I'm in Pittsburgh...
any suggestions?
WatchThis video has reaffirmed why I love Steve Jobs and dislike Walt Mossberg.

I saw some other videos about this phone, and it’s pretty damn strong despite what you see here. Apparently they were letting people hammer nails into the screen and they showed that the phone actually be used to hammer a nail into wood.
I’m sure this was just a manufacturing defect…
So...
… Avatar is pretty much Dances With Wolves with aliens, right?

BetterTouchTool is incredible. It turns the Magic Mouse and the trackpad into incredibly useful tools. Also, it’s updated almost every day with new features.
