I’m going to try to save you all a little pain after I learned this the hard way with my iPod Mini. This is a copypaste of a post from iLounge: I just got bit by a change in iTunes 7′s behaviour that may be less than intuitive… In previous versions of iTunes, the preferences [...]

Wow, check out this article. It seems that running Yahoo Messenger 8 slows down a fresh Windows install more than even Microsoft Office or Photoshop! It came in third place – the worst offender was Norton Internet Security 2006, and the 2nd worse was having over 1000 fonts installed on your system.

Ed Debevic’s is a great restaurant in Chicago where the staff is rude to you… on purpose. But you can be rude back! It’s fun! I went with friends and family on Friday, Sept. 1st, while we were in Chicago to see the King Tut exhibit. (Which was rather disappointing – don’t waste your money.) [...]
