“App updates are a joke – seriously have you ever tried updating your apps in iTunes, then get the error, that the updates iTunes just listed are out of date and need to be refreshed? Then you go through the same cycle 15 times before you can download one update? Yeah happens every time.”

- Hi, My Name Is iTunes and I Am a Hoarder

A-ha! So I’m not the only one that’s constantly running into that problem. iTunes should provide auto-update for Apps and be done with it. I can’t think of a single instance where I didn’t want to upgrade an app to the latest version.

Fish in a barrel

Fish in a barrel:

Apple came out with updated Mac Pros and iMacs today. I’m an iMac man myself, so that’s what I checked out. Looks nice! … Hardware isn’t my strong suit, but I know half a thing about website design. So let’s look at the websites for Apple’s primary desktop computer, and the same from Dell and HP.

Neven’s hilariously brutal comparison of the websites for the iMac and its competition from Dell and HP. I especially like so how the minimalistic elegance (or lack thereof!) of each site is perfectly reflected by their respective URLs.

Bravo, sir!

merlin:

Van Halen - “Eruption” (ca. 1982?)

This is pretty boss—even by EVH/Eruption standards. Tosses in some “Little Guitars” for good measure too.

… and the intro from “Mean Street” from “Fair Warning”, which I consider to be the best album they ever made. It’s been almost thirty years (!!) since I first heard “Unchained” and I still can’t help but turn up the volume every time it comes into rotation.

Maybe my favorite-to-quote Arrested Development line. Always good in a Starbucks.

Arrested Development was one of the best TV shows ever. The executives that decided to cancel it deserve a kick square in the nards.

My favorite-to-quote AD line comes from this exchange between George Michael and Uncle Oscar. My bladder still hasn’t fully recovered from hearing that line the first time.
