shipping tape down the length of the phone to improve suction. It came off, but there was no way to know it was coming. The ribbons were pulled off of their connectors with great force and I was a bit worried I’d ripped something.
The next step would be to remove the LCD, which went smoothly. Then I had to remove the glass/digitizer from the plastic frame that housed the glass and (previously) the LCD. This was the biggest pain in the butt and is also where I think I also broke some things on the phone (ambient light sensors). The glass was held onto the frame with a very strong adhesive. I used a hair dryer to try and heat up the adhesive, but it barely helped. The fractures in the glass make it impossible to pull the glass off of the adhesive in one go. So I was left chipping at glass pieces with a flat headed screw driver. I forgot about the sensors and accidentally jammed the screwdriver into one or two.
I eventually got the glass replaced and put it back together (but wasn’t sure if I got one ribbon far enough into its slide-in connector). The only things that appear to be wrong with the phone is a lack of ambient brightness adjustment, a missing chunk of rubber gasket from the border of the plastic housing, and the tiniest bit of buzzing during a phone call. I think the buzzing is the result of the slide-in ribbon being damaged by the rough screen removal.
Overall, I would’ve rather had him spend the extra $40 on the part that included the plastic housing so I wouldn’t have damaged the ribbon or the sensor. I didn’t realize that removing the screen while it was cracked would be so much more difficult. Oh well—live and learn.

Now this is how you do a site takeover (and also how you continue the stereotype that latin people can dance).
This is so ridiculous it’s ridiculous.
Damn, bonkers.
Damn, that was very effective.
