in Revver’s Downtime Results In User Loss on tinycomb
Revver hasn't paid anyone in a few months, so don't be surprised if the site never comes back.

in THE GUN THAT REFUSED TO DIE on Modern Mechanix
It's so much fun to watch them fire these guns in old westerns. One hand on the trigger, one on the hammer.

I had my Mail app crashing like that too. Solution was to delete back-up in iTunes then restore. If you don't delete the backup it will keep restoring the screwed up mail settings.

antiqueiPhone Sweet thanks!

Uh but uh now that I have it on 2.0 and not a legitimate SIM card, I can't get it to install 1.1.4 it fails cuz I'm sure 2.0 updated stuff boot loader maybe? I dunno but it gives me only the option to sign up with AT&T and open a 2 year contract any clue as to how to kill it to allow a downgrade?

& I am sorry I don't mean to take this Blog off in a new direction or anything,
Please, feel free to continue abusing the DEV team for all their awesome work and tireless effort!

well maybe its not "tireless"

in Wallpapering Your Floor on Modern Mechanix
A hardwood floor would not have surprised me, though. You can see on home renovation TV shows, a lot of great hardwood floors got covered up by ugly carpets & stuff back in the 70's. They go in & out of fashion.

in Is Facebook doomed? on Scobleizer
I keep my Facebook account because it helps some old friends find me. They could just type my name into Google and send me an email, but seriously, there must be people who don't even think to do that.

Be careful with your credit card. This may be the slowest computer that Apple makes, especially that iPod hard drive! Is it worth it?

in Why are some bloggers turning on Apple? on Scobleizer
This is all anecdotal evidence. Wait for the quarterly results on January 22 to see if they should worry. I suspect they are feeling pretty comfortable!

Even in 1934 this was nonsense. Darwin himself knew better.

It was probably cheaper to go see a two movies with a newsreel and a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

in Open Theater Has Directed Sound on Modern Mechanix
My local drive-in had a speaker for each car, until just a few years ago, when they finally got an FM radio system. I didn't realize there had been a drive-in with one huge speaker for the whole lot.

in Where did Forrester get its Twitter data? on Scobleizer
I reckon 0.25% if you're generous and assume 500,000 U.S. Twitter users out of 200 million online adults.

in Microsoft’s new maps are stunning on Scobleizer
I also got redirected to http://intl.local.live.com/ in Safari. That page has two text boxes. "What" and "Where". Neither one can find your address. Sometimes Microsoft is still f-ing hopeless.

I got a record just like this as a child in the 80's. Probably still have it. Neat to see that they were around for decades before my time.

Very interesting indeed. It could help those developers who are worried about their apps becoming too popular.

in New Facebook course at Stanford University on Scobleizer
I have been seeing a lot of partnership opportunities for Facebook developers on Craig's List. They are posted by people who have no business plan or programming skills. I hope we don't see lives get ruined.

in What happened to ICQ? on Scobleizer
My first IM network was called PowWow. But almost nobody was using it. Eventually I got on the ICQ bandwagon, but like a lot of commenters here, there was a mass exodus to MSN. These days I go weeks or even months without using IM. I seem to have gone back to email and phone calls. I feel like an old fart!

Another thing I stopped using was Slashdot. My number there is less than 1600.
