How to fix Apple Mighty Mouse Scroll Wheel... →

I’m sorry but the mighty mouse sucks, it constantly grabs right clicks accidentally, has no forward/back button, and the mouse wheel breaks all the time. I’ve been having a hard time finding a mouse I really like on the Mac. I love my MX Revolution on windows but the scroll wheel doesn’t seem to work very well on the Mac. I can’t get it calibrated right and the middle click...

Mythbusting the MTA Fare Hike →

I don’t know much about the details of the MTA fare hike but this seems to confirm what my views on the complaining on tumblr were. BTW, this just confirms how awesome the DC Metro is :P marco: Great overview of the issues facing the New York City MTA. Basically, the fare hike and service cuts are completely necessary because they have a massive budget problem. And the reason they have...

So why doesn't Tumblr have any female staff? →

robot-heart: Tumblr’s “about” page is a total sausagefest. Where are the girls? To be honest, I feel this way about 99% of social media. Seems like women are a huge percentage of the users, but rarely ever involved in coming up with the ideas or doing the techy stuff in the background. Why is that? From my experience at school the technical degrees only have about 5-10% of women in them....

marco: Adam Lisagor’s iPhone copy-and-paste mockup, created two months after the first iPhone was released. This is an excellent approach, and I’d love to see something like this announced at Apple’s event in 2 hours. I still like this better then the current implementation.

First impressions when using an original iPhone...

marco: It’s much easier to use flat on a desk than the 3G. It runs hot. The back gets noticeably warm after moderate use. I just sold my first gen iPhone, the original definitely had a better, more solid, feel to it. The original also felt smaller in the hand. I just couldn’t see myself going back to EDGE. I’ll probably also buy a brand new one this summer when they announce...

Cheney: Obama decisions are putting country at... →

squashed: Could we put Cheney back in his undisclosed location so we don’t have to hear about this sort of thing? Cheney managed to persuade a lot of people that there was an imminent danger to the country through use of extensive gravitas. A lot of bad things happened because of this. Not anymore. If there’s a serious enough threat that we need to torture people or incarcerate people without...

Stewart isn't a bastion of journalism

squishtastic: atheistramblings: talby: Everyone seems to be adoring what Jon Stewart did on The Daily Show last night to Jim Cramer. I would have preferred if Stewart just spoke into the camera, because that’s basically all he was doing anyways. While I prefer Stewart’s interviewing to the majority of other interviewers out there because they coddle their guests so much, Stewart’s method...

Re: What's Apple's problem with buttons?

marco: mm85: I would also like to add the fact that Apple now offers it’s keyboard w/o a numeric keypad standard with it’s iMac computers, and I think it’s quite unnecessary. No one complained before about the numeric keypad. I’d hate to see them completely disappear, but having the option to go without it has a big ergonomic gain, assuming you didn’t use it very often: the keyboard can...

squashed: CNN.com has posted this headline: Poll: Majority say Obama mortgage plan is unfair I think they should have used this headline: We were dumb enough to run a poll asking people whether Obama’s mortgage plan was fair! Seriously, is this even a relevant question? It might be relevant to ask if people approve of the plan (57% do) or suspect it will suceed instabalizing home prices...
