    The Mac Apps Thread: Useful tools for Macs/iPhone/Etc.

    It's been a while since we've had a Mac user powwow on NG.com, so I thought I'd see what fellow Mac peeps are using to get work done. Dragoman - by Creativebe For: OS X This app has been a godsend for me lately. It's a batch file converter, and while there are literally hundreds of these for...

    iPad: who got one?

    Well, I got up at 5 am and decided to take the plunge. I live across the street from an Apple store in NoVA, so I just rolled out of bed and went outside. Like other Apple launches, the line was a lot of fun. I met a bunch of fun people, a little geek camaraderie ensued, the usual. Anyway...

    American Politics, How to Become Apathetic

    I'm gonna rant for a little bit, and hope some decent discussion comes out of it. Pardon me. I've been a member here for a while, probably seven years now, and for those that know me I've definitely been a vocal one, for better or for worse. I've definitely calmed down over the past year or...

    DC Snopocalypse

    Is anyone other than wasabi and I feeling the hurt from this? Don't get me wrong, I love me some snow, but DC wasn't built to handle this much and everyone here freaks out at the first sign of slush on the road...let alone 20 inches.

    Google Chrome OS - Anybody interested?

    Google just finished their presentation on their forthcoming flavor or linux and it was pretty damned interesting. For those that didn't follow it, here are a few take aways: - All applications and data will be stored in "the cloud", i.e. at Google. - The file system is encrypted...

    The Skeptics Thread

    Thought it might be interesting to hear how many of us on these boards are of the Atheist, Agnostic, and Skeptic variety. Not trying to dole out flame bait, just curious. I "came out" as an atheist to a few of my friends at dinner a couple of months ago and was absolutely astounded at just how...

    Windows 7: Thoughts, Tips, Etc.

    Searched around and couldn't find anything of substance on the issue, so I thought I'd get a conversation started since it's been so long. Anyone playing around with it? Any thoughts? I've been virtualizing 7 and have installed it on a Boot Camp partition as well, though that does some...

    FS/T: Like New Wii w/ No More Heroes and Strongbad

    Hey all. So I've used this Wii a total of maybe 4 times and I'm not impressed. I'd like to get rid of the Wii (late model w/ silicone Wiimote sleeve), No More Heroes, and 3rd party component cables for about $280 + shipping. I'm really looking to trade for some cool stuff though, so here's my...

    The Electoral College Map

    Dunno if this deserves its own thread as it's less about policy than strategy, but this year the electoral college is really really interesting as far as possibilities go. So, here is a link to CNN's electoral map. It's actually a pretty decent tool for parsing possibilities. Using this tool...

    Anyone picking up the Android Phone next month?

    The G1 looks pretty interesting, I'm gonna see if I can snag one unlocked and play around with it next month. Assuming the development will work as promised...there should be an unlock app available pretty soon through the Android Marketplace. I'd love to see how it holds up against my beloved 3G.
