How is it?  Does it look decent?

I'm downloading it now but I'm dubious because I'm not a Unity fan.

The last install I had was Lucid, so I don't know that I've seen Unity at all.

Check out Soundtrckr on the Chrome app store, it's free. It's like Pandora, lala, and facebook put together. Good sound quality too. This could be something big.

It's a totally different animal, it's a radio service akin to Pandora, but it has no commercials and runs more smoothly and has better sound quality and more obscure music.

I see.

yeah, I may use this soundtrckr every once in a while, but Grooveshark is still godly. :worship: Grooveshark.

grooveshark is nice. I think you'll dig the social aspect of soundtrckr, it matches you up with other people in your neighborhood that like the same kinds of music.

Does the Chrome yellow auto-fill boxes work for you here?  They don't for me (and they never have).  My user name is correct but my password is hidden, obviously.  And when I click login I get an error message,  "Password incorrect".  What appears to be being sent is the black dots rather than the actual password.

Now, the auto-fill does work in Chrome for gMail.

I never noticed this because I usually just log in and stay logged in forever, but you're right, it doesn't work with Chrome.  Firefox works fine though.  IE9 doesn't seem to offer to remember at all.

I always stay logged in too, but I have had it not work before and the saved info didn't work either.  Never really thought much about it since it is so rare, is it actually sending ••••••• ?

Either way, easy solution:  use IE9 where it doesn't remember it anyway so no way it can fail :P

Can anyone tell me how to convert the videos from my BlackBerry to something my Windows Media Player will recognize?  Or ITunes?  I took some video of my first rehearsal for a play I'm working on but can't get them to convert.  I'd love to send them to my director for archival purposes....

:?

Well, searching on google, it seems that Blackberry uses .3gp for video recording.  Try Any Video Converter and see if you can't convert it to something you can use like mp4 or avi.

I HATE IT!  It appears they tried to dumb it down from 10.10 and they succeeded like GANG BUSTERS!

Does virtualbox 4 suck ass or is it just my imagination?  I've never seen a Linux installation crawl along so slowly.

I'm installing Ubuntu 11.04 b2 on it right now, and it is taking a while.  Of course, it is on my MBP :P

Actually turns out that it DOES suck ass, at least on the Core i7 line of CPUs.  Installed the old 3.1.x version and it's much MUCH faster.

Ok, I'm finally going to start using Linux again.  Anyone got a flavour they prefer?  I'm using a MBP with VMware Fusion.

Mandriva and Ubuntu are the best, CentOS would be next, I guess.

Are you using those in a VM?
