Grooveshark – All Music you Want at your Fingertips, for Free
See ya Pandora. Hello Grooveshark.com
In the turbulent, choppy waters where P2P networks and copyright law chomp at each other's fins for dominance, there's at least one beast that thinks it has a solution to keep everybody happy. Its name: Grooveshark. Grooveshark is a free online jukebox service where users can search for tracks and listen to them through a Web-based player that can be controlled just like a software jukebox application. The best part, however, is that Grooveshark manages to keep itself lawsuit-free by making sure that everyone gets paid.
Free Amazon Prime Account with .edu Email
This is a really great deal and something I've paid 80 bucks a year, the last 2, to have. Signing up for a Prime account gives you free 2 day shipping on something like 90% of anything you find on Amazon, for a whole year. 2nd day shipping on one item is like 25 bucks, so in about 3 it pays for itself...but it gets better.
As part of their Black Friday deals week Amazon is offering this $80 upgrade free to anyone who has a .edu email address. So get on it iSH nation. Fire-up those old JMU and Roanoke emails, delete the porn, sign up for free 2 day shipping from Amazon, throw on ESPN, and get your Christmas shopping done without ever having to fuck with the mall. Hit the picture link to get started.
Tiger, there’s an app for that
Tiger, if you're reading this, remember that you've been through what mothers call a "valuable learning experience" and you're probably a "better man for it" and so on. Having said that, an iPhone app that launched last week could totally have saved you $20 million in alimony.
Called, coincidentally enough, TigerText, it allows users to set a time limit for a sent text to hang around after it has been read. When that life span has been exceeded, the message will disappear, say the developers, from the recipient's phone, the sender's phone and any servers. The message cannot be forwarded anywhere, stored anywhere or sold to any tabloid for an undisclosed sum.
It works like this: when, say, a prominent politician sends his mistress an iPhone message via TigerText, the mistress will be prompted to install the app. When she has done so, she can read the message, but she can't keep it. In fact, the message is never actually sent to her phone; it's stored on TigerText's servers. After the politician's specified time span has elapsed — anywhere from one minute to five days — the message ceases to exist. There's even a "delete on read" setting, which counts down from 60 after a message is opened and erases its text at zero.
Coach Neuheisel & Coach Polizzi bless my wedding
This is truly what ESPNish is all about.
My friendship with BD is what brought this site together. Brian's friendship with Chris is what brought this video to his wedding. Chris' love for football (and poor showing at the Combine) is what brought him to UCLA. UCLA brought Neuheisel to campus for $1.25 million a year. Neuheisel now brings ESPNish national credibility.
And it's all because of a girl who watches SportsCenter, thanks for saying yes Leigh.

Tech Tricks
Single-application mode is how the iPhone works, of course, and on the Mac, almost all Apple applications - think about Mail, iTunes, and iPhoto - rely on a single window that can easily take over the entire screen. When an application needs a second window, such as for keywords or editing in iPhoto, it is generally a palette that disappears when the application is not in the foreground.
But it goes further. Lurking in the scary bowels of Mac OS X for all these years has been this little command, which brings back single-application mode. (Go ahead and try it - it's easily reversed.)
defaults write com.apple.dock single-app -bool true
For single-application mode to take effect, you have to relaunch the Dock with this second command.
killall Dock
Getting back to the normal multi-application mode is easy. Just paste this first command into Terminal and then restart the Dock with the second command.
defaults delete com.apple.dock single-app
killall Dock

Remember Memento? That movie where the director used the edit-backward-and-way-out-of-order button a bit too much. Well, the DVD contains an Easter egg that lets you rearrange the movie and watch it in chronological order.
On the main menu of the second disc, select the picture of the clock (all of the other pictures let you access special features and remaining eggs). Answer each question with choice C until you reach the sixth and final question, which asks you to put pictures in chronological order. To watch the original short story that inspired the movie, select the second, first, fourth, then third pictures. To watch the movie in chronological order, use the reverse path: choose the third, fourth, first, then second pictures.
