Update: wwriteiPhone has been submitted to Apple http://j.mp/aadq8b #
@flargh @jsnell the first couple of times I tried, the iTunes 10 link was beginning to download 9.2.1. All fixed now though. in reply to jsnell #
@macosken you can now begin pinging people with iTunes 10… http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ #
@northernbelle01 we get 90 degrees + here in Chicago area too… not typically for months, but it's usually above 80 for months on end in reply to northernbelle01 #
@northernbelle01 it would make anybody miserable. in reply to northernbelle01 #
check out the preview for wwriteiPhone for the iPhone and iPod Touch. All the info is available at http://j.mp/wwriteiPhone #fb #
@DaveHamilton Which would then make the new iPods usable on a G5 and G4 as well, or one would assume anyway… in reply to DaveHamilton #
@macgasm yes… why would it be any other time? in reply to macgasm #
@macgasm @macfusiongirl the digg RSS feed now has links to the original source, so there's one way of getting the links. in reply to macgasm #
@bldngnerd But you don't NEED color… at least that's what Ive would say in reply to bldngnerd #
@anandshimpi so does that mean that 10.7 will be colorless? it's all black and white logos everywhere in reply to anandshimpi #
@bldngnerd It's what is best for you. You need to see things in black in white to truly appreciate the color? in reply to bldngnerd #
Wait… does ping interoperate with the Zune software? Because all of my music is on the Zune, not on iTunes… #
@notasausage you just now start to worry? as long as he isn't putting those in reports it should be ok, maybe… in reply to notasausage #
@mikenayyar I actually like my zune. It does what I need, podcasts and music. Plus for my $14.95 I get 10 songs plus all the music I want in reply to mikenayyar #

@bradyv updating it now… in reply to bradyv #
@randallb that's not as bad as the 'You must Restart OS X' due to a kernel panic… yours can possibly be fixed by a logoff and login in reply to randallb #
@ZuneSupport A feature request I have is the ability to 2x the speed of a podcast or audiobook. that's the only reason i still use my iPod.. in reply to ZuneSupport #

@XboxSupport No problem, it just seems weird that the 'View Desktop Version' would show a desktop version not just redirect back to mobi ver in reply to XboxSupport #
@XboxSupport It's alright. It's just a bug in the programming on the xbox.com website that it's not honoring the 'view desktop' link in reply to XboxSupport #
@peretti I don't think as though that is necessarily good for VCs, VC seekers or the web as a whole to be so limited in physical location. #
