L.A. Sparks vs Detroit Shock - Candace Parker goes after Cheryl Ford and bodies hit the floor!
The application update procedure for iPhone is a complete and unadulterated nightmare. The App Store tells you you need updates with a nice little red bubble in the upper right of the App Store icon, simple enough, right. Unfortunately that’s where the fun ends.
I know what you’re thinking: “Matt, I hacked my original iPhone. Now I want to share in the iPhone 3G fun, but I’m worried that something horrible will happen if I upgrade to the iPhone 3G.”
Buck up, fellow iPhone hacker. I’ll tell you how to upgrade from your hacked Apple phone and keep all the settings you love from your original iPhone. The good news is that it’s not hard and there’s a set of five steps that will combine the comfort of your old settings with the joy of the new 3G iPhone. I’ll lead you through the steps.
Digg commenter Hiji writes, "This is the beginning of the end. In a few years all the major blogs and social-media sites will be owned by large corporations, putting us right back where we started."
The topic of discussion is, of course, TechCrunch's rumor that Digg will soon be acquired by Google for somewhere in the neighborhood of $200 million. Digg's users are debating what Google acquiring Digg might mean for their community in this thread on the site. The question is, would being controlled by a big company like Google ruin--or enhance--the community that Digg has worked so hard to build?
Warner Bros sees a positive side to the pirating of Batman, Hoffman said. No copies of the film circulated before the film's theater debut.
"I hate E3 like this," Riccitiello told the paper. "Either we need to go back to the old E3 or we'll have to have our own private events."
Regardless, there are plans for at least one more E3. A representative with the event's organizers at the Electronic Software Association affirmed that much for GameSpot today, but gave little indication as to how next year's show will differ.
This is an interesting situation. Jobs obviously isn't going to be around forever...what happens when he leaves? Perhaps they need to start integrating new visionaries publicly now (they say they have a plan internally) so that in the event something does happen their stock won't tank every time he catches a cold.
Do you guys place an extreme amount of importance on Jobs being with the company?
The concerns around his health have centered on two things: His thin appearance at the Worldwide Developer’s Conference, and published reports in Fortune that in late 2003 after he first learned he had cancer, word of his condition wasn’t disclosed to investors for nine months. Having consulted with two outside lawyers, the board of directors decided that it wasn’t under any obligation to disclose anything.
OMG that was hilarious. That's an example of excellent creativity. Lemme look at that again....
So maybe it's not intentional guilt which would piss a lot of us off, but our inability to handle emotions that way that plays us right into women's hands.
I think people tend to over-think things. Maybe I'm warped but it's simplistic to me. There are two basic ways a relationship develops:
1) Two people are attracted to each other from the beginning (like meeting at the club) and progress the relationship to intimacy without really knowing each other.
2) Two people meet, they get to know each other, realize there are romantic feels shared by the both of them, and act on those feelings, becoming a couple.
The first example has no foundation and this is where many relationships fall (IMO). What tends to happen is that the pair crossed the line into intimacy and THEN they tried to fill in the missing pieces, trying to make the other person fit the role of their desired mate. It’s like jumping out of a plane without a parachute and expecting to survive.
In the second example the two people know each other, started to love each other (perhaps without even realizing it) and the relationship started before the both of them addressed it because the connection slowly built over time. That's why "suddenly" the guy a woman has spent a considerable amount of time with becomes the sexiest most desirable guy on the planet or the woman a man has spent time with goes from cute to hot and he has to have her.
In the first example (IMO) this is where situations like Scrivs and Kami describe come into play. Try explaining to the woman who met her man at the club, slept with and became his girlfriend quickly that history won't repeat itself. Women can feel insecure when men watch porn especially if her body doesn't look like the porn women he watches. Many of the issues addressed are bred from insecurity, fear, etc. and that have legitimate beginnings.
The second situation avoids a lot of this. As friends getting to know each other and the feelings developed over time, the girl will know the guy went to the club 1000x during that time and still picked her...why feel threatened? The girl/guy at the office/school got to know each other, balanced their professional/personal roles (which is like a double slam dunk) so how can someone that is attractive compete with that? The guy watched countless porn movies and still picked her, why feel threatened?
But more important, in the first example because he/she doesn't really know the other person it is easier to abuse the power being vulnerable brings - and that is the situation Kami describes. That is when the manipulations enter the picture. That is where trust issues develop. In the second scenario there is a foundation, memories, feelings and trust. Just like you avoid hurting your best friends the guy/girl will not abuse the power opening yourself up to someone brings because the guy/girl has become the ultimate best friend.
To me, Cosmos is for the person that is involved in the first example of relationships. For the second example it’s already known there will be disagreements, pain, disappointment, etc. but together the two learned how to work through them naturally realizing that one might not like what a person does but he/she still loves the person for who they are inside – including the good, bad and the ugly.
We had our own presidential campaign cover in the works, which explored a different facet of the Politics of Fear, but we shelved it when The New Yorker’s became the “It Girl” of the blogosphere. Now, however, in a selfless act of solidarity with our downstairs neighbors here at the Condé Nast building, we’d like to share it with you. Confidentially, of course.
Beginning Thursday, TiVo will offer thousands of its subscribers the ability to stream YouTube videos onto their television sets through their broadband-enabled TiVo boxes.
Guilt - that's an interesting one. Can you explain guilt?
edit: If you're talking about a situation like this:
7. Go out for girl's night. We beg you. We love to go out with the boys, but when you never go out with your friends, we start to feel guilty and the guilt keeps us home, which keeps us unhappy.
To me that's unnecessary guilt but I have bumped into it. If I opt not to go out that doesn't mean I'm not enjoying myself doing whatever it is I'm doing. That doesn't (to me) have anything to do with the guy going out and it perplexes me that a guy would feel guilty if I make the choice to stay home (for example). Unless the girl flips it and holds it over the guys head (I can see guilt coming into play there) - which I don't agree with.
I never took the magazine seriously. They have quizzes and advice which I suppose help some but for me it's like reading the book when I've already seen the movie.
Now I do know some females that aren't passionate or sexual and the men they are involved with do not bring it out in them. I also know women who are passionate but not enthused sexually by the men they are with and act out what they see in the magazines because that is what is expected.
Articles like this one cracks me up:
According to a study, there’s a love habit that’s crucial to the health of your union: focusing on each other’s good qualities. Of course, that’s easier said than done. It’s normal to see more of your guy’s flaws over time — the key is not letting them infringe on your affection. “If you can organize your thoughts around his strengths, you’ll concentrate on him as a whole instead of on his imperfections,” says study author John Holmes, PhD, professor of social psychology at the University of Waterloo. He found that couples who do this stay together longer.
Better idea - accept the person for who he/she is in the first place and the "flaws" will be part of the person - not something one has a desire to change.
That's very true. It gives the opportunity to really get to know someone without the distractions a club, restaurant, etc. can bring.
#10 - Even if I'm not into the sport I get a kick out of him enjoying it. There have been many times I offered my home for an ex to have his friends over to watch whatever - good food, drinks and friends. Lots of fun.
Wow, I had no idea. I thought graphics came top of the line. Learn something new everyday. Thanks :)
I'll never get why the sports abilities of our candidates, or where they like to fish etc. make headline news... but their policy decisions and all the other things that actually DO matter when electing someone like a PRESIDENT never seem to make a ripple.
For many people they put their trust in people they can relate to. If I showed this video to some of the local boys in the neighbor it would gain their interest - THEN his thoughts on politics, etc. would come into play.
Isn't that like looks being the first to attract someone? If the woman isn't having the guy's baby that shouldn't be in the top tier - but if it is and that's ok, then it is perfectly understandable why basketball, what a presidential candidate eats, etc. would have an appeal. It's just an extension on what causes us to "like" people.
I know not too many people hope for this, but I'm hoping for a decent graphical update in the notebooks to give them a bit more juice than what they currently have.
I don't understand. I thought Apple was the top of the line when it came to graphics?
Not the most important skill for the President to have, but it definitely is cool. I'm glad this side of him is coming out - although I'm sure it won't be long before someone puts a negative spin on it.
Sen. Barack Obama arrived in the Middle East on Saturday, met with American forces and, according to a U.S. official, is expected to meet Sunday with Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
How worthless are these ads? Lookery, an ad network for social apps on Facebook and elsewhere, is renewing a promotion, guaranteeing 15 cents per thousand page impressions to app developers who sign up. With two ads per page, that comes to 7.5 cents per thousand ad impressions (CPMs). Back in January, Lookery was offering 12.5 cents per ad impression. So that means Lookery has cut its ad rates nearly in half.
Amid all the chatter about Apple’s fiscal third quarter results, which were strong, most concerns about the future revolve around two words: Gross margins. The big takeaway for technology buyers: Those lower margins hint at cheaper iPods and notebooks in the not-to-distant future.
You have to be careful with theorycrafting in WoW because it only takes effect if you twink or at endgame.
Yes, I realize. It's the way my mind works. I just like to "know" if that makes any sense.
Ditto on SC2...it's cool, I'm looking forward to it but Diablo 3 is the one (of the two) I'm looking forward to most.
Right now, it's World of Warcraft. I was talking to a friend of mine about Civilization Revolution - that is one I'll probably check out since I've completed all of the other Civ games. Right now, I can't see beyond WoW. I'm starting to get into the theorycraft of the game. I have a feeling Starcraft and Diablo III will be added to the list along with Spore (I have high hopes for that game).
Most of the time we do the work. The work is our initiative and our reactions and our responses and our output. The work is the decisions we make and the people we hire.
The work is what people talk about, because it's what we experience. In other words, the work tells a story.
But what if you haven't figured out a story yet?
The CEO would notice the angry crowds in front of the store, she'd notice the police being called and the riot out front if the person in charge of the front doors was such a jester. But voice mail trees are invisible and the CEO doesn't notice them. She should.
I just watched it. According to the site:
Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog" will be streamed, LIVE (that part’s not true), FREE (sadly, that part is) right on Drhorrible.com, in mid-July. Specifically:
ACT ONE (Wheee!) will go up Tuesday July 15th.
ACT TWO (OMG!) will go up Thursday July 17th.
ACT THREE (Denouement!) will go up Saturday July 19th.
All acts will stay up until midnight Sunday July 20th. Then they will vanish into the night, like a phantom (but not THE Phantom – that’s still playing. Like, everywhere.)
Then it will be back for a nominal fee:
2) What happens when it goes away? Does it go to a happy farm for always like Fluffy did when mommy was crying and the neighbor kept washing his fender?
No, Dr horrible will live on. We intend to make it available for download soon after it’s published. This would be for a nominal fee, which we’re hoping people will embrace instead of getting all piratey. We have big dreams, people, and one of them is paying our crew.
Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day are in it (cool that The Guild's actress was in it).
I saw Kami Twittered about it but I had no idea what he was talking about. I enjoyed it and I'm definitely going to recommend it. How did you guys hear about this?
For better or worse, the new Batman film, The Dark Knight, is being marketed almost entirely on the strength of the performance of the late Heath Ledger.
A class-action lawsuit alleges that Google committed fraud, business code violations, and unjust enrichment by selling ads that were unlikely to generate conversions.
A recently published filing discovered by AppleInsider reveals work by Apple's chief software architect to advance the Podcast beyond its static form and into a live interactive presentation medium suitable for use by educational institutes and businesses for their daily presentations.
Judging from the attendance at the E3 keynote address, event-goers may not have agreed wholeheartedly with the choice of Perry. In a ballroom with seating for more than 1,000, audience members numbered in the single digits just 15 minutes before the session's scheduled 9:15 a.m. commencement. When the appointed time arrived, there were just over two dozen attendees spread thinly throughout the room.
With 28 million Nintendo Wii consoles sold around the world it is no longer possible to declare its success a fad. But can Nintendo sustain its phenomenal momentum?
Nintendo has announced that, according to sales tracking information released today by the NPD Group, the Wii has now become the best-selling videogame console in the United States.
Publisher veep Don Mattrick tells LA Times that developer's new Halo project pulled from press conference due to time constraints; now slated for "more dedicated event."
It turns out that the IP address of my Comcast cable modem-- which had been the same for several months-- is in a range of addresses that is listed on several major email blacklists. That is, some email services regard email from many (or most?) Comcast customers as more likely to be spam. This may be old news to many of you, but as I said, I found it very surprising, and I bet a lot of other Comcast customers aren't aware of it.

I don't take that extra step and apply everything to me. I would have heard the comment and thought he wouldn't have looked good, this guy I've never seen and have no real idea what they are talking about. Personally, I've seen some people tan so much their skin looks like leather. That's what I would have thought of.
I wouldn't have place "me", my race, my struggles, my hopes and dreams, frustrations, etc. into the equation because it wasn't about me. When I see/hear a black joke it's a joke, it's not about me. When a joke is made about me, it's a joke. I know the spirit in which it is made.
