I have to admit that since I'm married (5 years) my wife does all the packing. Very convenient and effective for all concerned. - Alex von Halem via twhirl

I a a sub-:10 packing maven. If you can't think of it in :10 or less, you don't need it. It's never failed me;) - Joshua Dilworth

Where's your sense of adventure? Let the 3 yr. old pack for you. - Shellee

Yep, RealNetworks. Could be that their sites won't be live until Monday morning, when they can talk freely about the technology. - Carla Thompson

“turned off Palin's speech midway - her facial tics were driving me nuts. The nose wrinkle thing? Anyway, did I miss anything good?”

Thursday at 4:48 am - Link

She compared herself to a pit bull and then provided an assault to prove it. Her attacks had all the subtlety of a high school tiff. Wouldn't have been surprised if she accused Obama of wetting the bed every morning! - Shellee

You missed history. - Sprague D

You'll see a lot of her speech in Democratic ads over the next couple days as they take some of her more blatant lies for a ride. - Jason Carreira

Really, I know it's a nitpicky point, but the nose wrinkle thing removes gravitas. Makes her look very juvenile. - Carla Thompson

maybe she practicing her I Dream of Jeanie routine .. her cure for all of America's woes .. wrinkle her nose - Steven Hodson

Sexist comments. Which appearance characteristic of Obama or Biden have you taken the time to dissect? Your sexism is showing. - Out Wrong

I don't think I'm being sexist at all. If Obama or Biden did it, I'd say the same thing. Biden has facial tics that make him look like a sneering adolescent at times - is that sexist? - Carla Thompson

Biden is sneering at times... It's one of his great points ;) - Jason Carreira

Many would-be politicians consult voice coaches, style coaches, etc. to work out or around tics or habits. All criticism of a woman candidate does not equal sexism. - Shellee

Shellee - I've criticized her speech fairly aggressively overnight, in multiple threads, but if only I could have put it as perfectly as you! That stuff was very juvenile. - Anthony Citrano

Carla - it's not sexist at all. People abuse that word terribly. So, I think he's flat Out Wrong. ;) - Anthony Citrano

to me the speech floated in mid-air--there was no weight to it at all - Andy Williams

As bad as it is that I don't care about the Palins. - Kaia ♥

I think the layperson won't care about Chrome until it's proven itself to a lot of people. It's probably best if only a small minority are strongly affected by buzz and potential (though I enjoy being one of them). - Kevin Fox

Yes :D - Adam Lasnik

It's pretty bad to not care about the Palins. I mean "President Palin"?!? I'm definitely leaving the country, at that point. - Dror Shimshowitz

It's hard for a Mac owner to care at this point. - Anne Bouey

Mac users might care because WebKit just got another client on Windows, which might make web site owners care a lot more about things working well in WebKit/Safari. Normal people don't need to care unless you are interested in long-term trends. Or have an old XP box where IE just doesn't work anymore. - Brett Lider

I still cant, for the life of me, understand why what amounts to a re-skinned version of safari is at all relevant. - Chris Hollander

“What product do you use to take screencaps of various apps on your computer?”

September 2 at 8:47 am - Link

Using built-in keyboard shortcuts (http://www.apple.com/pro/tips/...), you can easily grab screenshots of application windows, the entire desktop, or any selected portion of what's visible on your desktop. Oh wait, you don't have a Mac yet... :) - Kelly Fox

This is what I used to use on Windows systems: http://www.irfanview.com/ - Kelly Fox

If you have Vista there's a built-in app called the snipping tool that makes it easy to take screenshots (in the Start menu under Accessories). - Shannon Jiménez

Shannon - thank you! I didn't know that about Vista. Kelly, suck it. : ) - Carla Thompson

snagit - excellent app - riaz

Palin disclosures raise questions

September 2 at 3:54 am - via Bookmarklet - Link

"He had his first face-to-face interview with her on Thursday and offered her the job moments later. “They didn’t seriously consider her until four or five days from the time she was picked, before she was asked, maybe the Thursday or Friday before,” said a Republican close to the campaign.'" - Carla Thompson via Bookmarklet

I think they saw the Obama family on stage and thought they needed some young 'uns to stand on stage with the crusty old guy. - Shellee
