Morning Discussion
by Xav de Matos, Jan 25, 2011 5:00am PSTVacation's over. I really enjoyed my time away from work, exploring some of the great spots buried within Chicago. It was a hectic time in the city due to the face-off between the Bears and the Pack. It didn't turn out well for Bears fans.
What did turn out well was Never Not Funny, live at the Congress Theater. The show was hilarious as usual, Daver sang the theme and the crew sang along at the end. As an added bonus, I had the pleasure of meeting the crew. What a classy group of gentlemen.
Well, it's back to work for me. Next time I'll be sure to remember to take more than two days off. Maybe.

For those of you considering getting rid of your DS and picking up a 3DS, Gamestop's offering $100 in credit for the DSi XL, $75 for the DSi, and $50 for the DS Lite. The catch: you must use the trade-in credit toward a 3DS.

2010 Oscar nominees are scheduled to be announced in less than 30 minutes. Let's get the discussion started!
I think Ebert has a pretty good list over at http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20110123/OSCARS/110129995 -- however, I'm puzzled by his passing on Melissa Leo who I thought was just fantastic in The Fighter. If she doesn't get nominated for Best Supporting Actress, I'll be very surprised.
Who/what's on your list?

If I buy Visual Studio 2010, can I download the Crystal Reports version for Visual Studio .NET at http://www.businessobjects.com/jump/xi/crvs2010/default.asp and then use it to develop reports integrated with my application, then release my application to as many people as I want with no additional licensing costs or issues to consider? I just have to make sure I include the appropriate Crystal Reports runtime at http://www.businessobjects.com/jump/xi/crvs2010/us2_default.asp along with my application then, right? I just want to make sure before I purchase VS2010, because this is the primary reason why I'd be buying it. Thanks to anybody who can give a definitive answer on this!
(I looked at the website and stuff, but I'm dumb so I just need confirmation that I'm reading this right from someobdy smart)

My sister lost her iPhone. She used MobileMe or some shit to find it. We know the rough location, but now we're not really sure what to do. Like, text it and offer a cash reward or something? Gather a bunch of good ol' boys with bats and rakes and just grab that shit? This is weird.

So I guess the new Fantastic ThreeFour comes out today that kills off one of the members. So just like the Captain America death we will see how long this last but it will be at least a year without the Human Torch I am guessing. I guess there is always Ultimate Fantastic Four.

I've used Onenote and am trying out Evernote (free version), which I have heard a lot about. Evernote is really not impressing me.

What's a good ID3 tagging app? I have a bunch of mp3s untagged and I really don't want to tag these suckers by hand. Something that automatically parses filenames or something would be awesome.

Alleged problems include poor-quality video, glitches in the process for downloading video streams, and a small problem of the drone blinding itself with a laser.

I think it's using the gyroscope because the controls feel really accurate.
Anyway, I don't know how I lasted so long without this thing. All you guys praising it were completely right. Only bad thing so far is trying to convince my son to let me use it.
I'm slowly finding some great apps but could always use some recommendations. Any of you use a music subscription service on ios? I'm used to zune pass and am hoping to find something somewhat similar.

What a fantastic game. Environments were varied and all felt different. I haven't played it co-op yet, attn Loiosh Dwaggie. I went through SP and it probably took me about 10-12 hours over the weekend. I definitely took my time and was exploring most areas of each map.
The challenge/reward system is pretty cool too. I'm glad they let you go back after beating the game. I played with the 360 controller hooked up to the PC and it was very satisfying. Although jumping was a little wonky. Playing with a keyboard/mouse would probably be hard to use.
Overall, 4/5 freaking rads
