Lion is Apple’s Vista. There, I said it.
The latest batch of red is stellar:
Stew meat (2 lbs)
Diced tomatoes (2 cans)
Jalapeños (2)
Tomatillos (2)
White onions (1½)
Crushed corn chips (½ bag; salty thickener (thanks Alton))
Half-bottle of beer (good stuff, not the cheap yellow stuff)
Chili powder (to color and taste)
Sear the meat, but leave rare. Dice up the veggies. Dump it all into a slow cooker, cake on the chili powder,...

It’s no longer PEBCAK. It’s MEATFAIL. Also, we’re no longer “waiting on the user”. Oh no. We’re in MEATWAIT.
The great part is we developers have at least a good year os usage ahead of us before the muggles figure it out.

Finally, the real reason Eccleston left Who, and it makes perfect sense.

parislemon:
Earlier today, Google+ made a move to ban all accounts not actually tied to people but instead tied to brands. This wasn’t surprising, they’ve been saying they were going to do this — it’s exactly why we never set up a TechCrunch account.
Knowing this, Mashable created one anyway. And quickly amassed 100,000+ followers. Sure enough, Google banned the account this morning.
But...
Mac OS X Lion on a USB Stick →
Users who do not have broadband access at home, work or school can download Lion at Apple retail stores and later this August, Lion will be made available on a USB thumb drive through the Apple Store® (www.apple.com) for $69 (US). Mac OS X Lion Server requires Lion and is available from the Mac App Store for $49.99 (US).
Now that’s the best news I’ve heard so far. I can get a...

Pure win.
So, Microsoft … my iPhone and iPad can watch Netflix without getting hot and burning the house down but Silverlight takes over two full cores on a 64-bit CPU to watch a video? Seriously? Come on!

Mac and Cheese Hipster?
Asher: You have phony mac and cheese.
Me: No, I have chili-mac. It has chili in the mac and cheese.
Asher: I have real mac and cheese. This better. Daddy have phony mac and cheese.
Me: It's the same thing.
Asher: No. Not the same thing. Eww. That gross.
What Netflix Isn't Saying
Netflix jacked their rates for Instant Watch + DVD delivery and gave a lame-ass excuse for it. It was calculated to be lame, however, because if they used the real reason for it prices might go even higher.
The Internet’s memory is short so let’s go back a week ago to when Netflix lost the Sony movies and almost lost Starz. Why did that happen? Netflix WI subscribers passed a...
Curiously, watching an SD Netflix on the Wii results in poorer quality than the same SD show on the Apple TV. Go upsampling, I suppose.

Someday I’ll look back on him running around the store saying “I have a penis!” at the top of his lungs and think it’s as funny as he does now.

“It’s PB&J time!” —Ash
So, of course, I had to show him a clip of that. And, of course, now he’s addicted.

I can’t begin to describe just how evil this idea is. I don’t mean evil in the “oh cool!” way but in the “this is horribly, horribly wrong — it’s the worst possible solution” kind of way.
They couldn’t be bothered to rewrite an app for the Mac so the ported UIKit to Mac OS X instead. And now everyone is able to use this abomination to keep...

“It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be...”
– John Adams
Why yes, Apple, downloading books and programs for my mobile phone DOES make perfect sense as a feature of a media player.
Mac App Store can be its own program, so why not call it the Apple Store (shocker!) and sell everything in that app instead? Then, how about we break out syncing to the OS level where iSync and SyncServices live like we used to do with the Sony Ericson devices and let...
Finally eating my freakin’ dinner.
Who hit Google with the pretty stick? Did they accidentally hire a UI designer?
