Dan, those look delicious. Did you make them? What is the sauce?? Do you have a recipe?

I don't understand the sweet potato fry craze... everywhere I go, there're sweet potato fries EVERYWHERE. Didn't know you can send photos to FF by text. Crazy.

Holy crap are you serious??? I want to download a song from iTunes. Can't. Need to upgrade iTunes. Upgrade iTunes, launch it and am told "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to use the iTunes Store within iTunes." Lame, but fine. Open Software Update. iTunes is not in there. Go to Safari's page and download version 4.0.4. Try installing. Can't....

Anyone remember when you could just go into a record shop and, you know, buy a record. Without having to upgrade your wallet AND your pockets?
- Slippy "Threadsbane" Lane
I'm guessing you ignored some of your software updates for a long time? I wouldn't expect to be able to run the latest version of core apps if I hadn't kept my OS up to date.
- LogEx
So iTunes won't work without Safari. Nice.
- EricaJoy
LogEx, ever since Apple pushed an update to TAKE AWAY A FEATURE with 4.0.1, I've been wary of downloading iTunes updates. Of course, if I want to still use the iTunes Music Store, eventually I have to give in.
- Spidra Webster
Spidra, I understand that, it's always is a choice of whether to stay in an ecosystem or not. Now that all audio is non-DRM though, I don't see any limitations.
- LogEx
I don't want to install Safari to use iTunes. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
Ya know? FAIL! iTunes bites...which is amazing given the elegance of other Apple products. Perhaps it sucks because it's free.
- ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
I don't think it's necessary on Windows, iTunes must be bundled with enough WebKit to work there, or have some other way of rendering.
- LogEx
LogEx, no not that I've seen. But I'm sure it's just a matter of time?
- Kol Tregaskes
I doubt it, especially after the flack they got by checking that box in the software update. But a dormant app is not big deal anyway on either platform, it's not like disk space is scarce.
- LogEx
Yes, I lived through this hell before. I hear you, Dan. I have given so much of my music buying business elsewhere because my 'primary library' machine can't handle all the upgrades needed to cope with iTunes. I just wanted to say, I feel your pain.
- Holly Rae, FFer
This is why I buy from Amazon so I don't have to keep up with Apple's bloatware.

Dan ran into tourists outside the Facebook office today. They asked (in a foreign accent) "Is this where the Facebook company is?" They were excited that it was and ran into the lobby to take pictures. Apparently this isn't such a rare occurence.

April Buchheit liked this
"I had been a loyal Carmel customer, but in the past couple of years I've noticed a serious degradation in the quality of both the cars and service they provide. This hit the breaking point a couple weeks ago when I had requested a car and they instead sent a minivan. They insisted I pay for the minivan rate instead of the car rate because I had a lot of luggage. When I had made the request, I had told the operator how much luggage I had and they had not suggested that a standard car would not work, nor that they were sending a minivan, and quoted me the standard price. (And in case you're wondering, everything would have fit in a standard car) It was absurd and infuriating that, instead of leaving for the airport, the driver called his supervisor, who proceeded to shout at me, telling me I had to pay more because they had sent a minivan. In essence, they were holding me hostage until I agreed to pay the higher rate. Missing the flight was not an option so I relented, but will never use their service again, and highly recommend you do the same."
