Damn, Apple is good. This is a screenshot of an iPhoto feature I’ve never known about until now: Adjust Date and Time. Let’s say you, like me, have a digital camera which you have not set with the correct date and time. Using this command, found in the Photos menu, you can adjust the date and time for a single photo in an Event… and iPhoto will auto-adjust all of the others, computing the correct date and time relative to the one you set. Brilliant.

“

Andy Ihnatko on Chrome:

The upshot: Each page you visit in Chrome runs as an isolated system process that can’t interfere with any other process. Chrome will manage that page’s demands so well that the page probably won’t affect system performance in the first place. If a script or resource on the page goes haywire, you can close it without bringing down the rest of the browser.

I still don’t see the big deal. I can’t remember the last time I had to quite Safari because of a problem with a specific website (ditto for FireFox on my school PC) and I just can’t see how Chrome matters to consumers. Web Developers, maybe, but consumers?”

It hurts

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 10:38:12 -0500

I’m sitting at the mechanic, waiting for them to finish servicing my car, trying desperately to ignore CNN News. So, I decided to read the KC Star instead, and ran across a letter to the editor which proposes that the government should “nationalize the big oil companies” so that prices will fall to 40 cents/gallon like they are in Saudi Arabia.

It depresses me that there are people in the world stupid enough to think this way.
