Gem of a post! - Rahul Deodhar

"To be a company that society wants to exist." - Bill Strathearn

Entire industries, and nations, can rise or fall based on their understanding (or lack thereof) of this phenomenon. - Sean McBride

Figure if I had some friends on xbox I might play those games sometime. Is CoD World at War worth picking up? - DeWitt Clinton

finiteloop. Haven't used it in over a year, but if I start again, I will look you up. - Bret Taylor

notsle - Caleb Elston

@kfury had a good thread earlier today about guided tours in CoD, which is great because it makes the gaming more social. I play WoW because @marijke plays with me. And I'd love to try left 4 dead, but from the reviews it sounds like it all but requires co-op. - DeWitt Clinton

That's what I'm wondering. I should also mention setting type="application/x-shockwave-flash". The question is if the browsers are reliable enough to only allow flash (and not quicktime) and if the flash sandbox is reliable enough to stop cross-site scripting. - Paul Buchheit

There are some flaws in various versions of Flash that allow malformed SWF files to execute arbitrary code on the client. - Gabe

how old is the battery? I've had similar issues with 2+ Year Old batteries - Sean Reiser

I have had mine since April of 2007. Found a thread on apple.com with numerous people having this issue. Oh no ... http://discussions.apple.com/t... - Amani

Space-time distortion. Happens all the time. - Denton Gentry

It could be the battery is overheating, thus triggering some kind of panic shutdown. I've had this happen to me with two batteries (and I'm not entirely sure what the actual reason is). Apple replaced both batteries for free. - Carlos Granier-Phelps

You could have a damaged cell. Mine started doing it after 300+ recharge cycles although it was with about 20 minutes to go. - Timothy Griffin

@Timothy... that makes a lot more sense. Thanks. - Carlos Granier-Phelps

Carlos: no worries. Apple wouldn't replace my battery as they said I'd had over two years worth of use in 14 months -- wasn't too worried, though, as I had abused my poor MacBook and it stood up to it magnificently. - Timothy Griffin

@Timothy... I'm on my fourth battery already (in 2 yrs). But Apple has always replaced them for free (I do have Apple Care, though). - Carlos Granier-Phelps

Carlos: That was my problem, i.e. no AppleCare! It's only my second battery, though, and I am swapping for a new MacBook Pro in a few weeks and this time I got AppleCare. - Timothy Griffin

I believe I am on 375 cycles (what does that really mean?) so I need to call AppleCare. I don't think I have apple care, but I am not sure. - Amani

Amani: "A charge cycle means using all of the battery’s power, but that doesn’t necessarily mean a single charge. For instance, you could use your notebook for an hour or more one day, using half its power, and then recharge it fully. If you did the same thing the next day, it would count as one charge cycle, not two, so you may take several days to complete a cycle." - Timothy Griffin

@ Timothy - Thanks for the explanation. It seems like more and more people are having this issue. - Amani

No worries. - Timothy Griffin

Mine started doing that as well, seems to happen when I have a run on plugging it in and unplugging it often. It's in the apple hospital at the moment, let's hope it gets sorted. - Stuart Forsyth

Had a similar problem, I had a bad harddrive, get it checked out before a crash - Bryan Thatcher via twhirl

I found this link (http://www.macworld.com/articl...) but it's a couple of years old. - Carlos Granier-Phelps via IM

Probably using batch operations in Photoshop. - Jason Huebel

I'd rather avoid having to install Photoshop on that computer. I was thinking more along the lines of the Windows XP PowerToy. - Carlos Granier-Phelps via IM

There is an automator script I think in the demo files that can resize a bunch or change the style. - Andrew Leyden

This article says you can do it using Preview (and Automator). Haven't tried it, but looks like it might be what you're looking for: http://is.gd/843N - Rick Martin

A droplet in Photoshop? - Mathew Ballard

there's definitely an app out there for this..i know there is - Zee from WeDoCreative

here you go http://www.app4mac.com/action_... - Zee from WeDoCreative

There has to be, but so far all I've found was programmed circa 2004. - Carlos Granier-Phelps

I'm not sure about batch, but I believe you can do it in iPhoto. - Paul W. Swansen

Great find Zee! Thanks. ;-) - Carlos Granier-Phelps

no probs :) Happy to help - Zee from WeDoCreative

Now all it needs is to be able to automatically save all the resized files with a new name. (Right now you have to click Save As... for each one and enter the details). - Carlos Granier-Phelps

how about this? http://resize-me.com/ - Zee from WeDoCreative

Touch, definitely - Capn' One-Eye ☠

touch - Jamie

16Gb 1st Gen Touch here. Got it when they first came out. I not only don't leave the house without it, I rarely leave a room without it. - Mark VandenBerg

I've got a 1G Touch and I love it. - Bill Sodeman

def. a touch. - Joshua Schnell

Touch. No question. - Nick Reynolds via fftogo

The Nano. If you hate being awesome. - Phil Glockner

If you'll be going running with you iPod, then the Nano is better, otherwise get a Touch. - Paul Grav

Touch. - Roberto Bonini

Touch. After owning one since it came out it has changed what I use to access the internet. I am probably on the Touch 75% of the time and my laptop the other 25%. Game changing for me. But, I am right on the edge of buying the iPhone, not because I need the phone, but because I want more connectivity than I have been able to get with the Touch. I am not surrounded by free WiFi unless I am at home or certain restaurants and airports. That gets frustrating at times. Oh yeah, and it also plays music and podcasts. Thinking about dropping my Sirius subscription in the car since I listen to the Touch 95% of the time. - Michael Pardee

thanks for all the input - spouse is getting the touch for Christmas (I soooo hope he hates it hehe) It is always good to get your significant other a gift you personally want :) - jlt

I like my second-hand, !activated iPhone 2G :). It's a Touch I can stick a SIM card in. If only I had an adapter that would allow it to work with my FM transmitters. It gets annoying, though, when I don't have access to WiFi, or when I have to re-authenticate to the WiFi at work. T-Mo, call me ;) - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)

well my touch is doing great...more of a pda though - Anthony Feint

Touch - Lindsey

i don't use it but always nice to have one more. Be prepared for my mission to bring unwrapp.com onto friendfeed Paul :) - Zee from WeDoCreative

Finally! Yippee! - Anika Malone

Anyone has invite? - Igor Poltavskiy

how about viddler ? - johnpiercy
