Wow, just realizing how awesome the current version of NetNewsWire is.
in what sense? - dK
It's very fast, makes reorganizing a massive number of feeds quick work, has good Webkit integration. Doesn't crash, or network/memory hog like many other desktop readers do. - Jason Wehmhoener
the killer feature for me is it's websynch (and iPhone, too) ;) - dK
i don't know of any rss reader for windows or mac that's better. it's amazingly quick and easily customizable - Cee Bee
Loving the iPhone version as well. - Wes Justice
I've just started using this now too. Pretty damn good! Would be nice to be able to sync with Google Reader, but i can live without it. - Chris Dahl
I think I'm at a point where if it doesn't sync with google reader I can't really use it. Newsgator Online just doesn't compare. Eventbox syncs with greader. - Jason Wehmhoener

Password management methods: what do you use? - http://www.jkontherun.com/2008...
waiting for the retina scan...do those fingerprint readers work effectively? - Aura Mae
I always said I was going to try 1password. I guess their idea to give the iPhone client away for free was a smart one. I downloaded the iPhone client and almost immediately downloaded the local client. - Dan
I store all of my passwords in Firefox. I have never found a use for password management software - Mike Fruchter
Not only do I store all my pw's in firefox, but they are usually all the same thing. Unless it's the bank or something. I think life would go on if somebody hacked my Myspace profile :) - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
I want to use 1Password for everything, but you can't define your own wallet items, which really stinks. Instead, I use Wallet (url: http://waterfallsw.com/wallet/). Cross-platform clients would be nice, but the only ones I've found are really, really, junky. - Mark Trapp
+1 for 1password here - h1ro
I let Firefox hold them for me (using a Master password) but I store them all in Outlook as contacts. Probably not the best method, but it works. - Shayna
@Aura Mae - yeah the fingerprint readers work well, my computer has one and it's great for logging into windows. The software sucks for web passwords though, but that could be just my system. - Royce Mathew
I use PasswordSafe - Bob Gannon
KeePass, because I can use the same file on my Windows PCs, my MacBook, and my Windows Mobile phone. It also runs on other systems. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF from NoiseRiver
RoboForm and RoboForm2Go. The latter fits on a USB flash drive, encrypts its contents, and works on just about any PC with both IE and Firefox. Worth every penny. - Ed Bott
i used spash id for phone and desktop untill a fatal crash ruined everything. now its all in firefox or in notes on my phone - nick
I may need to try KeePass. Works with PC, Mac, Linux and mobiles. Good find, MiniMage; thx! - Kevin C. Tofel
Another vote for 1Password. Fantastic app. - Wes Justice
1Password all the way - Jay
I use Myvidoop for all my passwords - Jean-Charles
1password - Jamie

Anybody heard anything about an SSH terminal App?
by that I mean, has anyone heard if one is being developed? would be really handy to be able to SSH into our servers from the iPhone. - doc brody
Anyone who jailbreaks the iPhone can run ssh from within MobileTerminal if they install the OpenSSH package. Not sure what Apple'd say about an actual SSH app though. - Yanik Magnan
Speaking of SSH&iPhone - http://bit.ly/68t8p - Ryan
He's not referring to SSHing into the iPhone, but SSHing elsewhere from the iPhone... though the OpenSSH package will still let you do that. - Yanik Magnan
Would love to see an SSH client in the app store. - Wes Justice
Sort of indirect but I've used Mocha VNC to get into my machine and then SSH'ed from there. A Native app would be a lot better. - Jon West
yeah, i meant SSH out from phone into my servers. and without jail braking or using a web app like http://www.gotossh.com/ - doc brody

Good news, but it sure didn't help the stock price of either company. - Wes Justice

@shashib cover your ears. GoDaddy has the fracking worst UI evar!!!! Every. Single. Screen. SUCKS.
Indeed. I've got several domains with them, but glad I don't have to actually use the site much. - Wes Justice

Dave is of course an overwhelming popular choice for boys, but I was surprised to find that Hitler is also a popular boy’s name. Who knew! - http://www.gpeters.com/names...

just leaving gym (first time here in 2 months).
Is there a FriendFeed room called the "get your butt to the gym support group"? - Ontario Emperor from fftogo
there i now you can have control when you get off fftogo let me know and I will give you the reins. - Cody Heitschmidt
I'm on real FriendFeed now and just joined the room. - Ontario Emperor
If anyone else wants to join, the "get your butt to the gym support group" is at http://friendfeed.com/rooms... - Ontario Emperor
Thanks, Wes. Just starting to explore it now. - Ontario Emperor
No problem! :) - Wes Justice

Girl Talk – In Step - http://www.last.fm/music...
I usually get tired of an album after listening to it so much, but Girl Talk's latest is just amazing. Highly recommended if you're at all into remix / mashup stuff. - Wes Justice

@wesjustice we've been picking on @gregsimmons. he went to canada where you can't get Mt. Dew with cafine in it.
No caffeine in Dew?!?! That's insanity! - Wes Justice
Darrell Jordan
@jimwalton kicking back one regular fully caffinated Mt. Dew. As I reload a server 2003 box :(
You've been on a serious Dew kick lately, huh? :) - Wes Justice

Apple - Support - Discussions - iPhone 3G - Light coming from side of ... - http://discussions.apple.com/thread...
I've got this problem as well, unfortunately. Not sure if it's worth trying to exchange it, as the phone is in good shape otherwise. - Wes Justice from Bookmarklet
Someone the MacRumors forums posted some pics of an iPhone affected with this: http://bit.ly/4gb5Oq ... I'm not so much concerned with the looks, just whether or not this will allow a bunch of dust into the phone. And if so, whether Apple will still exchange it *after* said dust is in there. - Wes Justice
I un-like this. Pretty sure I'll be waiting this one out before I upgrade. - Matt Baron

just saw dark night promo. the only batman i've seen is the michael keaton one. and i liked it.
Did you just tap that in morse code? xD - Mark Forman
Check out Batman Begins. Definitely worth seeing. - Wes Justice
read that as "dark night porno." :-D - Karim
I'm one of about five people who *hated* Batman Begins. I just couldn't stand all the plot-hammering and heavy-handed symbolism. - Roger Benningfield
Karim, Batman didn't remove his cape. :) - Ontario Emperor from fftogo
I seem to be in total reboot mode these days. Loved Batman Begins. Loved the new Bond flick. Looking forward to the new Trek movie (feather-soft reboot, from what I understand.) Yep...do overs, ftw! - Jim Stanger

Pretty slick deal between Netflix and MS Xbox 360 to stream content to the game console.
All the more reason for you to pick up a 360! - Wes Justice

Interesting post on the MacRumors forums regarding push (or lack thereof) on the desktop side. - http://forums.macrumors.com/showpos...
If this is true, it looks like even after push is enabled for desktop apps, Mail.app will still rely on polling. - Wes Justice
I can confirm this after trying it between 2 macs and a phone - the desktop side is not immediate, and there are no 'push' options in the .mobileme preferences pane. It's a shame because you can't just enter an appointment on a laptop and then close it without hitting sync without risking it not being uploaded before the machine goes to sleep. Entering on the phone or website works very well though. - Robin Barooah
Yeah, it's a disappointment for sure. Though if the info in that link is accurate, we'll soon have push functionality for iCal and Address Book on the desktop. Just not Mail, unfortunately. - Wes Justice
Maybe on a future update, they just released an 1.1 Mobile Me desktop update today, one day after the launch. It makes no sense to have the main app not having this (since iCal and Address Book are more like a 'slave' from Mail) - Dudu P

Anyone do lap swimming as a primary form of cardio? How effective do you find it, as compared to other methods?
I like to swim laps although I have never been on a swim team. I seem to get more out of swimming shorter distances a little faster, than swimming longer and slower. It has lower impact than running. - lloyd
Thanks Lloyd. Wonder how it'll work out for someone hopelessly out of shape. i.e., me. :) - Wes Justice
I've always found swimming to be difficult, but more so from an "I don't like it when I can't breathe right" standpoint. It works for a lot of people, though. I just don't dig water in my mouth while I'm gasping for air. - Jason Falls
A lot of pools have private/group lessons available that help w/ getting into swimming. I am thinking of taking some myself to get better. - lloyd
Thanks, Lloyd. Just checked the local Y, and sure enough, there's a "swimming for fitness" class. Will definitely look into that. - Wes Justice

[Webware]: MobileMe still sputtering - http://x.techwheat.com/3F
"The replacement for .Mac subscriptions can synchronize mail, calendars, contacts, photos, Safari bookmarks, Dashboard widgets, and more among Macs, the iPhone, and iPod Touch. It lets you stash 20GB of files on Apple's servers, and it even cooperates with Outlook on Windows computers. Plus, MobileMe's online applications would let you check in on all that from any Web browser." - tech.newsjunk.com
MobileMe is working fine for me on the iPhone side, but the desktop component is still not available via software update. (Apparently it was posted today -- twice -- and taken down after a few minutes.) - Wes Justice
Iphone side OK for me too - the web based apps are still a bit flaky - has great promise when its fully operational. - David W
Ian Betteridge
As of now, MobileMe looks like it's working.
I was just able to use it for around 10 minutes without it going down. Still no MobileMe on software update, though. - Wes Justice
There was a link floating round yesterday for that - I'll try and dig it out - Ian Betteridge
The account page doesn't seem to work for me. Also push services are working from iPhone -> Cloud but not the reverse - Matt Baron
... wishing apple could throw a few more servers at it. seems like it's under heavy load. - Matt Baron

@wesjustice how's the camping going at the Lexington ATT store?
Not gonna camp all night, but planning on getting out there no later than 3am. - Wes Justice
Mike Doeff
I'm still trying to understand why AT&T has a $45/month Enterprise Data Plan. The AT&T web site makes it sound like this plan is required if you want push email via ActiveSync. But people who have upgraded to the 2.0 software are getting it to work wothout upgrading to an Enterprise Data Plan.
Here's a good blog post related to this. http://timheuer.com/blog... Long story short: You do not need an Enterprise Data Plan to use ActiveSync. AT&T has done a HORRIBLE job of communicating this. It's bordering on deceptive marketing - trying to lure businesses into a more expensive data plan when it's totally unnecessary. - Mike Doeff
So the enterprise plan gets you zero extra features. Makes me wonder if it only exists to convince more people to sign up for MobileMe. - Wes Justice

Saying Goodbye to .Mac - http://www.tuaw.com/2008...
If MobileMe were working this morning, I'd be happier. Authentication servers were offline an hour ago. - Bill Sodeman from fftogo
My Mac e-mail has been buggy all day. It'll tell me I have messages and double click to open to get a spinning busy-like cursor. I expect this will pass. - Louis Gray
We've certainly said goodbye to .mac. Looking forward to saying hello to MobileMe. Eventually. :) - Wes Justice

“OMG iPhone 2.0 firmware is awesome. Sooooo many toys in the app store. I have to say the apps in app store are MUCH better than any of the jailbroken apps. I'm excited!” - http://friendfeed.com/e...
How'd you get it - Grant
I got it at the same place but don't know how to install on XP. Tips? - Grant
3 Grants on one ff post is monumental. So is my newly updated iphone 2.0, bloomberg app gets me giddy and the remote is pretty cool and useful. i see much potential with this whole app store thing! - grant fox
grant- how did you install. i know for mac you use option key but what about windows - Grant
@grant: I installed w/my macbook but i think the alt button is the parallel to the option button so give it a try - grant fox
no option key for me. none of the buttons on the bottom row work - Grant
aw man I don't have time now but I'm so psyched. so so psyched. any Flickr apps at the AppStore? Gonna check ... - Marko Bon
Looks like there's a couple Flickr apps. - Wes Justice
Can anyone help me??? - Grant
Sorry Grant, wish I could -- but I don't even own an iPhone yet. :) - Wes Justice
The solution is shift + click - Grant
I was comparing the Mobile Flickr app from app store with Hao Chen's jailbroken version and we noticed several missing features, primarily with integration to the phone's camera roll. Is that a app store restriction? - Matt Baron

Do you often or never go past page 1 on a members feed?
On an individual feed? Rarely. On my full feed, all the time. - Wes Justice
I have started recently to go at least 3 pages deep on specific members feeds. - Mike Fruchter
Wes, individual feeds. - Mike Fruchter
FF is too speedy for me, I rarely go for more than 1 page. On my friends page, when I read everything I just refresh it... - Marcos Marado
sometimes yes, before I subscribe to someone I take a look at his page and what he shares, sometimes the first page doesn't say much about the interests. That usually happens if the first page is full of tweets :) . - Hassan Ibraheem
Must admit I'll hardly ever look at an individual feed except for when I get the x is following you mails. I'll then check a couple of pages back to see what they get up to. - Colin Walker from fftogo
Hassan: +1 Subscribed to you. : ) - Erhan Erdogan
I rarely go past page 1. - Morton Fox
Depends on how much time I have :) - Tim Hoeck

iPhone Applications Store Now Live - http://www.inquisitr.com/1578...
I downloaded the latest version of iTunes after reading this, but no Apps in the store. Is it just me? - gregory
@Greg -- You need iTunes 7.7 to get Applications. Go to the iTunes store, search for Remote and you will see Applications as a search result in the middle of the page. Click that app and then navigate around in the Applications section. Link to all free apps: http://tinyurl.com/5fv8rs - Matt Donders
@Matt thanks, that's pretty tricky - gregory
Yep, there are no references to the app store on the front page (yet). Some direct links to app categories and various apps: http://bit.ly/4oYSEG - Wes Justice
