    I received additional, item specific, shelf life information this morning. 5 days on cooked sushi products and edemame. 1 day on sashimi and fresh fish sushi. 30 days on pickled plum, and Tsuke. I hope this information helps. – Jessie , about 9 hours ago

    An $8 wood chopping board should do a fine job keeping the Wii Fit stable in any carpet thickness.

    I agree that the situation is unfortunate. more so because of the the overly heavy-handed terms Apple has inflicted upon at&t. I recently joined the usability team at at&t mobility and while I tend to share your view of at&t (and all cell carriers in general) I have had a very up close and personal experience with the apple mandate within at&t. In short, at&t was so desperate to carry the iphone they sold their, and our, control over the plan structure for an iSong.

    My suggestion is to hold off on any iphoneuntil after the 2nd version and after it's unlockable without having to jailbreak it. Hopefully a competitor with an opensource mentality will come along and cater to the user community more effectively.

    On a side note, I joined the at&t mobility team to work on the microsoft surface table experience. Apple made it very lear early on that they will never, ever permit an iPhone to interact with the Surface interface. They are very nearly violent about the issue. Sometimes I feel like an ant caught in a thanksgiving parade route when these overweight mega-ego companies get going at eachother.

    I bought the nokia n95 8g. not a touch interface but a seriously cool phone just the same.

    cheers

    I'm having the same problem. In the wi-fi settings, it shows that I am connected to my home network. But the phone uses the edge network rather than wifi. It used to work fine. I have no problems connecting to the home network with imac or macbook pro.

    That would certainly be nice, although I think there is the option to receive an email already, which I have declined. My request was to see the green icon that appears on the tab, that immediately calls attention and that is NOT present when you log in after a closed session (I often close my browser for many reasons) – Otir, about 23 hours ago

    I have this problem too...I've been traveling and working at client sites this month, so not checking Seesmic regularly. When I logged in today, I saw that I had a few direct video messages. It would be nice to have an option in which the system pings me/sends email/etc when I have messages 'waiting'.

    Hello All, I wanted to take this opportunity to join this disccusion and perhaps shed some light on a few issues. i have checked with the Cupertino store for more information regarding their sushi. As it is with many of our stores this the sushi is provided by a 3rd party company. The product must still meet our strict quality standards, but they determine the shelf life according to HACCP guidlines. Two days is the maximum shelf life, but as the safety mantra says, 'when in doubt, throw it out.'

    Many of our stores will give away day old bread, produce and damaged, non-perishable packaged goods as long as they are still in the package and not spoiled. However, some food banks and charitable organizations have their own guidlines about what they will and will not take and will sometimes refuse what we offer. There are numerous liability issues here, both for these organizations as well as us.

    Thor - making sushi for the day is a great idea. In fact, that is the plan we generally follow in any of our prepared foods areas. We look at last years sales and make projections. Actually, this process is followed in every one of our departments and affects production, staffing and ordering. If you think about it, we lose money by having to throw product away, so that's not really good business sense.

    Regarding 'Whole Paycheck', I have heard that one since I started in 1997 and i'm sure it's been around quite a bit longer. The truth is, like Slaton said, we carry quite a few specialty and high end items which are quite expensive, but our private label products as well as our sales items offer a great value for customers that may be looking for high quality natural and organic products without spending a lot of money.

    Amy - i'm glad you're not a hater.

    please let me know if I can further address any questions. I'm really glad to participate in this discussion, this is a really great forum for connecting with our customers. Take care - Jessie

    Hi fazi, Unfortunately, no one from Facebook is choosing to participate here. From what others have said, it sounds like best thing to do is email Facebook and politely ask what hapened. Then wait patiently for an answer. Good luck! – Amy Muller, 1 day ago

    mylesmudge@mac.com
    I have the same problem, when i put in a cd the first time the info for the cd will pop up for a second then disappear then when it asks me if I want to import I say yes and the icon for the disk dissappears and it doesn't import. When I reinsert the same disk a second time it works as normal. It does this the same way every time. It never works on one try and it never takes three, its always two.

    Eric Suesz
    Unfortunately, Facebook does seem to have a bad strategy for dealing with both public relations and customer service, but I don't think that should stop us from trying to change that. I think we should keep sharing what knowledge we have and build up even more of a public presence so that Facebook will at some point have to respond. – Eric Suesz, 3 days ago

    I want to know from satisfaction, what improvements have facebook made in the seven months (plus) that this discussion has run? Have there been any improvements? Do you sincerely believe that they are working hard o the matter??

    I also want to know how realistic is it that facebook will resolve this matter, as I am beginning to realise that its no easy task? It would be wrong of us to be unrealistic, but we should certainly try and get the best service possible!

    In the perspective of satisfaction what is a realistic time frame in which you believe this issue can/will be resolved? How long will we have to wait??

    Man I hadnt worried about facebook in like a week or two, n then this morning I got a call from a friend I new in primary school who I had exchanged numbers with who politely mentioned that he hadn’t seen anything on my news feed for a while, man I felt bad!!! n so I ended up writing in to satisfaction today!!!

    A strong clear vision replied 3 days ago to the question "how to get facebook account back" in Facebook:

    A strong clear vision
    I think Toms Video is real good, it shows the person on the opposite side the human dimension to the situation and thus helps him/her to take a decision in relation to a real heart felt plea, which someone is making. It also makes it clear that this is a real person, with a real identity who can clearly be held accountable for any wrong doing, if any. Accountability creates a world which is naturally self moderating, meaning that people who are accountable usually dont act out of line because they understand that there are consequences.

    If allowed back onto the facebook network Im sure that I would steer well clear of any behaviours which could be regarded abusive. That’s the attitude which results from accountability. I also highly dought that anyone would be able to continually commit any offence if he/she is held accountable. As such it is my opinion that people who are pleading to be allowed back onto facebook with there real identities are ready to be responsible.

    I think Toms Video is a way forward in reaching out to facebook, laying it out clearly and saying hey Im V sorry for anything I did out of ignorance and I understand that you have a huge amount o admin o deal with, but Im here, Im willing to work with the rules, lets work together, lets be better.

    but Im not sure if I want to place a video of myself on the net (smile) :) So perhaps it is possible for facebook to create an alternate path which is more private, in which we can send a video, or chat over skyp and thus easily resolve the matter, and in which we can be humane with each other and in which we can build a good relationship based on trust.

    Scott Fleckenstein
    What special characters are you using?

    I use exclamation points in some of my passwords. If you can give us an example password (obviously not one of your real passwords, but one that fails to save) I can add it into our test suite and ensure those characters work.
