"10.6.2 update improves MobileMe iDisk and syncing performance." I'll give it a try. It'd be wonderful to see iDisk become useful again.
I'm down for family members' emails that support why they dislike or disagree with Obama. But I draw the line at racist bumper stickers.

I'm with @marcoarment, I hate all iPhone weather apps. I don't care about weather in 5,942 cities at once. Show more info about MY city.
RT @flargh: Don't wait for Apple to roll out a tablet: OWC just dropped the price of the Axiotron Modbook big-time. http://bit.ly/1fWiFw

Motorola: We got a massive comeback, Android 2.0, and an app store in the bag. What's the most stupendous way we could screw this up?
