There will come a day sometime soon when I want some wine but don’t have a bottle opener and will try this.  I’ll report back on the results, but I’m giving it a 50-50 chance at being a permanent-stain and glass-shard injury-inducing disaster.

GMail - All Mail
Although I keep my inbox tidy, I intentionally delete almost nothing so I have a record of everything.  In the 3.5 years that I’ve had my GMail account, I’ve had 21834 conversations.  Not individual messages, whole threads. (That translates to 16.56 a day.)

Microsoft Store Grand Opening

For comparison, this is an Apple Store Grand Opening.

Daring Fireball:

It’s creepy, as in like stalker-ish creepy, just how blatantly they’ve copied Apple. (Via Cabel Sasser.)
