• Commented on PearBudget -- awesomely simple expense tracking application
  $3/month? Yikes. I've been using the same edition of quicken for 7 years. That would have cost me hundreds of dollars for this Pear thing. Don't they know web services have to be free? One problem with Mint, for the...

  I don't like that they dip the sandwich for you. I don't want my french dip to be pre-dipped! I want to dip it myself between each and every bite. I know it's a classic, but I just wish they'd...
• Commented on Medical transcriptionist melts keyboard with fingertips
  I long ago wore off the lettering on those two keys, and only those two keys. It seems odd as they're not the most used. What makes N and M so special? All the keys on the home row, for...

• Commented on Loads more US caselaw online for free
  I wish more lawyers like those commenting above realized that the legal profession has sadly failed in its obligations to the public at large and many more lawyers need to think more about public service and less about their own...
• Commented on Loads more US caselaw online for free
  I recognize that this is just one step in a larger process, but it's not, without more, particularly useful. The services that Westlaw and LexisNexis provide are not merely access to this information, but the ability to easily search and...

• Commented on Ford: Car owners are pirates if they distribute pictures of their own cars

• Commented on Tim Burton to direct Alice in Wonderland
  ACB: I was going to say that I wish it were based on American McGee's Alice. They started that one time (starring Sarah Michelle Gellar!) and gave up. The story and tone are dead on for Burton's sensibilities....
