Thanks Adrian, defiantly go try it on. That is what I did, I actually took all my gear to The Northface store, packed it all in, and walked around with the bag for a while to make sure I would like it.

Thanks for sharing. I am very happy with Parallels also!

Re: Motorola Droid Unboxing

So far I am liking the phone. I will be doing a couple of different post where I will be comparing the iPhone to the Droid, the OS X Mobile to Google Android, iTunes App Store to the Android Market Place, and off course a full review of the product.

Stay tuned!

I found that if I lowered my RAM to 1.5GB instead of 2, I got better performance on both the Mac and Windows side. You should try that.

Oh, that surprises me. Strange! Well it might not be supported, try it and let me know.

I can't confirm this as I do not use Firewire, but I would be very surprised if they didn't. Try the free trial, it is fully functional.

Re: First Look: Netflix “Watch Instantly” on the Playstation 3

No it is not, the disk is free, you just have to request it. I like the PS3 version over some other versions because you can browse the entire library, not just what is on your instant query.

If you just stick with it, I think you will find the way Windows 7 does it to be pretty good. You just have to get past your set ways.

you should close commenting on this thread and move everyone over to the page you have setup, so we are all in a central location.

Thanks for the tip on Live Strong's Daily Plate, I am so addicted. I am spending so much time researching healthy foods, and I have started to track my calorie consumption.

Thanks for the tip, I will have to try this.

I replaced lose it with this app, because it has restaurant specific info. I would say it very much worth the $3.00.

Everyone with an iPhone should check out the "Nutrition Menu" this app allows you to collect nutrition data from a massive list of restaurants and grocery store foods. It cost $2.99 but is well worth it. This app will let you gather all kinds of nutrition information from all the places you eat.

Great post, as I was saying in the other thread, my weakness is eating healthy. I can't seem to make myself cook on a regular basis, so I am looking for super easy healthy meals. The other post suggested kraftfoods.com which is a pretty great site with cooking videos.

What are some of your favorite easy/healthy meals?

Thanks, that Stuffed Chicken you linked to looks good. I will have to try that. Thanks for the tip on Kraftfoods.com that is a very informative site.

I have tried to get into those Lean Cuisine meals, but I find them nasty tasting. For lunch, I will normally stick to a sandwich and some baked chips. Dinner is where I struggle. I am not much of a cooker, so I need tips on super easy healthy meals that stay in the 400 - 600 calorie range.

OK, I did my weigh in this morning. I am at 220lb even. My goal is 25 pounds. Started my morning with a light yogurt and a Gatorade G2, instead of the usual bagel and coffee w/ sugar and milk. Sorry no video, I just didn't feel like busting out the flip this morning.

I would love to get some discussion going on how people are changing their routine to meet their goal weights. i.e. food changes, exercises, ...

I am in for this. I am not going to start immediately because I am sick at the moment, but next week, I will make a video with my initial weigh in. Are you setting a goal date or just a goal weight?

I am not sure why it is loud, but it is a distinct HDD spinning sound. I am not sure if it is defective or if it is just how the 1TB XL version sounds, all I know is I can hear it!

Great post Paul, wish I could have gone. Hopefully I can get out to some of these events soon.

Nobody likes IE because of how out dated it is. You might think modern day IE is good, but under the hood it is still a nightmare for developers, so nobody supports it. To much work. Get Firefox if on windows!

I must be a victim of the permalink issue. I am not seeing any
reactions or a "refresh reactions" button.

None of my reactions show up because all my links are shortened with bit.ly. I thought they worked with URL shortening services? Not working for me.
