Easily check for App Store updates in iTunes
finermac: Instead of mousing to the ‘Check For Updates’ text button at the bottom of the Apps section of iTunes 10, you can simply hit ⌘-R to run the check. Strangely, I cannot find this command anywhere iTunes’ menu system besides the main app menu, but that’s for checking on iTunes updates, not app updates.

Al Jazeera English Blacked Out Across Most Of U.S. →
hitrecordjoe: We Americans are giving the Egyptian government shit for trying to block information.  Meanwhile, American cable companies refuse to offer this world-renowned news source, which would be the best place on TV for us to see what’s going on over there.

iPhone 4 name nitpicking
I know that this is nitpicking of the highest degree, but could we please stop calling the ‘CDMA iPhone 4’ the ‘Verizon iPhone’? Verizon’s deal with Apple isn’t exclusive, which means that not only could Sprint carry the CDMA iPhone 4 in the USA, but other CDMA-based carriers in South America and Asia will most likely get it, too.
