Edythe-this is a real chipmunk right? Just askin... - Mark Forman

mark f: ha! i think you're right, yes. ;) hee. Mr. Chippy! :D - edythe

Yeah, he's real. He shows up frequently on a that rock near our place -- we've nicknamed it Chipmunk Rock. :) - lilbyrdie

Hmm, this actually seems like something moderately worthwhile. :) - lilbyrdie

Please? - lilbyrdie

Neat! But how well does it upscale your Bluray and HD-DVD movies? - lilbyrdie

Over 10,000 millionaires, huh? Not bad... I wonder how many got it via executive paths vs being there early vs working there a long time? - lilbyrdie

Hmm, time to do research again before ordering... new stuff might be better than my pick from 2007... - lilbyrdie

What is it today with dogs? This is pretty neat, though -- and not nearly as freaky as the last one. - lilbyrdie

This totally reminds me of a scene out of Mars Attacks! This is very eery, though, and is going to stick with me now... watch with care... - lilbyrdie

I predict this will happen to Apple and Mac OS X, too, as it gets more popular and ever larger -- if it hasn't already. - lilbyrdie

"I tend to agree with most of what you've written here. The average adult that I know that doesn't code for these mobile platforms for a living really doesn't seem to know that they can download apps -- or when they learn, why they'd even want to. (Side note: Kids seem to be an exception -- even young kids in the single-digit age range seem to be able to find and download games without any trouble.) The only people that mobile OS platforms really matter to are the developers -- and that's to make sure they're targeting them in the right order. As you have said, though, ultimately they'll end up on all of the platforms from one developer or another, so why do the consumers care? In the end, the built-in apps combined with the physical device are all that matters to consumers -- and that's out of the app developers control. (For instance, folks buy Blackberry's to get email -- not to get the Blackberry development platform. Likewise for the iPhone and it's unique traits.)" - lilbyrdie

This is great. It means when you need new ones, you can just walk in the old ones, drop them off, then go get new ones. Orchard Supply Hardware has been doing this for a while. - lilbyrdie

A curious marketing thing. Sprint's been doing a variety of such things for a while -- such as the Ambassador program that's long over. - lilbyrdie
