Apr 28th 2010 12:58PM You beat me to it. I loved that game.

Facebook users freak out, CEO responds (Download Squad)

Sep 6th 2006 12:10PM I hope they don't cripple it. This is the feature I had been waiting for. Everything I want to know is right in front of me. I'll agree that they didn't have to include EVERYTHING in the front page feed. I don't really care to know when a friend befriended others. And maybe the relationship status is a little too personal to have broadcast on your friends' front page.

FYI there is a small feature no one has mentioned. While on your own profile page there is the mini-feed, the things your friends will see on their front page. Next to each entry is an "x" to hide that event from being broadcast over the feed.

They could just allow you to set certain types of details not to be included in the feed by default.

Actually I wish they just covered their ears. I like this feature the way it is. I guess I like to 'stalk' my friends.

Microsoft releases Vista upgrade chart, reason surrenders (Download Squad)

Jul 31st 2006 1:20PM I am not a mac advocate (My last mac was Performa) , but things such as the matrix above justify those new apple commercials with the two guys.

So you mean to tell me that when I get my Vista Upgrade CD, I will have to first re-install my current version of Windows, then the upgrade disc? I can't imagine this process being less than 90 minutes.

Just wait until they do this "clean install" requirement with whatever comes after Vista, except that time around we will have discovered Microsoft to have gave us Vista discs made to rot by the time that version comes out.

iTunes and illegal downloads love Artie (Download Squad)

Apr 25th 2006 2:20AM Sounds great, but the homage to Pete and Pete was enough to grab my attention.

Track blog conversations with co.mments (Download Squad)

Mar 20th 2006 2:02PM This is actually something I was just pondering about. Currently I just use del.icio.us and tag it as "threadwatch". That way I remember to visit the sites in that listing. I would love this in Firefox extension form.

Dvorak says Apple to ditch OS X for Windows (Download Squad)

Feb 16th 2006 9:29PM I think John mentioned this article on TWiT as a "Throw-Away" article. I'm a fan of John and his cynisism.

Is he a prophet? No. Could he be right? Possibly.

Meetro - Meet People Near You Using WiFi (Download Squad)

Aug 1st 2005 8:00AM It sounds neat, but not everyone uses public wifi. Unless you're living in LA or NYC, I don't see this catching on. I'm an active user of Dodgeball (http://www.dodgeball.com) and even though there are way more people with sms, I've only managed to get about 10 or so people to join.
