Is twitter down this morning? I think it's sick!
completely down for me. - MLx
everything fine over here... - taline
down for me. - Iván Abrego
Twitter appears to be down for me. Attempted to access it via web with both accounts; no luck. TweetDeck and Seemic isn't pulling up Twitter; nor can I access any Twitter pages. Web gives an error that reads "problems loading page connection was reset". However, the "IsTwitterDown" page says it is functioning. - H0llywoodWh0re
Thank you Bill. However, I tested that site with other social media networks and it's telling me everything is down. Maybe an error within the site. - H0llywoodWh0re
Thanks everyone. I thought twitter wasn't liking me this morning -- seems it isn't liking quite a few people. :~( - Dee
Twitter is still down for me. I can't even log in to try and contact someone. - Dee
Twitter has not released any information in regards to their site being down. I'm going to attempt to contact a few employees to see what I can find out. I'll keep everyone posted. ✽ It also looks like Twitter has been down for some users for 4+ hours (via research) - H0llywoodWh0re
Twitter is down for me as well. I'm just outside of Toronto. - B2B Specialist
I'm also golden horseshoe and twitter is down for me. The official status blog does not report anything wrong as of 11:05am EST - Canageek
They've updated their status site with the following:"We are currently investigating a problem whereby some Twitter clients in widely scattered network locations are unable to connect to twitter.com." They could learn something from Saleforce.com who post their uptime stats. - B2B Specialist
Thanks B2B Specialist -- I'm relieved to know I'm not going crazy. - Dee
Still down for me, too, dammit. - MLx from fftogo
Yep. Totally dead for me too. Tweetdeck doesn't update either. Lame. - Brad McCrorey
Yeah. - Zachary TG

Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Upgrade to iPhone/iPod Touch v3.1.1 - http://www.macgasm.net/2009...
Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Upgrade to iPhone/iPod Touch v3.1.1
Version 3.1.1 of the firmware broke a highly-important feature, as indicated in several different support threads. In short, when an application is opened, you can no longer double-tap the home button to pull up the iPod controls. - Joshua Schnell from Bookmarklet
Really? Works for me. - Jeremy Brooks
Jeremy, are you running an app with music? I mean apps with its own music effects - not your music player. Trust me - it's broken. - Tamar Weinberg
broke, broke, broke. I keep retrying it hoping that i'm just a little slow, but it stays broke every time. - Joshua Schnell
LOVE this post. I won't say why I haven't upgraded yet, but I haven't, and I'm glad. - Brad McCrorey
Not working for me in Safari. EDIT: Im an idiot and was trying it without music playing in iPod. With music on it works for me still. - Robert DeBord from iPhone
iPod Touch (2nd gen) w/3.1.1 seems to work perfectly fine for me. Maybe the problem only occurs with 1st-gen iPod Touches? - Glen Mistletoe
Glen, it doesn't work on my iPhone 3g. It seems to pop up sporadically when music is already playing, but if you're going from no music to trying to get that media player, I get taken out of the application and into the iPod application. - Joshua Schnell
iTunes tells me that 3.1 is the latest version for the iphone - Glen Mistletoe
Glen, I have a 1G and a 2G. Are you running an app that is actually playing music? What apps are you trying? - Tamar Weinberg
The screenshot associated with this post is actually one I created where it doesn't happen (Dactyl has no sound effects). But try it with a PlayFirst game or any game that actually prioritizes sound effects and music soundtracks, and you'll see that I'm not making this up. - Tamar Weinberg
Jeremy/Glen - do you guys see what I'm talking about or do I need to be clearer in the post? - Tamar Weinberg
Take a look at a video explaining this phenomenon: http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Tamar Weinberg
Interesting to see you all go away when I clarify the issue. - Tamar Weinberg
I tried it with FlightControl - Glen Mistletoe
Glen, open up Flight Control. When it says "Would you like Game Sounds?" click YES. Then double tap on the home button and tell me if you see your controls. You won't. Exit out of the app and reopen it. Now click NO for the same question. Then double tap on the home button. You WILL see your controls. That's the problem. When app sounds take over, you have no way of accessing your iPod controls. Does that clarify? - Tamar Weinberg
I started music in the iPod. I started FlightControl. I selected "YES" on Play Game Sounds? I double-clicked the HOME button, and I see my "Music" controls—Prev, pause, Next , volume, Close, and Music. I don't mean to be obstinate, but they're there when I expect them. Under Settings, General, Home, I have "Home" selected for double-click, and "iPod Controls" set to ON ("when playing music, show iPod controls"). - Glen Mistletoe
Yes, so do I, but it seems that Josh and I don't encounter what you say exists. Are you SURE you're actually running your phone with 3.1.1? I just find it strange that 2 of us can replicate this issue on three (I have an iPod touch 1st and 2nd gen) devices. - Tamar Weinberg
Shrug. I'm not sure why so many people are impacted by this but you're not. I just don't get it. There are at least 3 threads with at least 30 people impacted by it in Apple's forums and it's as if you're the only one who isn't affected. Don't know what else to say. I'm in disbelief. - Tamar Weinberg
Okay - since Glen showed me a video, I thought I'd clarify further given that I have more information. Maybe Flight Control isn't a good example then. You need to run an application which actually *turns off your songs* first. If you try it on an app like that (with no changed settings - I've never run Flight Control prior to testing this for Glen), you'll see that the controls are not there. - Tamar Weinberg

Can you use your iMac's built-in monitor as a second screen for another computer? The answer is yes. Here's how. - Batu from Bookmarklet
use VNC is a clever solution. - optman
you can use a laptop running linux , not only a Mac-i do both - Glenn Collins
Anyone tried this? I tried over wifi with various settings but it's quite choppy. I wonder if an ethernet cable would solve the bottleneck? Or is it more about the vnc protocol? - Onur Babacan
Synergy isn't the same thing at all though. - Onur Babacan
Definitely do this over ethernet. It works *much* better. - Brad McCrorey

After 500 years, the patter of tiny paws: Beavers start to breed again after being hunted to extinction in Britain
Show all
"Taking a swimming lesson in the tranquil water of the lake and then pulling themselves up to snack on tasty willow shoots, these shy creatures do not realise they are making history. But these exclusive photographs are the proof that beavers are breeding again in Britain for the first time in 500 years. The babies - known as kits or yearlings - are part of a programme to reintroduce the animals into the wild after they were hunted to extinction in England by the 12th century and Scotland by the 16th for their pelts and meat." - Live4Emma (L4S) from Bookmarklet
A breeding pair of beavers showed up in Martinez, CA and they've been quite the celebrities because beavers are NOT common 'round these parts, either. - Spidra Webster
I confess, I didn't really read this before like-ing. I just saw the words "beavers" and "breed". /shrug - Brad McCrorey

Taco Bell grilled chicken burrito and chicken soft taco use thigh meat or something, which is nowhere near as tasty as breast meat.
I prefer thigh meat, it doesn't seem to dry out as much. - Mellissa Claus
I actually think thigh meat is tastier, too. I always cook with it when I make a chicken dish. Oh well.. Different strokes, etc. - Brad McCrorey
Chicken thigh fillets are heaps cheaper than breast fillets too, and I'm a cheapskate :oD - Mellissa Claus
I think it's the specific quality of the thigh meat they chose rather than the fact that it's thigh meat. I mean, how do you make chicken burrito for 89 cents without cutting major corners? :) - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Another FFer in the thigh meat corner. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Thigh meat is fattier and cheaper to buy. So it's perfect for fast food like Taco Bell. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

The game features more than 40 arenas and five game modes. You can play against other gamers or practice and compete on your own against “bots,” or computer-controlled players. The game first went online as a public beta version earlier this year, but only for Windows users. Id Software’s Marty Stratton noted that Quake Live for Mac was a top priority when he posted about the status of the game’s developments to Id Software’s forums this past May." - Arnaldo M Pereira from Bookmarklet

Hey guys, I just got my beta invite to Philtro.com. It's a Twitter client were you rate tweets and eventually it only shows tweets that you want to see. The first 5 people to click this link gets an immediate invite http://www.philtro.com/openinv... (sorry if this sounds a little spammy)
Giving away invites is never spammy :) - Brad McCrorey
Got my invite. Thanks man :) - Brad McCrorey
