I just listened to the podcast 93. If i'd hve listened to it sooner i would have realized before I heard it on the news about the anti-piracy thing. I therefore did not get to participate in the petition but I am wondering if it is still around or if i ave to wait until next time it comes to Congress if it does. thanks scott</p> Hello.

For example i share my password to our school network with two classmates, because sometimes i forgot to order a lunch for next day and they do it for me. So it seems i have a intimate relationship with both:) I use other passwords for my facebook, e-mail and other services. My cousin had a boyfriend. He gave her a password to his facebook and he probably forgot about it. After a period of time he found other girlfriend and she read the whole conversation on facebook.</p> The topic about sharing paswords is interesting.

Can’t pick a numero uno for 2011, unless it’s all the specialized apps in IOS5; but that’s kind of like “Time” calling The Protester person of the year.

Afraid we’re destined for a shakeout in our little space for 2012, and few price drops.

I would like to see more coverage of Windows based apps. Afterall, Serotalk is a windows based company. My appologies for this constructive critisism. I hope you don't mind it. Thanks.

]]> Comment on Review: Bose SoundLink Mobile Wireless Speaker by Allison Mervis http://serotalk.com/2011/11/22/review-bose-soundlink-mobile-wireless-speaker/comment-page-1/#comment-1069 Allison Mervis Mon, 12 Dec 2011 03:44:16 +0000 http://serotalk.com/?p=1419#comment-1069 <p>Thank you very much for this excellent and thorough review Mike. I ordered the SoundLink yesterday, and am looking forward to receiving it in a few days. One of the drawbacks you mentioned had to do with opening the cover and standing the speaker on its spine in your backpack. I can definitely see how that might be a bit awkward. While locating the SoundLink on the Bose website, I noticed that they sold leather and nylon covers for the units separately. The description for the cover states, "Simply swap it with your existing cover using the supplied Allen wrench." This made me think that you might possibly be able to use an Allen wrench to remove the cover from your SoundLink and test whether or not it would still function. If it does, your backpack issue would be solved. If not, the cover should be able to be reattached fairly easily. You may have already tried this, but I thought I'd suggest it just in case. Again, thank you for the great review. Allison Mervis</p> Thank you very much for this excellent and thorough review Mike.
