Keep it simple and make sure we can share to almost any social network we're interested in.

I already have a sub, but maybe I can help someone else.

I'm inclined to believe the many people around me who know a thing or two about plants. Also, where I was at I know for a fact there were no pear or cherry trees around.

I did plenty of research before I put this out there.

Re: MLB 11: The Show Patch #2 Details

I also think that base running was fixed in RTTS. I had an issue with getting picked off when it was obvious that I got back to bag in enough time. After the patch was installed this weekend I only get picked off when I'm stupid.

While there are some issues, overall the game is very good and I'm having a good time playing.

Re: AT&T should shut up about Verizon iPhone

mathewballard — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 23:15:00 -0000

Oh please! Don't act like Verizon is innocent in all this. AT&T and Verizon have been attacking each other constantly for the last few years. While I don't I don't like some of the stuff that AT&T says and does I also feel the same about Verizon.

Also, maybe I feel this way because, for the most part, my AT&T experience is very good. Most areas have great coverage for me and I've never had any customer service issues.

I will say that I'm glad to see Verizon get the iPhone (if it really happens, I'm still skeptical) because it will free up the AT&T network a bit and create competition that will help the end user.

Re: After More Than 24 Hours Offline, Tumblr Is Back

mathewballard — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 01:07:42 -0000

Well, I wanted to post a photo to mbpholog.com and couldn't because it was down. So I guess I would have to say that it did affect my life. Although, in a very minimal way.

Re: If You Were Groupon, Would You Have Taken Google’s Offer? [POLL]

mathewballard — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 13:43:28 -0000

Google also has a history of destroying products that it buys. They have a good future lined up for themselves. You don't always need Google to build a good product. I would much rather see Groupon do it on their own then do it under Google's umbrella.

I'd love have a Flickr Pro account again. I cancelled mine when I became unemployed at the beginning of the year and haven't renewed since.

I've been using Feedly for a couple of years now and I tried to get into the preview but was unsuccessful. Would love to be able to get in now. @mathewballard

Come on, this is not going to affect any sales. It's funny and that makes it awesome.

Re: 2K Punishes Tony Parker for Infidelity

I think it is just hilarious! And they'll probably change it back in the future.

Just to respond to something in the post, I rarely ever have call issues on my iPhone 4. Maybe it is the area I live in, but overall call making is pretty good.

Re: Facebook Tests Smaller Font In News Feed, Users Retaliate On Twitter

I have no issue with the smaller font. Personally I think it looks better.

Re: iPhone Versus Android: Nielsen Delivers the Numbers [STATS]

mathewballard — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 21:11:21 -0000

It is the marketing. Plus Android is available across multiple devices and carriers while the iPhone is only available on, for the most part, one device and a scant collection of carriers.

While Android OS is decent there are still many things that I feel lag behind iOS.

Um, there are nothing wrong with slideshows. It's a normal (and lovely) presentational element used by many.

Re: Did 3G Data go splat! on your iPhone4 this past Weekend?

No, I never had any issues. My 3G service was good until I got inside some buildings.

I'll be there day one. Hell, maybe I'll even be able to take a peak at the show while at work tomorrow.

Re: Computer Faceoff: Mac vs. PC

mathewballard — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 22:58:52 -0000

As a graphic designer/web developer I prefer Macs because OS X is very stable I rarely have an issue with the OS (unless some software is acting crazy). The hardware is top notch and it is just easier to do my work on one.

Plus, I can play my PC games in either OS X or Windows XP on the same computer! Bootcamp FTW!

Re: louisgray.com: Why I Turned In My iPhone and Went Android

mathewballard — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 23:05:51 -0000

While I have nothing against your move or your reasons behind it I will say that I'm happy staying with the iPhone and the App Store and have no desire to make a change. The Android OS has yet to really impress me and the phones, while having some features that make me look at them, have not shown much to me to make me want to switch.

Maybe it's just me, but Peyton looks taller.

Re: Madden 11 Does Little to Improve Franchise and Online Franchise Modes

mathewballard — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 16:36:47 -0000

The Franchise mode was pretty decent. There were a few things I wanted to see added this season that have been in past Madden games, but I'm not going to cry about it. May work out for me, as I'm thinking of skipping this season, as I tend to go every other year with sports games (barring significant improvements).

As for online, I don't really care. I know there are those who will live by it. But, 95% of my time is spent playing offline in sports games.

Re: Twitter Is So 10 Minutes Ago [Updated]

mathewballard — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 12:05:28 -0000

Yep. I don't think it is just a Twitter issue. I think it is an internet issue. Doesn't seem like I'm the only one with problems with all sorts of internet based things.

Re: Twitter Is So 10 Minutes Ago [Updated]

mathewballard — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 11:56:09 -0000

At least for me, I've had issues with the internet all morning. Not just Twitter. But, also my email and RSS feeds.
