Dear Aunt TUAW: Why are there TV Squad Posts in your RSS feeds? {TUAW.com}
May 7th 2010 2:54PM Are you guys able to advise Yahoo that TV Squad is still feeding instead of both TUAW and Luxist?

What to do when your Mac dies {TUAW.com}
May 1st 2010 12:27AM I recently had my iMac drive fail with catastrophic results. It failed gradually and was apparently sending incorrect file size information to my Time Machine that caused TM to think it needed to delete backup files to make room. By the time the iMac failed, the TM drive was almost empty. ;{(

I wish I had kept all my early 1980's Apple II mags. Yeah, but I also wish my mother hadn't thrown away my complete 1950-52 Bowman major league baseball card sets.

FireWire feedback from readers and Apple {TUAW.com}
Oct 17th 2008 11:37PM I helped a friend buy a new 13" MacBook today. First step was to migrate files from her 2003 iBook running OSX 10.3.9.
After - for some reason - not being able to create a disk image of her old hard drive, I called Apple Support to see what they recommended.
I went through two levels of Apple Support and - incredibly - neither level was aware that the new MacBooks don't have a Firewire port. One support guy actually argued with me until I told him to look at a picture of the new laptop. "How about that - you're right - there is no Firewire port."
Geez. I thought I had tumbled down Alice's rabbit hole.
In the end, I copied her user folder to an external drive, then moved the files to her new MacBook. Not very elegant because I had to do a lot of tweaking and installing that wouldn't have been necessary under the old FW-to-FW process.

Sep 17th 2008 11:01PM Chemistry.
The first two MS ads were plodding things featuring too much talk between two guys who have no chemistry.
Apple's ad success is built on two actors with chemistry and a fairly light touch. They get on, make a point, then exit.
Kind of like the difference between MS and Apple - one plodding, the other fun.

You properly skewered MS who have long been a drag-anchor on global productivity.
