The blue pill.

@themoonisdown09 I am a web developer. IE has compatibility issues. It has always had issues -- when you have to add 10-15% to your estimate times just to get something working in a single browser (that works flawlessly in every other browser) then you have compatibility issues.

Unless you use table-based design, hate CSS, disregard web standards, and write all your Javascript for IE-only (or exclusively use libraries like jQuery where everyone else has done the compatibility work) -- then you're fine.

You can use USB storage access on the Mac by enabling Settings -> Application -> Development -> USB Debugging. Admittedly, slightly annoying, and this will only allow storage access instead of MTP access, etc. but it solves the Apple lock out.

Been rocking the Captivate since last Friday, and loving the move from the previous generation iPhone. Gorgeous screen, legitimate multi-tasking, widgets, etc. make this a keeper, although I'm hoping they'll post a firmware fix for the GPS -- took a trip across Texas and it kept losing signal. The built-in Google Maps Navigation is stellar though -- much better than the AT&T Maps they try to foist onto you (and no $10 / month charge, either.)

Congrats, Of Noobs and Men!

Aww, no love again this week. But go Noobs and Men. Too bad voting for it won't get a game out of it. :)

Maybe I need to buy some newer games... Although Brawl in the Family is still going strong with Super Mario Bros. II references.

Aw, no luck this week:

Thought Brawl in the Family's was awesome, though.

@Gutsman
Hah, nice. I've never been told I looked like Gordon Freeman before, but I guess it fits. (I am actually holding it at arm's length because I'm supposed to be looking at it, so at least the art got the point across.) Just curious, do you have a comic?

Perhaps you'll enjoy this one more:

Maybe not. Either way, thanks for your feedback, however brusque.

@Bradwart
Thanks, I'm still trying out different styles. Do you have a comic?

I bounced between Penny Arcade and VG Cats before settling on the latter because I did the same thing with Zelda games, twice. (Which ironically is what Dungeon Guy might be referencing, unless I'm missing a very sneaky hit franchise...)

My comic, for whatever it's worth:

Would love to get feedback from a bigger community than just my Facebook friends! :)

@DutchGuy

Uh, when did Major4Play mention Linux? Axe grinding much?
