Web development: Text editors with FTP integration for Windows
Recently, a co-worker where I work mentioned a program he uses on his Mac called Coda, which provides a seamless interface for editing text files on FTP sites - It lets you browse files on an FTP server and double-click them to edit them, and when you save them, it will automatically upload your saved file back to the FTP site. It's like editing ( Read more... ) -
Apartment noise
I would think that apartment buildings would be built with plenty of soundproofing to make it hard for residents to bother their neighbors with noise. Some people are just excessively noisy sometimes. Late night noise can make it hard to sleep, and excessive noise during the day for long periods can just be irritating ( Read more... ) -

Avatar (movie)
From the ads I've seen, James Cameron's new movie, Avatar, looks interesting, and it seems to be getting pretty good reviews so far.
