TUAW Talkcast #16: Talking Turkey with Dan from dealmac

Mail also locked up on me.
I know you are looking into this I just thought I would let you know it's affecting others also.

Tony, and other Mail.app RSS users: Our apologies for your ongoing agita. We have not changed anything on our production side, so we have to assume that Mail's RSS handling doesn't like something in our feed configuration -- but since we're doing the same thing we have been doing, it's hard to know exactly what that is.

I've escalated the issue to our engineering team and as soon as I have some sort of input I'll pass it along.

i was kinda hoping to see some mac-based commentary here at TUAW about amazon's kindle today.

as a mac user, i've been dreaming of a good mac-compatible ebook device for ages, and i was hoping the kindle would be it. i did some digging around this morning, and despite amazon's claim that the kindle is "OS independent", i find that that is only true to a point: to get my own PDF files to the kindle, i'd have to either email them to amazon for conversion to their format (10 cents each, tyvm), or do without. if i had a windows machine, i could use mobipocket's conversion program, but mobi (aka amazon) doesn't supply a mac-based version of their conversion software.

of course, this just fuels my desire for apple to step up and show everyone how it's REALLY done with a device of their own that supports a wide array of formats. could the rumored tablet be the one? i am sure hoping so, because as damn cool as the kindle sounds, it's just another in a long line of devices that don't work for mac users, sigh.

Speaking of Talking Turkey, I have some Adriana Lima iPhone wallpapers if anyone is interested . . .

i like other users have moved my rss feeds to mail, imagine my surprise when mail locked up on this message while it downloaded the 24mb file that was attached.
