Remember that camera that where you could change focus? Well, you can order it today and it'll probably get to you before the next iPhone does. Anyone else want one? http://thisismynext.com/2011/10/19/lytro-plenoptic-light-field-camera-pre-orders-today-shipping-2012/ **BRENT**

Enjoyed the pics, CB. Who's that smilin' foo' with the crappy headphones? **BRENT**

FWIW, I noticed that you can sign up without facebook if you sign up through the mobile app... but as far as I can tell, it's FB only on the website. Sounds like I should check out MOG for paid, and have Spotify around in the free edition guise. **BRENT**

@Jeff... what happened? **BRENT**

Love you too, Al! (You rat bastard.) Would've loved to have been there with you kids. Digging the pix, guys. Keep 'em comin'... and will someone, for the love of Satan, please get JP a Papa John's pizza with the works. I'll cover it if you get a pic or video of the delivery. **BRENT**

Here's lookin' at you, kid. Glad you had a good day, hope you have many more. *hugs* **BRENT**

Try logging out of your account in MOG and then try to create a new account. I don't see a way to do it without facebook connect, do you? I know I didn't do it with Spotify, but now it seems you have to go through facebook... wondering if MOG followed suit. I've been thinking about doing MOG, Spotify, or Rdio, as a premium member, so I have plenty to listen to on the work rig. I figure, for the cost of a CD per month, it's worth it, but I'm not sure which. I used Rdio's mobile app, but wasn't too impressed. Spotify doesn't have a free trial of that, and I'm not sure MOG does either, but I'm going to see. **BRENT**

Is there a way to sign up for MOG without facebook? I don't mind doing it, but I didn't see an option to do it another way. I saw some have issues with the facebook only login of Spotify, wanted to see if MOG still had that advantage. Also, anyone else try Rdio? I had a week trial with the Mobile App. It was OK, used it a bit. Sound quality wasn't that great,, though. **BRENT**

Did anyone see that Spotify updated their terms and conditions yesterday? After 6 months from date the account is made, there are unlimited hours played and unlimited track plays in the ad supported free version. However, after 6 months, you are limited to 10 hours of listening and 5 individual track plays per month. Anyone else using Spotify? **BRENT**

I really like the wifi sync on the iPad. I ripped a few CDs last night, then just drug them over while the iPad was in my bag. It messed with me the first couple of times, though... I saw "Eject MexicanDragon's iPad" when iTunes popped up randomly. The device was in my bag 5 feet away from my laptop. It took me a couple times of closing iTunes before I realized that it WAS, in fact, connected. Magical, revolutionary. **BRENT**

Google+ ad in the NYT. I watched it live, and it was pretty great. **BRENT**

Paging Al to YouTube please... Al to YouTube. **BRENT**

Colin's sauce. This makes me want Siri... though, for me, I think it'd be like that cool app I have on the phone that I bring out once a month or so to show someone. **BRENT**

Having trouble? This is confirmed to work. List of .ipsw files from Apple. http://gdgt.com/discuss/anyone-experiencing-upgrade-issues-with-ios-5-go7/#post-id-133585 **BRENT**

We had an "Over-The-Hill" party for Zoe's first birthday. Definitely for the parents. Zoe dug having her own small cake on the top of her high chair. The pix were great, and the sugar-crash-induced-nap, also for the parents, was pretty nice as well. Birthdays are coming up in a couple weeks (Xavier, 6) and 6 weeks (Zoe, 9). There's a place around here that has an indoor pool that's about 100$ for room for 25 swimmers and up to 100 guests. I figure that's going to destroy Chuck E. Cheese for the kids who haven't been able to go swimming in a while. On more painful news, I just called out of work, as for the past two days, I've been on-and-off screaming in pain. I think I'm having some growing pains with respect to nerve regeneration. Sharp shooting pains on the bottom of my foot that just render me completely useless (insert grawk comment here) for a while are getting annoying. Hopefully another day of rest (and Breaking Bad, and Psych, and The Walking Dead (now on Netflix Streaming, btw)) will help. Maybe a trip to the package store as well, after I take Xavier for his check-up today. Back to sleep... **BRENT** **BRENT**

DP I hate you. That is all. Cordially, **BRENT**

I think you're both a bit naive on this point. **BRENT**

:rollseyes: **BRENT**

If you guys didn't see this, Samsung and Google delayed the launch of the Nexus Prime and Ice Cream Sandwich out of respect for the passing of S. Jobs. I listened to the almost 2.5 hour live coverage recording from Leo Laporte and the TWiT crew at work today. I was getting a little choked up myself. **BRENT**

@Justin... why not just wait for the Droid RAZR? WRT dual core 4s vs single core 4, or iPod Touch, or whatever you kids were talking about... it's going to be snappier now, sure, but you won't notice a HUGE difference between them now. When you'll notice is in a year, when more and more apps take advantage of coding for dual cores. In 18 months, it'll be the difference between a 3 year old phone and a year and a half old phone. When it was just slight updates of RAZRs, that wasn't a huge deal... if your phone worked, it worked. Maybe you could get a few more contacts, or hold a couple more txts, but with smartphones, you'll probably be annoyed with a 3 year old phone (design). Justin, do you have an iPad yet? I'd probably look into getting a 32 or 64 gig iPad2 (wifi, unless you find a good deal on a used 3G, or just want 130 extra on the tax write off), and you could use that with the camera dock + your DAC as a demo for people. Like Dan said, 32 is the happy medium, but I think you'd be fine with the 16. Unless you want movies on it, I doubt there's much of a point for what I expect you to use it for. **BRENT**

If you just saw a transcript... RIP, Steve. **BRENT**
