What did you DO to that cat, Ross? - Stephen Mack from iPhone
One second they're purring and all the sudden you realize they have positioned themselves perfectly for an attack... - Ross Miller
Yup, I have had a few like that. But seriously, what did you do? - Rachel Lea Fox
My first thought was /interning at Facebook: not as friendly/. j/k now heal up soon :) - Micah Wittman

I have 4,501 songs in my iTunes library... Is that a lot, a little, or average?
I don't have iTunes, but I do have 80.000 mp3-files on my computer. - Ton Zijp
80,000??? You must have really wide taste in music. What program do you use to manage them? (I have 5799 songs plus some movies/tv shows and audiobooks) - Shannon Jiménez
Noted. Thanks for the feedback! - Micah Wittman
j/k Ross, you're the best :) - Micah Wittman
lol! I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, Micah. Could you clarify? - Ross Miller
Coincidentally, there are 4,501 things on the list we keep adding to. So, it just may be the perfect number =) - Micah Wittman
Jointly Kevin and I have around 20,000... no idea what is a lot, little or average though. - Rachel Lea Fox
Well... So far it looks like i'm on the low end... Unless the people with less than 4501 start speaking up. - Ross Miller
Ross, iTunes on my machine has maybe a dozen tunes. That's right, 12. Podcasts on the other hand </sad-but-true> - Micah Wittman
I guess that depends on how much you spent to get those songs in your library. If you didn't spend a penny, then it's a lot, and you shouldn't even say that publicly. Anyhow, I think that Ton who has 80 000 tracks doesn't listen to music the same way Ross does. If you're picky at what you listen, or if you only listen to carefully prepared playlists, then 80 000 would be too much to... more... - Zackatoustra
Hey, I don't have 80,000-- Ton does. - Shannon Jiménez
Ha... well, Zackatoustra, you'll be disappointed to know that I've bought around 800 of the 4,501 from Apple. [Edit: Oops. Should probably read "you'll be happy to know". I misread "If you didn't spend a penny" as "If you spent a penny"] - Ross Miller
I have about 900 songs... but some of my friends have 3,000-5,000 songs too. - Ryan - @magicofpi
I have 6,131 songs for more than 25 days of music. And here I am listening to Sirius Radio instead. - Louis Gray
I think I'd have more, too, Louis. If only I didn't listen to Pandora 24/7. I'm really curious to see when I hit the newly imposed 40hr/Month limit. It's still playing, though. - Ross Miller
We also listen to Sirius Radio most often lately! - Rachel Lea Fox
Oops, sorry Shannon. Edited my initial comment. - Zackatoustra
oh my frick what do you do with 80,000 songs. you must have like every song there is. i have 595 and that is over the course of 4 years. you must have been collecting those songs for a long time. - Scott Kanta
I have 4,510 songs, 15 days of playtime. Have a lot more TV shows and movies, though. - Mark Trapp
At the moment, I have between 10,000 and 11,000 tracks on my computer. I've still got about 300-400 CDs I have yet to digitize, though, so I expect the number to almost double if I ever finish. - Curtiss Grymala
80,000 songs? jeez, that's like a half year on shuffle with no repeat http://www.google.com/search... - Karl Rosaen
I don't have an exact count handy, but I do know that my collection runs around 200 gig or so. Not lossless, I don't see the point in that sort of thing. - Otto
Friends, champagne brunch, & football... Great start to the day!

Ah - great. Was wondering. All the more reason to relax :) - Roberto Bonini
Yum, Ross...what was for brunch besides champagne? - Skye Miller
We ended up having breakfast sausage, pancakes, strawberries, and mimosas. - Ross Miller
You can cook my breakie any day, Ross! ;) - Skye Miller

What is your favorite sandwich that includes peanut butter? (Re: http://ff.im/7dgFQ)
Mine is peanut butter, banana, honey on toasted wheat. - Ross Miller
Peanut butter with apricot preserves. It is most definitely food heaven. - Sean Hanna from iPhone

Twix Peanut Butter. What? Who said anything about bread? - Louis Gray
peanut butter, strawberry preserves, banana and a slice of gerkin - bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Grilled peanut butter & apple butter - Bren, Photophobe from iPhone

Those all sound delicious! I'll have to use some of them for #PBSTN 2 :) - Ross Miller
Peanut butter with honey. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)
"Peanut butter on both sides of a spoon" sandwich - Jimminy
When I was a kid, I LOVED creamy peanut butter on white bread with a sprinkling of sugar. So crunchy and delicious. Now I like boring old crunchy peanut butter and chunky strawberry jam, or peanut butter and banana. - Kate Schmidt
Peanut butter and Nutella - Eric Logan
Peanut butter and banana, at the Arcade, South Main, Memphis, TN, in Elvis's favorite booth. Too specific? - Otto from iPhone
When I was a kid it was fluffanutter, peanutbutter and mashmellow fluff!! Now it's probabally pb&j. - Rachel Lea Fox from iPhone
jelly - sofarsoShawn
I don't know how it started, but I ate peanut butter & salami religiously as a kid. It might have been that we were out of jelly for PB&J and out of cheese for salami&cheese, but, whatever, I sure ate a lot of them. - Pete Delucchi
Peanut butter and banana - Rodfather
Peanut butter and chocolate chip sandwich. - Kurt Starnes
Peanut butter and chocolate chip sounds delicious! - Ross Miller
peanut butter and Nutella. i won't be having that one again for a few years, tho. - Joe Silence is not dead
This is crazy...but as a kid we often had peanut butter, jelly, mayonaise and lettuce...and I even liked it then. Now I don't think i could go there. Lately my fav is PB & honey with sliced banana on whole wheat bread...preferrably toasted. - Skye Miller
PB & cheese (& sometimes a dollop of spicy mango chutney) in an Arabic pita - okyrhoe
iTunes Home Sharing is simply awesome. I'm using it right now to copy/sync all my music to my new laptop and it's working great. It's exactly how I've wanted iTunes to share all along.

Step Into My Office Baby... - Louis Gray
I love it when software updates introduce a tool that I actually use :) - Ross Miller
I love that too! - AJ Batac
How is this different from sharing the library the way it used to work? Or is this more useful for when you want to disconnect the network and still have access to all the music? - Benjamin Golub
Benjamin: exactly. It works like the transfer purchases feature on iPods and iPhones: you don't have to be connected to the home network to play them, because the files are copied to your computer. - Mark Trapp
Wait, you can finally use the songs you buy on more than one computer without having to jump through hoops? My boss would've loved this feature five years ago. Explaining DRM to him was not fun, he just wanted his $1 songs to be playable on all of his PCs. - Daniel J. Pritchett
Ben, the main advantage is that you can set it to automatically sync the libraries so that a copy of new purchases is on both computers. I'm just using it to copy my whole library to a new computer. - Ross Miller
So is it possible for me and my wife to share music, on each of our computers, bought on different accounts, before and after we have gotten married? - Rasmus Lauridsen
Rasmus: I doubt it. This feature, and all the features in the iTunes/iPod/iPhone ecosystem, only allow one active account. - Mark Trapp
and of files you haven't aquired via itunes? - alphaxion
But you can activate more than one account in Itunes... I have mine + my wife's two accounts authorized. But yeah it's probably going to be another case of having to still do it manually - Rasmus Lauridsen
Alphaxion, it just copies them over like any purchases from iTunes. When you open the home sharing center, there's a view to 'only see songs that are not on this computer'. You just select which songs you want to copy and hit import. - Ross Miller
On a related note, something I've been wondering about recently is the best way to share a library between two Windows user accounts on the same machine. Seems silly to sync them when the files are on the same machine, but I'd like new purchases to appear automatically. Is that possible somehow? - Tony Ruscoe from iPhone
Tony, I think you can do that by changing the 'iTunes Media folder location' to be the same destination. Just choose which /Music/iTunes you want to use and set them both to that one. You can change the location from the Advanced tab in Preferences. - Ross Miller
Thanks. I think I'll have to try that. I did wonder about doing that but wasn't sure whether that would just copy the files to the same folder, leaving the libraries out of sync though. - Tony Ruscoe from fftogo

I can't ever quit my job because they gave me a MacBook Pro and I don't want to give it up. - Rebecca Sun

Magic tape?
photo.jpg
Any sufficiently advanced adhesive strip is indistinguishable from technology. =) - Micah Wittman
I realized why this seems weird to me. I always though 3M and Scotch were two different brands. Therefore 3M makes Magic Tape and Scotch makes Scotch Tape. Now, I need to look up the history of these companies. - Anika
From wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...): Magic Tape is a brand within the Scotch Tape family of adhesive tapes made by 3M, sold in distinctive plaid packaging. Invented and introduced in 1961, it is the original matte finish tape. It appears frosty on the roll, yet is invisible on paper. The tape is made of PET film, not acetate, which would normally reflect light. This... more... - Anika
You can write on tape with pencil?!?! I'll have to try that out! On the other hand... that's still not magic. - Ross Miller
