As near as I can tell (via testing from two computers) iTunes version 7.4.1 corrupts my 3G iPod. Things seem better with 7.4.2. (I might mention 7.4.1 was only out for a day or two.)
I'm sure Apple would love me to buy a new iPod - and I will - "real soon now" - but my current iPod works pretty well! (The only substantial problem is that it doesn't remember where I am in a podcast if I switch away.)
So while the testing on older iPods might not be perfect, I do appreciate that the problem was caught and fixed pretty quickly.

Virgin Play
GameDaily BIZ: New Moves at SCEA, dtp and Virgin Play:
Wow. I worked with Tim Chaney back in 1993 at Virgin Interactive. He was the Managing Director of Virgin UK. I should probably remember Mike Merren but I don't. (*Sigh*.)
Interesting that Virgin Play is headquartered in Spain.

Washlet S400 Features
Washlet S400 Features
Pretend you're at a fancy hotel in Tokyo! Buy yourself a Washlet.
Feel fresh!
This reminds me of a description I heard about heated seats in cars.
"All the benefits and none of the problems of peeing in your pants."

Brutal Attack - Woot!
Bush's stairway to paradise | Salon.com:
The main article is the most brutal attack on Bush I have ever read. (And I read Vanity Fair magazine.) It portrays Bush as a simp that was supposed to be manipulated by Cheney in accordance with Bush Sr. directives but then Cheney decided to go his own way and butt fuck all of us directly.
I liked this article. Bush is a moron (but then, you knew that already, didn't you?).
...flattery always requires deference. Every morning, Josh Bolten, the chief of staff, greets Bush with the same words: 'Thank you for the privilege of serving today.'

John Botti, who used to work with me at Virgin Interactive, and who made some significant enhancements to Dave Perry's game engine (back in the day), is developing a series of videos on how to get into the game business. If you visit his site you can scroll down and see him with Leo Laporte on "The Lab" talking about hi-def video capture and editing.

The First Rule of Debugging
Mr. Koenig has also posted the Zeroth Rule of Debugging but personally I would reverse the order of these rules. I think the First Rule is more important than the Zeroth Rule.
