Maybe Apple should have taken the hint since GarageBand 1, that we, the users, don't always have 300GB of free space for Garageband loops on the system hard drive.

Rob Pegoraro, Washington Post

Waiting a little will give Apple time to find and fix bugs, then work on taking better advantage of Intel processors. It will give the developers of Mac software time to rewrite more programs as universal releases -- or at least make sure that their current releases function correctly under Rosetta.

*** Why America Has To Be Fat
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/01/21/AR2006012100180.html>
Michael S. Rosenwald, Washington Post

In many ways, my being fat also makes me pretty good for the economy.

*** Eat, Memory: Orange Crush
<http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/22/magazine/22food.html>
Yiyun Li, New York Times

To think that all the dreams of my youth were once contained in this Tang commercial drink.

*** The Pleasure Of The Text
<http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/22/magazine/22wwln_lead.html>
Charles McGrath, New York Times

This may be the universal attraction of text-messaging, in fact: it's a kind of avoidance mechanism that preserves the feelling of communication -- the immediacy -- without, for the most part, the burden of actual intimacy or substance.

*** The Mystery Of The Rude Waiter
<http://www.slate.com/id/2134489/>
Tim Harford, Slate

I don't want to complain, but my favorite lunchtime haunt has the rudest waiter I've ever encountered -- and I don't think it's an accident.
