Maybe it’s just some combination of being a Seattleite and thus used to a plethora of microbrews at reasonable prices, and having a thirst for such, but the coverage of this Obama/Gates/Crowley “beer summit” is making my eyes roll.
First is the journalists reaching for their folksy thesaurus, bringing up words like “suds” and “frosties,” which somehow...

Incredible playing. Makes the theremin so much more than a novelty. Wait for the “upright bass” solo.

I’ve almost forgotten that my Netflix subscription has a disc element since I’ve gotten the streaming setup on my Xbox.

I like Zappos, I like Amazon. I like Amazon’s site, I like Zappos’ shoes. This is perfect.
TheGreat West Seattle Wild Berry Hunt

It’s astonishingly bad. Everything about it. Windows. IE8. Windows Update. Microsoft Update. Automatic updates. Windows Geniune Advantage™. MSN Messenger. The Desktop Cleanup Wizard. Everything. I can’t believe how many people use Windows every day, and how much collective aggravation, wasted time, and damage to our industry has been caused by Microsoft’s sloppiness.
Even with every...

I’m always a little dubious of graphs that lack units — they somehow seem made up — but it’s pretty fun to watch this line wander around.
If you use Instapaper, and you should, you share articles with me and see my favorite ones by punching in mac dot justice at that google mail using the “Create a folder: Another user’s Starred items” feature. I’d like to read yours. No, I’m being serious.
