• I like ‘warp’ the space sliding application, but it breaks the ability to switch to another space when you click an app in the dock. sigh #
• @vincezof, I like it, so that I can encode stuff and not have it take up all of my desktop real estate #
• @vincezof, yeah, except I need to keep track of the progress and it’s easier not to hide it or put it in the dock #
• @vincezof, the difference is that I can have it run in the background and instantly switch back without having to do anything after … #
• … I check on it, and switch back to another space #
• ok, despite the fact that I don’t like digg, it’s not a bad song… http://tinyurl.com/33vjcp #
• waiting for BF2142 to finish being patched so I can play it! and did you know that if you view a plist file in the contents the patch … #

Here is the press release from Thinksecret…

December 20, 2007 – PRESS RELEASE: Apple and Think Secret have settled their lawsuit, reaching an agreement that results in a positive solution for both sides. As part of the confidential settlement, no sources were revealed and Think Secret will no longer be published. Nick Ciarelli, Think Secret’s publisher, said “I’m pleased to have reached this amicable settlement, and will now be able to move forward with my college studies and broader journalistic pursuits.”

Apple has been trying to sue Thinksecret for ‘supposed’ trade secrets. But technically everything they do is just ‘rumor’ and speculation site, and not actually passing on trade secrets. I don’t get why Apple has to be a pain about this, but oh well.. hopefully Thinksecret will continue to cover Apple news none-the-less.
