Here&#39;s how to get total finger control with a tiny app, or go further with a driver swap.&quot;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/minimalmac.com\/post\/450481389\/its-not-a-bargain-if-you-dont-need-it\" title=\"It's not a bargain if you don't need it\">It&#8217;s not a bargain if you don&#8217;t need it<\/a>: &quot;Let&#39;s just say there is one of these bundles &#8212; lets just call it MacTheft &#8212; and the price for eleven apps is $19.95. And, let&#39;s just say they promise to give $5.00 of your purchase to starving children in cataclysmicly devastated regions of the world. Therefore, the price of the software &#8212; all eleven apps &#8212; is theoretically $14.95. But, let&#39;s just say there is only two apps out of the eleven that you really think you need. Here is a crazy idea to try&#8230; Buy the apps outright, full-price, directly from the developer.&quot;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/nsw\/sexless-in-the-city-a-gender-revolution-20100311-q1l2.html\" title=\"Norrie First Registered Sexless Person\">Norrie First Registered Sexless Person<\/a>: &quot;THIS Mardi Gras, Norrie received a gift that no other androgynous person in NSW has had before. The night before the parade, the postman brought a certificate from the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages that contained neither the dreaded &#39;&#39;M&#39;&#39; nor its equally despised cousin, &#39;&#39;F&#39;&#39;. Instead, it said &#39;&#39;sex not specified&#39;&#39;, making the 48-year-old Sydneysider, who identifies as neuter and uses only a first name, the first in the state to be neither man nor woman in the eyes of the NSW government.&quot;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bobkrist.com\/blog\/frommers-now-fing-freelancers-and-photo-enthusiasts\/\" title=\"Frommer&rsquo;s Now F&rsquo;Ing Both Freelancers and Photo Enthusiasts!\">Frommer&rsquo;s Now F&rsquo;Ing Both Freelancers and Photo Enthusiasts!<\/a>: &quot;I just heard from another colleague about a photo contest Frommer&#39;s is running&#8230;.probably because of the problems they&#39;re running into screwing the photographers they signed to work with. You can win $5000 and get your photo on the cover of one of their guidebooks.

On a 60-37 vote Thursday, the House passed a bill that makes it a primary offense to be caught holding a cell phone to your ear while driving, or to be reading, writing or sending text messages. That strengthens the state&#39;s current secondary offense law for both, which only slaps drivers with an extra fine if they are pulled over for another infraction, such as speeding.&quot;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometime between March 12th and March 17th, I thought this stuff was interesting.
