and why is there always the last post you were reading in the preview pane, even after everything's been marked read? It should be empty.

"LIke that damn slider up top."
yeah, way too gratuitous and actually more confusing than buttons. clarity over cutesy, please.
I see what you mean about contrast. It's hard to tell if you're focused on the leftmost pane (feeds) or the second one (items).

nice to use keyboard shortcuts, which I never use in the web version, even though you can. maybe i should give this a proper chance..

New version of Reeder fixes some of the contrast issues. nice.

Would love to switch to Reeder but that beige background looks like ass. Please tell me there's a hack to change it.

Still not happy w/ contrast, but can't tell if the slider up top changed, but it's now acting more like a button. Click where you want and it slides there. Still think it should physically look more like a button.
Just emailed the company about the bg color. Under "help" there's a "feature request" option.

curious why? i love pages and keynote and would way rather work in those than in word or keynote, though it's hard to quantify exactly why ... i do think numbers really sucks compared to excel.

baja: Numbers. It's fiddly. There's no official keyboard shortcut to edit a cell (although in the end I found one by accident), and the keyboard shortcut to move the cursor left one word is exactly the same as the keyboard shortcut to insert a column. There's other stuff but I've already blissfully forgotten it.
hoy: I don't know Windows 7 (which I assume you're using) stuff but is there a chance you're running some crucial part of W7 in a 32bit mode for compatibility reasons?

I'm returning my iMac, then headed to Best Buy to snag a PC, one four-times faster than my current computer and $400 cheaper than that iMac.
I'll spend the difference on a video editing program, a new haircut and a first-rate pair of swing dancing shoes.
Will he return the shoes when they don't do the dancing for him? http://www.neowin.net/forum/style_emoticons/default/emot-iiam.gif

i hear you on numbers. there is a lot of serious bullshit going on in that program. i tore my hair out trying to make a scatter plot one day before i realized you just can't. i think this feature has been fixed for the newest version, but still ... sort of ridiculous!
numbers is very good-looking though and has very nice templates, and if you want to do something real fast and integrate it with other iwork apps (pages and keynote) it's great at that.

Hmm ... what's the best way to get videos I've taken on my iPhone transferred to my Mac? I don't want to use iPhoto unless there's a way to tell it to ignore all the still photos. I use Lightroom to import photos but that doesn't handle video.
I feel like this should have an obvious answer.

dropbox is the easiest way to get one-off stuff out of yr iPhone. Open the app, hit the camera icon, upload file to yr dropbox.
