Looks like you have to buy it (which is cool), but the iTunes store link (https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.w...) doesn't respond (which isn't cool).

Must have APPS! :)

Sweet. Thanks, I appreciate it. I've been gunning for this for a while.

MG, where do you go for the iPod Touch firmware? I try to update through iTunes and it says that 1.1.4 is the most current.

Doing your Shift load of the iPhone firmware just made me reset my iPod touch.

True. I use Media Center in a VM to stream. I'll have to find out later how you work Mac -> 360. :)

It seems that the XBOX 360 is NOT supported by this product.

That stinks.

Is that a different Experian than the credit agency?

I was under the impression that S3 was redundant. It claims to be decentralized.

ericrice,

I'm not "passing judgment" by saying that I don't get it. I don't get particle physics, but that doesn't mean I'm passing judgment on it. I'm sure it's really exciting to those physicists who work in the field, but I'd much rather spend my time doing what I love.

Seesmic is the same thing for me. I'm sure it's really awesome for some people (there are a number of active "seesmers" on there), but for me, I just don't understand the attraction (I don't get it)

Is there a social press release company?

I've been on Seesmic for a little while now and, other than making the customary "test" message, I haven't used it and went right back to Twitter. I don't get it myself. I have a webcam so that my son can video chat with his great grandmother in Florida and his grandparents.

I'm not sure I would ever use it for anything else.

I went to Snopes.com and didn't see a popup from there. There was a popup for Netflix and that's all. I visited in IE to make sure as well.

Scrabulous is a digital entity, Scrabble is a board game (physical entity). Your analogy falls apart because of that.

No one is saying that Mattel/Hasbro is overstepping their rights or anything. It's just a poor business decision because they look like the monolithic corporation that is too short sighted.

Using FriendFeed, I autopost to Facebook. It would be great if Twitter supported decentralization, though. Lately, their service has been pretty spotty.

Is it a requirement for large corporations to have no common sense about how they deal with their customers? Hasbro/Mattel are not the first nor will they be the last to handle a situation with such awkwardness.

It's a sad state of affairs that this is commonplace and good customer service seems shocking.

I'm glad that you chose to jump in again, Matthew. These have been two of the most interesting posts lately. Both sides are defending themselves well.
