What problem is Google attempting to solve with the Chrome OS? A lot of talk about 7 sec boot up time -- is that all? I don't really see a lot of other advantage? It seems to me they are taking a lot away for not much gain. Am I just thick?

"Growing tired of your spouse, but worried about an expensive divorce settlement? Act now, while the economy is still in the dumps, local divorce lawyers advise." - Brian Sullivan from Bookmarklet
This is a bit perverse I think. - Brian Sullivan
Canadians only. I'm not sure most US state laws apply the same way. - Rob H.
Just back from getting H1N1 shot - relatively painless process.
You'll be all tired and groggy tonight. That's what all people here felt 8 hours after. - AJ Batac
That's OK I expect to be tired and groggy tonight anyway at some point. ;-) - Brian Sullivan
I didn't notice any effects from it myself. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)
My wife (who got needled at the same time) just went for a nap -- a slight headache and a bit woozy. - Brian Sullivan
My arm is a little sore -- no other effects that I can determine. - Brian Sullivan
Evangelical Christian proselytizers (is that redundant -- if so I use it for emphasis) bug the hell out of me.

CBC News - Toronto - Toronto's ROM crystal on ugliest buildings list
"The website said in a Friday posting that although "many praise that glass structure, just as many are troubled by the incongruity to the original, more traditional museum that still sits directly beside it." - surprised it wasn't higher. - Brian Sullivan from Bookmarklet
I used to go to the ROM as a kid. I'm a big fan of this kind of architecture, and I really like this building. The list is somewhat questionable, with this and the Pompidou in Paris on the list as well. But one building I really do agree with is Melbourne's Federation Square. Damn that place is ugly. - Will Higgins™
I like the ROM as well -- on the inside it seems the changes are quite nice but to me this thing looks like a wart on the building from the outside. The Gehry AGO mods I find quite pleasing though inside and out. Maybe it is just a matter of taste. - Brian Sullivan

Latest Jungle Disk update (3.01) seems to lose all network mappings on every reboot making the product useless for normal use
Hmm this only seems to happen if you try to log in immediately after reboot -- wait a little while and the network connections are restored. What can I say -- I am impatient. - Brian Sullivan

Large Hadron Collider is online, Higgs boson be damned -- Engadget
""We have captured it! First circulating beam of 2009!" And with that tweet, researchers at CERN announced that they did in fact activate the Large Hadron Collider, after quite a long delay and despite warnings of a looming, nefarious Higgs boson. Whether or not we will have had total destruction as an unfortunate result of the device remains to be seen, but should the future find a way to either cease to exist or travel to the past in some time-bending paradox, we only hope linguists and physicists can work together and figure out the proper verb conjugations for this brave new world." - Brian Sullivan from Bookmarklet

Except it isn't up to him. Let's check back in on this statement in 3 years. - Cole Jolley
No it isn't up to him -- but he is in a position to have more insight than others. - Brian Sullivan
So is Soros. So is Zoellick. And an alternate reserve currency is what they see. - Cole Jolley

Just copied pictures from my camera to computer of the photo shoot from yesterday. Visited two chemotherapy treatment centres. Chemotherapy is nasty stuff.
