OK, so yesterday I wrote about the funny Greek captions on the iPad intro video on YouTube. I started transcribing the Greek, but two minutes in I got tired (too much work). The original video can be found on youtube (see previous post) and Engadget's English caption screenshots can be found here (click)Anyway - here is the Greek:Είναι αλήθεια επωφελέις για όλους κάτι

Even though I like my iPhone, I would switch back to symbian if:I could get a phone subsidized by my carrierI could easily install Greek support on itI could sync easily with my Mac's PIMI could

Finally a Windows Phone that I am jazzed about!After many years of Microsoft holding onto backward compatibility, they've decided to pull a MacOS and move forward! This is something they needed to do for a while because, as I've said before, the older code base was holding them back! Now they can finally move forth without the ball-and-chain of backward compatibility, innovate AND finally integrate

Pretty funny!First it started with Facebook, MySpace and Twitter status updates (i.e. getting caught in a lie about your whereabouts - especially if it's work related - and now it's moving into Foursquare and the like. I do wonder if people know that their info is actually public and not private, unless otherwise specified.I wonder how Google Buzz fits into all of this (and how it can be parodied!)

I was walking over to an Indian restaurant on valentine's day to grab some dinner for us and I noticed that the Edgewater Cafe, an awesome Mexican place, closed down last November. Yeah it's a little late (3 months after the fact) but it's still sad. That place had some killer food!On the nice side of things, their chef went to a sister restaurant so the food is still accessible and a Mediterranean
