Comment Goal Reached

Comment Goal Reached 09/07/2004 11:52 PM

We very quietly reached another goal this week. Since I started this site almost three years ago, I've wanted to have as many comments as I had entries. I don't know why, it just seemed like a good goal to have.

The first iteration of the site was a custom PHP app that didn't even have comments, so we got a late start. We flirted with the goal for the last few weeks, but it doesn't help that we're posting like chipmunks on crack these days. I'm also really anal-retentive about the comments — there are no spams, "me toos," or test comments in the database. All comments are legit.

Anyway, comments passed up entries on Sunday. As I write this, we have 2,909 entries and 2,938 comments. Next goal: 3,000 entries, which we'll hit by the end of the month. The ultimate goal has always been 5,000 entries, and we're on a pace to hit that by the end of next year.

Settlement reached in iPod battery
lawsuit 06/05/2005 11:20 PM
Apple is offering consumers who had battery problems with older versions of the popular iPod digital music player $50 vouchers and extended service warranties under a tentative settlement in a class-action lawsuit. According to AP, lawyers representing consumers in the state court case said that the settlement could affect as many as 2 million people nationwide who purchased first-, second- and third-generation iPods through May 2004. Apple confirmed the settlement but has not officially commented. The settlement comes after eight consumers filed a suit in 2003, alleging that the iPod failed to live up to claims that the rechargeable battery would last the product's lifetime and play music continuously for up to 10 hours. According to the terms of the settlement, people who fill out a claim form are entitled to receive $50 redeemable toward the purchase of any Apple products or services except iTunes downloads or iTunes gift certificates. Consumers will be notified of the tentative settlement in three ways: by e-mail, by letters, and through advertisements in USA Today and Parade Magazine in the next month, said Elizabeth C. Pritzker, an attorney at Burlingame-based law firm Cotchett, Pitre, Simon & McCarthy LLP, which represented two plaintiffs. Apple has agreed to pay up to $2.8 million to the two law firms that represented consumers.

M.I.A. is, well, MIA due to visa

M.I.A. is, well, MIA due to visa
troubles while entering US 03/17/2005 03:55 AM
Xeni Jardin: Following up on last week's post about the Sri Lankan sensation who plays bongo with her lingo, Boing Boing reader Pablos says: "M.I.A. was scheduled to perform at Chop Suey in Seattle tonight. Apparently she is having some kind of Visa trouble and her show has been cancelled. "

Some speculate the incident may relate to her father's affiliation with a Sri Lankan rebel group designated as a terrorist organization by the US. No news on her site or newsfeeds yet, but she's also scheduled to play at SXSW this week.
