Why testing can be dangerous… http://www.dilbert.com/strips/comic/2010-09-03/

Banks & financial institutions cause global meltdown and yet STILL want to dictate the rules. Half of them should be in jail, not boardroom

For what it’s worth, I’m on Ping… have at it… http://bit.ly/aS48os

Twitter for iPad (ex Tweetie)? Too little too late. Osfoora still has most intuitive UI. Echofon does Tweet sync. Twitter is just confusing

BTW, did anyone else notice that Jobs said that HDR photos would be coming to the iPad in iOS 4.2? Camera on iPad by November? Nah… :)

Twitter for iPad just jumped the shark. Eye candy for eye candy’s sake. Nothing in there makes my Tweeting life easier

Anyone else hating that “early Macintosh” monochrome look to iTunes 10? Some things are “retro cool”, others just “dated”

iPad on its way back slowly. After initial “disk errors”, iTunes 10 wiped content. Restoring now - thanks a bunch iTunes!

BTW - iTunes 10 just bricked my iPad - my advice is give it a miss for now!

RT @antallan: RT @pzmyers: Time to revoke Disney’s ownership … http://bit.ly/bCRddl / What have our kids done to deserve this? «OMG!

I was REALLY hoping the new AppleTV would be iOS based, then I could run Plex and stream my own content. That’s what I need

Since iTunes changes T&Cs on a daily basis it seems, I would prefer if it made confirmation more seamless & didn’t make me retry purchase!

All this talk about the new iTV and streaming video/99c rentals/etc: don’t forget it’s USELESS unless it works outside the US. Please?!

Everyone says how useless AppleTV is compared with Netflix/Hulu, etc-but at least I can get content in Europe via the Apple TV! Wake up USA!

With that new Nano, I don’t see the need for the new Shuffle!
