Aug 29th 2007 7:56PM Unless I've misunderstood what you mean by the Sleepwatcher daemon, I'm on 10.4.10 and mine is working just fine.

Jul 9th 2007 11:12PM I would definitely love to win "Hex: Season 1."

Doctor Who: The Last of the Time Lords (season finale) (AOL TV)

Jul 4th 2007 9:34PM Just to clarify the point a little less jingoistically than #2, in US English, "series" refers not to an individual year's worth of an episode but instead to the entirety of the show's run. Thus, referring to a "series finale" in US English means you are referring to the very final episode ever to be aired of the episode, as opposed to the last episode to be aired until the following year.

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip: Breaking News (AOL TV)

Jun 1st 2007 11:29AM The West Wing, probably the most famous work by the writer and producer of this show actually exists in this world's universe (as witnessed by the Allison Janney appearance last week).

May 7th 2007 8:08PM I actually am finding that the words make more cognitive sense to me — it was far too easy to simply "ignore" the numeric display as simple numerals. I'm not sure if I can explain that better; essentially, the word-based time display seems to have a better connection to my actual time sense, whereas my brain can more easily filter out the numeric form as simple noise.

Apr 23rd 2007 2:24AM Fantastic idea for an app. I'm wondering how it does it immediately, though; pmset didn't seem very favorably inclined towards an instant activation ...

TV shows we wish could come back from the dead (AOL TV)

Apr 4th 2007 1:12PM ABC's "Cupid." Jeremy Piven, Paula Marshall. Wonderful. And its "Fantasy Island" remake really wasn't that bad, IMO.
