Colorado Livin...
I took a mountain bike trip once in CO in general and focused mostly around Crested Butte. It was fantastic on many levels. My best experience was the people. They were all so ... outdoors. Odd to me was how hard it was to tell how old people were when they were in great shape. It's a cool... -

Itouch vs. Iphone question
Camera. The Touch doesn't have a camera. Yet. (There's very good evidence that the camera was left out due to faulty parts, and that it's on the way as an updated Touch.) Oh, and I think the Touch might lack the compass also. Has the accelerometer. That's useful for games. I think it also... -

That's awesome. I forwarded the link to my wife. -

Any wine fans?
Great thread! I'm definitely a wine fan, but I grew up on wines that I absolutely cannot afford so I pretty much don't even drink at all any more. If I drink mediocre stuff I wake up the next day groggy and with a headache. If I drink something I can't afford (e.g. 1st-growth Bordeaux) I wake... -

I think I know something else Apple is going to do
Oh! I missed that info. I found it now at the AppleInsider. (Do you believe it's just for iTunes? I suppose it could be just that.) Thank you! I still think it'd be advantageous to get the new OS from the 'net rather than a DVD. At 1 to 1.5 GB for updates when folks get a new Mac, I don't see... -

I think I know something else Apple is going to do
Oh, I only meant the OS would install as a grab from the Internet instead of being distributed on a DVD. Once you have it installed, it'd be local as it is now. Seems to me that all the technology is in place for that, including network/remote OS install as appeared with the MacBook Air, but... -

I think I know something else Apple is going to do
With deference to js for his thread, here's my take on another recent Apple move. Maybe some of you can give me a rationality check on this... - Apple comes out with remote OS installation. This was introduced with the MacBook Air. Just enough ROM in the hardware to know how to connect... -

What are your secrets for staying young looking?
Off-topic, but the mfr's are required to get the alcohol percentage right. To do that they add water. It's a bummer, but that's what they have to do. -

Today was a very good day.
Yeah. Also, I read there are a lot of Marvel rides over at Universal Studios park. I wonder how that's going to turn out. -

Cell phone radiation and ovens
At first I thought the effect sounded totally implausible. Then I realized my iPhone causes rather loud noise from my car's audio speakers even when the radio is off. It happens when the phone checks in for email & other syncing. "Brrrraaaap.. badip dip dip dip" go my car speakers. I wonder... -

What are your secrets for staying young looking?
Yep. You're right. The QuackWatch report also supports the objections, and even warns of possible contribution toward breast carcinoma. My personal reflex is to reject any pill claims then take a wait & see approach. I can't think of one type that has stood up to its initial claims after being... -

What are your secrets for staying young looking?
I vaguely recall that fasting, or at least not having much to eat for extended periods, seems to slow aging. Same as what Hoople said. At least it did in some study with rats or some such critter that we're supposed to be enough like. In the "take a pill" camp, there's also "resveratrol", a... -

Allergies: Macadamia nut & Black wasp
First thing -- Of course you should be getting these answers from your allergist. After that, I have to say that your allergist might also be able to inform you of some really interesting stuff aside from simply helping you with the imperatives. For example, I am allergic to nearly all fruit... -

parts of the body question
Sorry to dig this thread out of the depths, but I've been racking my feeble brain trying to think of the term because I thought there really was one. All I can come up with is... "Friar patch" Like Friar Tuck of the Robin Hood stories and other paintings of typical friars who for whatever... -

Oh doesn't this look swell
Looks right on track for CT, but before that... stinks to be in Bermuda later this week. Here in MA we haven't had a hurricane in forever, certainly not a big one. I'm not hoping for one either. Regardless, the State sure is making me pay a pretty high price for the possibility of a big bad one... -

Am I off my nut by noticing the tint shift?
I know the sun's shifting because since last week I'm now finally able to park my black car in the shade again behind the house. Early to mid summer there's no relief. I do have a garage but I can't get my car into it for a variety of reasons. (Right now my bay's filled with the kid's stuff... -

Migraine Advice Sharing
Maybe this'll be useful info, I don't know... My wife has a friend who was getting migraines all the time. This might be relevant -- she checked the side-effects of the birth control medication she was taking. "May cause headaches" was at the top of the list. She stopped taking it and the... -

Any of your computer guys buy a SSD (solid state disk) yet?
I put one in a new MacBook Pro I bought my sister for her birthday. It's very fast, very noticeably fast, but as with anything else there are significant differences among all these things so when looking into getting one check BOTH the write as well as the read speed. There are 2 technologies...
