Time for a Twitter Parade!
If you are a fan of Twitter, or even if you are not, check out IS Parade, a hilarious visualization of people's followers. Just enter a twitter username, and sit back and enjoy the parade. Click to zoom up, click on a follower to have them perform a solo, or click some Japanese text to see their parade, or launch to their Twitter homepage. Try your own Twitter name of course, and if you have a couple of hours of free time, try someone like DavidPogue. You can find my parade at Snaggy... and I must say, thank you all, thank you all so much for a wonderful parade!

The one thing you need to know about your iPhone and your iPad.
Having trouble with apps crashing on your iPhone? Well, we have a tip for you.
Did you know that you should reboot your iPhone every now and then to clear up its memory? That's right, you should, because unfortunately there's a bit of a, ummm, bug, as described here by our secret source in Apple Developer Land.
"Basically when you install an app (or update it), the unzipping of that app requires about 3x the size of the app in disk space to install, and the installer itself uses a lot of memory that it doesn't give back properly. So if an app's going to crash from memory problems, it's invariably after an install of any app."
"Also, if you don't power cycle once in a while you end up with fragged memory from Mail, Safari, iPod etc."
And this goes even more so with the iPad! "The iPad has the same memory as the iPhone 3GS but four times the video resolution, so that's four times the memory used for the screen!"
So remember, turn off your iPhone and your iPad every now and then! Words to live by, even if there wasn't an iPhone memory problem!

Happy Star Wars Day, to you and your Wookie.
Happy Star Wars Day, to all you geeks out there. And if you haven't yet, check out our Joy of Tech comic, that just so happens to jive with the festive season. (Nice work on those character portraits Nitrozac!)
Oh, and I couldn't help but embed this tweet of RickMacMerc...
Today it's "May the 4th Be With You" and then, if you party too hard on Cinqo de Maio, you'll experience "The Revenge of the 6th" ( Nooo!! )
