[…] This is vaguely similar to another Apple UI niceness - recent iPods automatically pause the song that is playing when the headphones are unplugged.
The first iPod I bought, a first-gen Mini (for Tiff), did that. It’s probably an older feature than we realize.
yeah, every iPod I’ve owned has done this, and I’m on my fourth iPod…

And if we’re going to get involved in the internal strife of another country, we should at least try to be on the majority’s side.
Disagree. The protection of the minority from the abuse of the majority is precisely what the US Constitution and the United States of America is all about.
How about this instead? We try to only involve ourselves if there’s a right and wrong side, and we only join the right side. If there’s a minority of citizens enslaving a majority to mine diamonds, we protect that majority. If there’s a majority placing a minority in concentration camps, we protect that minority. All in all, internal strife is more difficult than when one country straight up attacks another (although that too is not always clear cut, e.g. Georgia vs. Russia and who started it, but I guess that was really an internal strife where Russia had been involved for years).

Marco’s Instapaper made TechCrunch’s Most Frequently Used iPhone Apps list. There’s something devilishly incongruous about this.
Yeah. Cats love me, too.
there are probably just as many people in Marco’s apartment who use the Instapaper app as at TechCrunch, that being 2 people. Just saying.
