Chris, Have you used any tablets with a Wacom digitizer stylus before? If so, how does the writing compare to them. If you haven't, no problem.

Those are hawt Jeff!

That does not suck Jeff!

Happy Birthday Jeff!

Happy Birthday Wes!

I accidentally updated my itunes to itunes 11. It seems fine to me. However, many have endlessly complained about it. What are the major complaints about it?

Very cool!!!

^Also interested in this question. I use iteleport but would be interested to know if there is something better out there.

No you dont.

Ok, so 80% it is very similar to giving platelets (or other automated donations) which is not too bad. The thing that I dislike about apherisis is when the fluids go back into you. They are cold and make my chest really cold. That is great!

Yeah, I cannot imagine that it would be much fun but I would be willing to do it if it really helped someone in need. Maybe I was denied because I had arthroscopic hip surgery (which puts a tiny anchor in the hip bone)? Ps. My grad student got an even better postdoc offer today! She is still thinking of tenure tracks jobs at teaching schools, but I really hope she takes this one.

The pieces (at least on the screen) looked so small (at least compared to a big ribeye), it reminded me of Zoolander. "How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read... if they can't even fit inside the building?"

About 6 months ago I signed up to be on the bone marrow donor registry. Today, I got a letter in the mail saying that they were not able to enter me as a donor for the following reason: Heath history/Medical Evaluation. So weird, I cannot imagine why. Oh well.

Super awesome!

^I love Little Snitch.

How can we expect the children to learn if all they have to eat is little steaks?

I love this picture!

Nice Dinny. I'm sure you'll love it!

Precisely!!!

Yeah, but are those apps installed by Apple or are those apps the ones someone chose to install?

Is the 5007 out of stock at Outlaw Audio? http://www.outlawaudio.com/products/SR5007.html They have an "add to cart" button but I don't know what happens when you actually try to purchase it. I like the Marantz 6005 I got a few years ago. You can get a Refurb 6007 for a little more. http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/MARSR6007/MARANTZ-SR6007-4K-3D-110w-x7-Networking-Home-Theater-Receiver/1.html

The Microsoft Surface RT is targeted to those kind of people. The pro however has an Intel Core i5 processor, includes a digitizer stylus and a real version of Window 8. It is just like the tablet pcs of the last 10+ years except it is now lighter and cheaper than before. If the digitizer is good enough, I imagine many graphics artists may use it. I plan to use Adobe Illustrator, latex, etc. Good to know about disabling pagefile and hiberfile. I might just put Linux on it and certainly wouldn't need them taking up space. I guess I don't really need the space as I can keep stuff in online storage, I was just amazed by how much was "pre-installed." (My current tablet only has 60GB.)

I have been planning to get the new Microsoft Surface Pro when it comes out to replace my again Motion Computing slate tablet pc. It seems to have a decent stylus digitizer (although not a Wacom digitizer) and it a good price. However, I just saw this (from http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/tablet-pcs/1297429/microsoft-admits-surface-pro-128gb-storage-limited-to-83gb). "Microsoft's Surface Pro tablet, which is due to launch with a headline-grabbing 128GB of storage space, will only have 83GB of room for users' files. According to a statement from the company given to Softpedia, the 128GB Surface Pro device - ... - a chunk of its 128GB capacity is taken up by the operating system and pre-installed applications - leaving just 83GB of user-accessible space to store files." WTF? Are all Windows 8 computers like this? What in the hell could possibly come pre-installed?

My Ph.D. student was offered a postdoc today!

Was able to change the firmware to an older version (2.1.0) and still have the same problem. Sigh. It's beginning to look like a hardware problem.
