An app that gives me my wife's measurements and compares them to last time. That way I know when to offer insincere compliments or chocolates accordingly.

Hi Glen,

Thanks so much for taking the time to read our post. Please tweet me at @LISA88123 when you have made your changes to Gentlemint so I can do an updated review :)

It's great to see that we're on your radar as a blog and hopefully you'll be seeing much more of us on Gentlemint http://gentlemint.com/users/Ne...

So excited to see how the mint works out in the future!

Lisa, thanks so much for writing about Gentlemint. You hit on a lot of stuff that we're fixing, and it's great to know that despite all of that, you still love Gentlemint. That's fantastic.

We're only a little over two months old, and we're working as quickly as possible to fix those things like better image handling and organization of links in your mint.

Anyway, thanks again!
Glen Stansberry

Sleep Sounds is a really good sleep app as far as ambient music goes. It has a good variety of sounds and a mix-and-match feature too.

Re: Android to iOS – I made the switch

I have been an android phone user for over a year, and I have moments of love and moments of hatred towards the device. I am jealous of IOS' easy and quick UI; but I do love the customability of an Android.
I am now in a dilema:
I want to buy a tablet. Do I go android or apple? :(

Good post - but it was lacking one thing: a hilarious cat video.

Definitely. A longer show would be nice once in a while. Maybe they could do some extended shows and some "shorts," kind of like Radio Lab does.

I too just discovered this podcast and cannot get enough. Although I love the short format, I would not complain if they decided to produce longer shows.

No column filters? No clear read tweets functionality? No more quick tweet features? What is this awful way to swipe between column sets? Why cant I swipe back and have to click the column icons above? Why the hell are the column icons at the top? WHAHAHAY?

Re: Technology and kids today, eh?

Heather Mhari McGreevy — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 04:18:07 -0000

Thank you for your input Natasha. I totally agree that technology is a valuable resource for learning too and it is definitely something that is a major part of our lives so it's important children can engage with technology from an early age! However, I still have a firm belief that there should be a good balance between technology and traditional learning!

Thanks again for your comments!

I'm not exactly sure if I would say it is as important as learning to read or write and I do agree going outside to play is better than sitting in front of the Xbox. I do however think we should embrace the new technology. I just recently got the iPhone so I decided to give my son the old Itouch I had and I put pages full of educational games and videos on it and he loves it! He is excellent at navigating through it and switch from game to game or video to video. I do however monitor how often he uses it because I don't want him to be consumed by it but it sure gas been fun watching him learn his way through something that even my dad, 44, can navigate through. He doesn't just play either but he learns which is so amazing! I love this new tech.

Sorry Phil I would love one too but at £200 more than Japan or US there's not a cat in Hells chance.

Cant wait , got my pre-order in already £799 , they recon it will be out on the 21st Nov .
I have been waiting around 30 years for something like this . I do like the fact that it will work with all my HDMI setups , Blu-Ray , Free sat , Free view , ps3 ect , the OLED screens should be amazing quality , as i have said you can order this now from Sony , so if you are thinking about it i would be quick as i think they will be in short supply being close to Christmas .
