File management on the iPad

Setting up my wife's iPad with Pages & Keynote was interesting.
The file management is definitely strange. At first I thought I was just missing something obvious. Then I came across this article and found out I wasn't the only one.

Very poor execution IMHO, but I realize they had to push it out the door by a certain date (hence the pulling of the file sharing described in the article) or face the backlash of the fanboys (yes, I'm including myself as well -- can we please get a MBP refresh already?!).

I'll go on record now saying that they'll keep it cumbersome (current method) and add nice MobileMe support (in the same way that they are hooking it into iwork.com beta -- not that THAT implementation is very good either -- fine for commenting on documents and making copy after copy in multiple places). A far cry from something as elegant as say dropbox. Which is why I think they'll hook it into MobileMe iDisk (and, of course, not let any other webdav drives play nice).

Anybody else play with "file sharing" on the iPad?

P.S. - Anybody have the addiction support line for Plants vs Zombies? I might need an intervention for my wife ;)

P.P.S. - And while I'm at it, still can't send email from non-me.com/mac.com domain using MobileMe email. What is this still the 80's? I get it. We all have to smoke the Apple crack. Perhaps they are waiting for people to stop using faxes and AOL email addresses as a sign... Get with it Apple!

If version control systems were airlines....

A friend sent this to me. Seemed appropriate given our history...

Don't miss the linked "if OSes were airlines" link as well.

Its Bacon!

Wow. My Jewish ancestors are spinning...
I wonder if it comes with free shipping -- of your replacement heart!

Is it getting worse?

I was riding the train home from work the other day and I started to wonder, is AT&T wireless voice and data service getting worse? Or is my tolerance for the crappy service diminishing? As I sat on the train, trying to Google search for something on my iPhone, I looked over at someone with a Verizon mobile broadband card and he was remotely managing some Windows systems. I'm barely able to pull up Google search results on my iPhone and he's using CoRD (on his Mac) to RDP to his systems with no problems whatsoever.

To top it off, I spend most of my days in an office that is absolute telephone hell. I've got a Sprint phone and my AT&T iPhone and I can't use either of them while sitting at my desk. Making matters worse, I've got a Nortel VOIP phone there that only works intermittently as well. WTF?! If it weren't for my current attachment to OmniFocus on my Mac and iPhone, I think I'd ditch the crappy AT&T service. What are the chances the Omni Group will ever come out with an Android version of OmniFocus?

Yo...

Not my usually 80's retro, but good stuff:

Happy new year y'all

Worst translator ever

I got bored so started looking at the last three people who followed me on twitter and one guy is just a page of SEO links and the top one was

RT @Rehan Marketing benefits given an online form with SEO services | The Best SEOhttp://bit.ly/UoIbp

And I clicked on it because I didn't understand it:

http://thebestseo.info/2009/06/30/marketing-benefits-given-an-online-form-with-seo-services/

It goes to a page of absolute gibberish that I assume was done by some software translator:

Therefore, with an enlarge in a volume, afterwards ask for great peculiarity has additionally taken place. Therefore, a SEO provider in a stream unfolding is compulsory to be vested with a multifaceted opinion which harbours a knack of being wakeful about opposite happenings all over a universe as well as how have been they able of conversion a website in conditions of a trade turn etc.

But, then I thought perhaps this guys is The Best SEO. I mean, I clicked on it...and perhaps all that gibberish confuses google or is so full of buzzwords that it gets great search results...
