Re: How to Obtain a Refund for Your iTunes Purchase

Got a refund of £700 from Apple within 6 hrs of contacting them. 6 Yr old son played an "in app" and was able to download £700 worth of jems in a kids game in 10 mins without a password !! nearly had a heart attack when the bill arrived - please make sure your apple products are disabled in the settings for this type of application !! or a free kids game could cost you dearly !!

Re: How to Install MAMP on OS X for Local WordPress Theme Development

Thanks for all the helpful information. The strangest thing however, occurs. My local version won't let me log in on admin or wp-login. No matter what I change the password and login to in phpmyadmin (admin/admin or admin/password or admin/empty) it won't let me in. I even tried the original credentials of the live site. Neither did root/root work, I thought it might because that's what I entered in STEP 5. What am I missing here?

The first and only song (for a long time till I got a giftcard) I ever paid for was a crackly horrible version I wish I would have known this then.

Totally agree. There are just too many apps on the App Store that I want to check out but have no easy way of keeping track of.

This theme was custom made using the HTML5 Reset as the base. http://html5reset.org/

Great post! I've been frustrated for a while that there's no WishList in the app store. You were the top result for my google search and provided a great alternative! Apple needs to get on it with creating a wish list. See no reason why they won't/ shouldn't add one.

P.S. What WP theme do you use for this blog?

hope this makes you laugh:
the girl next door asked me to take her to the train station in my car so I did and an hour later the first train arrived this was her train to London
but cause she was chatting to a lady she missed the train so I keep on
saying "Laura, the train has arrived!,".
an hour later she had stopped talking to the lady and said to me her legs are hurting and I so I tolled her she had misted the train and she said...?
I did not know because she was talking to a talking dummy!

Re: How to Set Up W3 Total Cache with WPtouch Plugin on WordPress

What the Hell This Means "
The remaining list is the mobile user agents in the second to last section of the W3 Total Cache Page Cache Settings page with Android, iPhone, and iPod removed since it was already in the WPtouch user agents list."

I didn't even read the article, I was too distracted by the error in the maxim at the beginning. PEBKAC stands for Problem exists BETWEEN keyboard and chair. "Behind" makes no sense.

Google's cache:[url] was the best and I prefer not using extension/scripts if I don't have to.

Awesome! Thanks.

But I still liked the earlier theme, it was slick and appealing.

Re: Moderating Disqus Comments on Your Blog Via Email

I'm actually starting to delete Disqus from all my sites. Unfortunately too many rude and extremely aggressive people leave messages and it wastes too much time moderating them :(

Glad to hear that, Patrick! Thanks for the feedback. It means a lot.

Patrick Bisch — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 00:35:01 -0000

Much, much better. Nice job, Tony. The front page was always a little confusing to me with the slider showing new posts as opposed to "featured" posts that a lot sites do. The new design is simple and clean, just the way I like it.

Re: 5 Reasons Why I Hate Driving

M Ali Khan — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 14:57:46 -0000

as someone who lives in a country like Pakistan, where the traffic is chaotic, rules are a joke, and where decent public transport is a torture, I absolutely hate and am terrified of driving at the same time.

remember that this is a country where most boys learn how to drive by themselves before they even turn 16!! I am in my mid-20s and I always abhorred doing it....

that goes without saying that yes I actually do possess a valid license, but so far I dont have my own car yet and I am scared of the prospect of having to get my own one day.

one of my friends once actually teased me saying "what will happen if you have a girlfriend or wife who wants to head out and have ice cream or shopping?" to the extent i was too embarrassed to even hit back at him.

but i guess i will have to bite the bullet and one day get me a car for my own when i settle down. the prospect of gas prices, maintenance rip-offs, and of course changing a flat tire makes me paranoid about the future.

maybe becoming a confident driver is the last thing left for me to accomplish to at least get the basic level of 'manliness' in our culture complete.
