  1. @wisie whoa, sucks big time dude :( Must have been one hell of a shot, right?
  2. @KittenOmelette totally. But I liked knowing how much data I’ve put through my server’s ethernet port :)
  3. Temporary power out. Making me lose my uptime >:(
  4. @MrJesseRoss same. I don’t follow Eurovision at all, but I find it fascinating that so many of you love it. It’s great! :)
  5. @bonita_218 good thing you’re not a cat, then.
  6. Day Z should just be re-named Running Simulator 2012.
  7. @PeteDillon woo! Nice one Pete! :)
  8. @Morn that’s what my 10-stop is for! :)
  9. Possible location for long exposures, maybe? img.ly/iFCb
  10. @jpoh couldn't find any other sources for this. Looked around, and now HuffPo have updated their article...
  11. Seriously: mad kudos to @decryption and @ClueyKid for putting together @omtconf this weekend. Wish I could have made it, it'll be great! :)
  12. I've long thought that keyword muting on Twitter should come in the form of regular expressions. I love Tweetbot. macstories.net/reviews/tweetb…
  13. @funwithstuff just the fact that it's tied to the MAS and not its own app. But I'm being super-nitpicky here, it's not a big deal at all.
  14. @Joshlegg86 yeah, but that doesn't work if you imported the CD or, uh, acquired it via other means.
  15. @vaempyr oh, right. But what's Spotify for if it can't play you the music you want, when you want it? Music discovery, maybe. Hmm.
  16. @vaempyr not really, just thought it was an interesting comparison seeing as they're doing very similar things (music in the cloud etc).
  17. I believe iTunes Match wins in this particular use-case. Your whole library, wherever you are (theoretically, anyway).
  18. You want to play a song. It's in your library at home, but you find it's not available on Spotify and, of course, not synced to your device.
  19. @funwithstuff will you be buying from the MAS or direct? Not sure if iCloud is enough to sell me on MAS "lock-in".
