"Mine was from eBay and it was OEM (or a good enough fake that it fit) so it worked out just right. Even if there are junk versions being produced now, I'd still recommend eBay (just beware of this as you shop)." - Sol Young

@sol LinkedIn sucks! - Prolific Programmer from IM

Ha! It serves its purpose... But implementing entertainment style social media features is a mistake. They need to stick to what they're good at - being an address book for people making money with each other. - Sol Young from IM

"Agreed. Hitslink reports have all been adjusted down by about 50%. Number of users versus number of machines is another measure not considered (lots of windows machines are in service, but aren't primary machines). Mobiles market share is also an oddity since most mobile devices have windows or mac using owner." - Sol Young

"The interesting point to the "study" is still important. From one's connections (at least the meaningful ones) one can ascertain preferences not discoverable through the individual. The study itself is just college a homework assignment and the outcome should be common sense. The take away for those trying to retain privacy is that they can leave every detail of their online life blank, but having connections to non-blank friends will give them away. It's not rocket science, but it's another privacy element for novices to understand as they join social media." - Sol Young

"I've gone back and forth between a single codebase on my machine. I never had a problem with speed, but for SVN repositories it became a bit cumbersome. What I did to get around it was to only handle checkouts and commits on the Mac. Originally I was trying to do this on the PC, too, and was having trouble. Let me know how it goes...." - Sol Young

"I find it faster than a mapped network drive, but slower than if the files were on a local virtual disk. It's noticible for a major project, but only on the first build or a clean and build. Even for medium sized projects it works very well fe me without a significant delay. What kind of delays are you seeing? On Tuesday, September 1, 2009, Disqus" - Sol Young

Sent to you via Google Reader Stephen Starr Is Considering Doing Food Trucks In Philadelphia A food truck in Manhattan | Photo via The New York Times Michael Klein has a story in Sunday's Philadelphia Inquirer about more restaurants going for a more casual feel in order to attract customers during the recession. One of the examples Klein cites in the article is Stephen Starr's forthcoming pizza project. Klein then relates that Starr is also "contemplating a line of upscale food trucks to traverse the city." Not just a food truck. But a line of food trucks. Upscale food trucks. It was probably only a matter of time. Obviously, Starr is aware that food trucks are all the rage these days, in New York City and elsewhere. (Even David Chang is rumored to be working on a Momofuku food truck.) Meanwhile, Philadelphia easily has room for a few good new trucks. And Starr has the resources that a lot of other wannabe-food-truckers do not. So why the hell not?

"It was great and haven't considered switching back... At least not to the 9000. Future BlackBerrys may be competitive. I still have the 9000 and use it for testing of various mobile services from time to time, but it's definitely not a pleasure compared to the 3G S." - Sol Young

Go this in my morning Weather Channel Local Severe Weather Alerts: <blockquote>Local Severe Weather Alert for Philadelphia, PA ...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT FROM 9 AM TO 10 PM EDT TUESDAY... THE PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION HAS DECLARED AN AIR QUALITY ACTION DAY FOR THE REGION...IN EFFECT FROM 9 AM TO 10 PM EDT TUESDAY. AN AIR QUALITY ACTION DAY MEANS THAT AIR QUALITY WITHIN THE REGION MAY APPROACH OR EXCEED UNHEALTHY STANDARDS.</blockquote> I remember these from Los Angeles and figured Philly's industrial areas were as bad or worse, but this is for the whole region.

"Maybe the best way now is to add a blog to Flickr's image blog feature... I haven't tried it yet. It would allow staying on Flickr's site the entire time. I'll do a test post later." - Sol Young
