Each of these things—magazine, books, meetings, etc—has a certain percentage of good stuff and a certain percentage of "gold". Question becomes, does the time it take to find those nuggets worth the time spent? ...assuming you catch it (e.g., not nod off in a meeting).

Seeing one tweak missed for adjusting the Time Machine interval—

Nifty. Reminds there are 5-6 Mac magazines one can follow. Each issue has a trickle which accumulates to expands one's body of Mac & OS X knowledge.
@bill-kindle
Have you tried using OneNote or EverNote to consolidate what was learn & page snippets from each of these?

Zagat they just shut down and made go away, though.
Thought so, too. Hard copy books are still being published, website exists, and there are iOS & Android Zagat apps. Noticed the books' copyright page does have Google on it—

Bruce Schneier touches on the overall scenario—

Hmm...a string on posts from A.J that were deleted. But what did they say? haha.
Hrm, leave it at oversharing on a public forum. Better suited for talk over a beer.
@scottalanmiller Previously figured it was VMware's equivalent of a CCIE. Quickly skimming, appears VCDX is the CCIE equivalent.
@scottalanmiller
Interesting correlation. vExperts, I do not know....yet.

wait, when did google buy Waze?
Middle of last year, and in the $1.1B range. Some of the features have been slowly migrated to Google Maps. A bit like Google's acquisition of Zagat ($125M in 2011).
OP story is still low on the radar. Bit more info and GPL tie-in—

Know a few of them. Need to be nominated for MVP by another MVP. Nominations are anonymous. Many MVPs come from MS' community efforts.
Well-known one is Daniel Petri of "http://www.petri.co.il/". Another is Sue Mosher of "http://www.slipstick.com/". Both made the MVP work for them. (Don't know these two personally, rather used their sites many a time.)
Yeah, know the 30-pin was referenced and different.
Same iOS update, similar programmatic logic. Have seen people use very frayed and unsafe looking cables on their iPhone 4/4s. Imagine has a clever programmer who could eek such detection for the older 30-pin connector cable....which could have many false positive results. Would be weird no message or other warning.
Am sure it'll get hashed & rehashed on die-hard forums, until a truth comes out.

There are physical map and logical maps.
Usual suspects for the physical mapping task (& some repetition). Dia and The Dude are probably the more commonly used:
@dominica @scottalanmiller For the iPhone 5, iOS 7.1 gets grumpy about "non-certified" Lightning cables. (Cables have a ship in them, http://www.wired.com/2012/10/iphone-lightning-cable-contains-security-chip/.)
Wonder if this is similar?
p.s.: Seeing noise about Morphie battery packs (counterfeit?) breaking, too.
Ah, that reminds me, OS X is read-only for NTFS. Should be fine to wipe with Disk Utility, but most other operations would fail (sudo or no).
Curious, have not tried this...could be worth a shot as a test—
OS X side, Disk Utility is used for this: repartitioning, formatting, et al. Gets grumpy with NTFS, but not much a hassle when wiping.
@carnival-boy No experience with this manner of system
Review was basically positive—
Skimming the article, didn't confirm/dis-confirm the assumption the iPad would need have cellular service. Would indeed need an appropriate enclosure to secure the device (ballpark $500). Related, a spare would need to be have, at least initially, for inevitable breakage or failure.
@scottalanmiller
Yeah, wasn't part of SW back in those days. Wonder how it was. Weirder there was a smurf (Product Advisor) with regular meetings just a few miles from I've been living, yet knew nothing of it. Visibility is a funny thing.
Changes do reflect quite a bit on the personality of the top dog mod (CM, or whatever): MyShell and on down the line.
Wonder if that was more a Ballmer thing (the guy of the "I will f@cking destroy those guys" fame)
Considering Netscape wasn't good enough so they made IE
Java wasn't good enough, so j#
C/C++ wasn't good enough, so C#
Flash wasn't good enough, so Silverlight

Well, crap, now I am going to be banned!!
The info is odd. Helps better define "browser issues". In this case it is more clearly seen as architectural decisions made earlier in the software development process.
Meanwhile, "Why can they all just get along?"
