• Fall Out Boy: Calling It Quits – for Now?: Patrick's new stuff sounds good. (via Kevin, BuzzSugar)

• Needham: 2 million iPads in 2010, 6 million in 2011: 2 million might be about right — I don't think that iPad sales in 2010 will be higher than that.

• Audio Processing Causing Heat and Performance Issues for Nehalem Mac Pros: I've been tracking this issue for awhile, and today it has gotten the attention of the Mac web as a whole. As someone who's pondering buying a Mac Pro, I sincerely hope that Apple takes heed of these reports, and fixes the underlying issue.

• Free Publicity: Who do we help?: A longer list of the Obama administration's accomplishments in their first year.

• The Days of Miracles and Wonder: Great thought experiment from Greg Knauss:

  “Yes, I am. A lot of his supporters are disappointed.”

  “With what? A liberal black guy got elected President!”

  “And in his first year, he prevented a second Great Depression, has stopped torture as official policy, is winding down an unnecessary war, has dramatically opened up the transparency of government and has gone a good way towards restoring America’s place in the world.”

  “And people are disappointed?”

  “They want more.”

• What do Indie Gaming's All-Stars think of Apple's iPad?: Great quote from Kyle Gray (Henry Hatsworth):

  "It's a real testament to Apple's prowess that it can have such a strong pull on someone who's more into purses than processors."
