Re: I Detest The Word ‘Stepmom.’ We Need A New Word For What I Am

RichardMulholland — Mon, 01 Jul 2013 13:24:12 -0000

I just read in another forum the suggestion of s'mum (Smum) or s'mom (Smom). I like this, it's a truncation of step-mum, but sounds endearing - this is Jasmine, she's my Smum.

My ex goes by Mom / Mommy, so the Mum thing helps separate the two further.

So, I kinda disagree here, my son, who adores his Mom, want's a better term to call my girlfriend as "Dad's GF"doesn't cut it for him. He feels that that give's him no personal ownership of the relationship. He introduces her to people as "my step-mum" as this means that she belongs to him too.

No really, are you serious? You can see how this comment looks, you say the app doesn't work with iappsfree or any inapp cracker? C'mon.

Either way if you bought the app, fair play - and apologies.

Dude, how cheap are you? It's $2 for goodness sake. Just support the dev and pay up.

Re: QuickAdvice: TextGrabber Allows You To Capture Text As Editable Text

Great idea in theory, so I bought it based on this post. It simply doesn't work though, it is more of a hinderance than a help and is a waste of money.

To clarify, I tried various texts in various lightings. Not one came out even vaguely readable.

I must say, I don't even think this post makes sense. It's not that it's contrarian, just inaccurate and not particularly well thought out.

C'mon Jason, you're way smarter than this.

Over-complification.

The iPad has many uses, but for taking notes, nothing beats an actual notebook.

Thanks loads for the inclusion - really stoked. However to clarify, I'm not a startup - and I ain't in tech :)

I've been using this one: http://photojojo.com/store/... it really is surprisingly effective. The fish eye lens on photojojo rocks too.

Hahaha, "I don’t understand the appeal pork and bacon have. Granted I have never consciously eaten it" that's kinda like saying, "I don't understand the appeal of sex, granted, I'm a virgin".

Bacon, and pork bangers are the #2 reason I'd never convert to Judaism - although those matzos you guys have are pretty appealing ;)

Re: An Official Posterous App Is Released For the iPhone

RichardMulholland — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 02:30:46 -0000

This really is a completely pointless app. The beauty of posterous is that you just send an email - it couldn't get any easier. When sending pics from the iphone, this actually ads some button pushes.

If you give it to Igor above me, I'll be forced to board his ship, poke him in the eye-patch, punch his parrot in the beak and set fire to his peg leg. That's how real pirates roll.

Do you want on your conscience?

I'm surprised by your review here, specifically the replay value, I think your being unfairly harsh. It may get old for you very fast, but most people you meet havent seen it and will find it hilarious. I whip it out at every party, people love it - the app, that is :)

I'd give it 4 stars, but hey, that's just me...!

Re: 10 Reasons I Won’t Follow You Back on Twitter

Great post bro, couldn't agree more.
Two wee things, your topify link is broken at the moment (I think you need to lose the www), also as it's in closed beta at the moment, you may want to suggest the similar but open, Twimailer as an alternative.
Then another good thing is to do a quick global search for their twitter name, gives you a good idea of what people are saying about them, and how often they're retweeted i.e. perceived value of their content.
Respect,
Rich...!

Dude, epic post. Love it. Love the idea of Gen M.

However...

Larry and Sergei? Steve Jobs? WTF these guys epitomize the old world. Google are trying to own everything, and Jobs will do just about anything to destroy even a small player that challenges his rule - just look at the app store debates.

Still, amazing post, well done...!

Re: Everyone’s a critic (or “No, I am not a paid blogger”)

SaulK I think you're wrong bro. I'm an apple user in a big way, but I must be the loudest critic of them as a company that I know. Also, how much free shit does Apple give Simon (cpompared to any other manufacturer)? I thought as much.

Marc, there's no jealousy, just concern for the credibility of a dude I respect.

Hey dude, sheesh, now I just feel bad. I was poking fun more than anything else, but having said that, it definitely feels like Nokia have you in their pocket lately. If they paid you it would actually be fine, I guess it's the "have you been inadvertently bribed?" question that comes up.

Don't get me wrong, I have the deepest respect for both you (except when it comes to your choice of big dodgy earphones) and the Nokia team, I don't think anything is intentionally devious. But dude, I've been reading you for many years now and this Nokia passion is far more prevalent in recent days. It looks, and feels too much to me at least.

It's a tricky balance that brands, and bloggers need to be really careful about these days...!
