D'rash for the 7th Day of Passover
We are coming now to the end of Passover, our joyful spring holiday. At our seders, we asked questions, we learned, we discussed how we were slaves in the land of Egypt, and how we were freed from that degradation and pain by the strong hand and outstretched arm of... Continue reading

"Romney acknowledges he changed on abortion, just like Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush."
As has been pointed out by many other outlets, Romney isn't doing himself any favors with this comparison, since George W. Bush's anti-choice stance has actually been entirely consistent since his earliest days in politics (and, according to his statements, since childhood). It's possible Romney is thinking of George H. W. Bush, who did indeed shift his positions with regard to abortion rights over his career... but then again, Romney has made this same mistake before, in 2008.

Bret Baier Q&A shows why Mitt Romney shies away from media asking about his record
Mitt Romney has received his share of grief for ducking reporters, with fellow Republican opponent Jon Huntsman releasing a “Scared Mittless” web ad that poked fun at the candidate's penchant for avoiding the news media. Tonight, Fox News’ Bret Baier showed why Romney doesn’t do too many intervi...
Best of luck Scott! I know you're going to be great at this. --Mike R.

Farewell, Wharton. Hello, Comcast.
I'm coming up on my 6 year anniversary as a Wharton employee (and a Philadelphian to boot), and what better way to celebrate than by quitting? That's right, today was my last day as a staff member of Wharton Computing where I have learned many things, met lots of great people, and realized that...
Michael Doss -- if Wine doesn't work in a particular scenario, chances are CrossOver won't work either. It's a GUI wrapper for Wine with some installation helpers and optimization tweaks, but the core functionality is Wine-esque.

Wow, that took me back. It really does make the hair on the back of my neck stand up... now I want popcorn and a quilt.

the first iPhone assisted wedding?
Some of you who have more patience can dig further into Google and check this, but I think I may have performed the first iPhone assisted wedding this last Saturday. At least, I can't find record of any others. And if this story doesn't get made into a Mac commercial, well... it certainly should....
Congrats Bob!
Unfortunately, you aren't the first to read vows from an iPhone. I attended a wedding in October where the groom (editor of dealnews.com) read his vows from his iPhone, much to the glee of the guests and the momentary panic of his bride, who had not been forewarned.
