Apple store online has lots of great bargains, today only – why aren’t I getting paid to do this again?

I want a new iTouch, somebody, OK? Is that too much, to ask?

It was a blink and you missed it moment, I think it was supposed to be some lame attempt at subliminal advertising, like that routine Kevin Nealon used to do on SNL, except it was even less funnier and left the viewer confused.

“What, what, I don’t get it … was that like part of the show? What, a commercial? What were they selling? Online porn? Oh, good, that’s the Family Guy demographic and I likes online porn! Where do I go online to get it? Is it over? Now what? Okay, I’m hungry. Now I gotta’ poop!”

Anyway some cupcake named David the Parrot waffles on about this thing on his Borg Blog, where you can watch some lame-o Family Guy Win7 clips (not the one I saw last night).

O.K., now I gotta’ poop.

Avowed Windows user Scott Meyer recounts his travails of upgrading from Vista.  The money quote here :”When am I gonna live down buying Windows ME?” “Same time Microsoft lives down making it.”"So, never. Awesome!”

Update: I am really sick of typing online, as mistakes happen unintentionally, because freakin’ AJAX app can’t freakin’ keep up, and WordPress has a sucky dictionary. Hell, the dictionary in Firefox is fabtabulous (that is intentional word I made up, btw) but WordPress disables it and suppresses it with it’s own sucky software. Yet, this is the freakin’ future folks, and we’re all being stampeded off the edge of this cliff – you’re either die fighting against the stampede or you take your chances diving off the cliff with the rest of the flash mob – “GERONIMO, MUTHAFUCKAS!”

Giving Chrome a real workout…running the dev channel 4.0.249.11 version at the moment, at least until it implodes on me.  I noticed this on that “visited sites” tab.  The link takes you here.  (I was hoping to see some humongous extension gallery that had just launched, but no.)  Maybe this means they are right around the corner, eh?  (Update: that little blurb is now missing.  Definite conspiracy action here.)

So it seems that there’s a TV station in Mobile, Alabama, that wanted to get “Cutting-edge.”  So they decided to put up a billboard with their three smiling anchors, accompanied with a real-time Twitter feed.  As a result, Mobile is all atwitter about the whole thing.

TechCrunch reports that there are only about 8 bugs in the way of a Chrome for Mac beta.

The top three spots on the laptop list are all held by the MacBook Pro.  But that might not be what ends up under the tree.

Usually, Wal-Mart rules on Thanksgiving, with Amazon taking the lead on Cyber Monday.  This story and chart indicates Amazon is closing the gap on Turkey Day.  Either way, they’re both making a boatload of cash.

Have it advertise a competing product. 

Today, we observe the eighth anniversary of the passing of a wonderfully funny and talented bloke. An avid gardener, a successful film producer, a devoted family man, a spiritual journeyman, a Monty Python aficionado, a multi-platinum recording artist, a quiet Beatle and a rather good Traveling Wilbury. You are missed and well loved. Thank you for your music, your films, your humor, your thoughts and your presence.

Update:Thanks Brinke for spelling alert. I fault AJAX , it’s still not perfect yet, IMO
