The beginning and the end.

The Grand Design, an extract of which appears in the Times today, sets out to contest Sir Isaac Newton’s belief that the universe must have been designed by God as it could not have been created out of chaos. “Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from [...]

Ok, our QA folks found an HTC Desire that reproduces this problem, so we should be able to track it down.
Thanks!

I see that some others had this issue fixed with an Android update. My HTC Hero is still not working. Same issue. Only the smallest resolution appears in the options inside of Evernote photo taking. Perhaps this is Sprint's fault? I'd believe that that easily. I don't think they do much for keeping their crap current in a timely manner.

I'm running the latest version, released on 6/6/2010.

Current Version:
Software – 2.27.651.6
Firmware – 2.1 Eclair

You can find the page for my phone here.

I keep many website passwords in Evernote. The note tends to look something like this:

http://foo.bar.baz.boo/signin.php
Username: dave_engberg
Password: _____________

Where the password has been encrypted on the Mac or Windows client (select the text and then right-click to encrypt).

I don't do that for the most important and sensitive passwords (e.g. the ones to get into the Evernote servers), but it's ok for lower-sensitivity sites in my opinion.

A dedicated local password management application will offer a lot more features ... it can auto-fill the forms for you, etc. But I tend to be too lazy to manage that sort of thing on all of the machines I use in a given week, whereas Evernote is always there.

I had read multiple reviews that showed it recognizing text in a vertical orientation without a problem. It's not a huge deal, I just took the photo at 90 degrees and now it works. But it is odd that it didn't work the first time.

Hi JB..I am getting a 'mobile' scanner and I have considered the scansnap as well as others. Would you recommend the Scansnap that you have? Thanks again for any advice that you'd like to share. Si.

Branding.

A few days old but worth watching. Here’s the thing: I like the overarching “rebranding” concept, and I really like the idea of showcasing the GOP’s younger stars (Paul Ryan especially). But there’s a certain wisdom in the second clip below (via Mediaite) about not giving yourself your own nickname. My appreciation for Ryan’s seriousness [...]

Waterloo.

Alternate headline: “Lame-duck Blue Dog free to admit what every other Democrat already knows.” The good stuff comes at the beginning, but if you give up before the end, you’ll miss him talking about what a horrible political miscalculation ObamaCare was. Yes, after 60 years of trying, they finally got a foot in the door [...]

Enthused.

We’re entering the period of the election cycle where pollsters start switching to likely-voter models to enhance the predictive value of their surveys — but that’s more of an art rather than a science.  Pollsters try to adjust for the various and unique ebbs and flows in each cycle, but usually that means adjusting existing [...]

Change.

Why not? Policy-wise, he’s tried Keynesianism, and politically, there are no other options for wooing back a few independents to the Democratic side before November. The left will forgive him if it helps to preserve the congressional majority in the Senate, and since the majority in the House is a lost cause, he’d probably be [...]

Bit by bit.

During the presidential campaign, Barack Obama repeatedly vowed to force American companies to pay taxes on overseas earnings, rather than take a tax credit for taxes paid by its international operations.  Eventually the White House backed down from that plan after heavy criticism from business leaders made it clear that multinationals would simply move their [...]

Bipartisan!

So here’s where we’re at. Yesterday the piece dropped, and immediately even left-leaning reporters like Ben Smith and Dave Weigel started challenging it. Today Smith came back with another reason to question its accuracy; meanwhile, lefty feminists (including KP, whose criticism of Vanity Fair almost but not quite atones for her recent “Republicans are racist” [...]

Incredible.

Already falling behind Republican Pat Toomey in the polls in his bid to win a US Senate seat, Joe Sestak has run into yet another ethics scandal, this time relating to an earmark he authored for floating wind turbines.  House rules forbid earmarking to for-profit companies, and the earmark money would have eventually ended up [...]

It's time.

No no no, of course she’s not behind it. It’s some random Hillary fan who’s paying for it. Or is it? The commercial was paid for by a Chicago dentist named William DeJean. When asked why he put the ad up, DeJean told CNN Thursday that “I’m a dentist and I don’t think this country [...]

... so has the Senate.

Kathryn Jean Lopez looks at the latest analysis from political prognosticator Larry Sabato, who has decided that he has been too conservative in his estimation of the chances for a Republican takeover of the House.  The GOP needs a 39-seat switch to retire Nancy Pelosi as Speaker, and until now, Sabato has kept his predictions [...]

Aw.

Via Ben Smith, it’s well and truly painful — but endearing too. Reminds me a little of that “singing candidate” from Rhode Island, in fact, minus the nuttiness: As much as you might cringe, we can all relate to the goofy humanity of the moment. Alternate headline: “Jan Brewer to win reelection by 15 points [...]

Game changer?

Rick Scott stunned Florida AG Bill McCollum to win the Republican nomination for governor in the race to replace Charlie Crist, who chose poorly in deciding to run for the Senate rather than a second term.  Scott’s opponent, Alex Sink, and the Democrats have already lashed out at Scott for his past business dealings as [...]

RINO-mania!

In which Ace swipes the blogospheric crown of “Supreme RINO Candy-Ass” right off my head. Seriously, it’s a great post. Read it all or you’ll miss the critique of “true conservative” Christine O’Donnell on the merits — she’s no Joe Miller, to put it mildly — but I’ve excerpted the strategic gist below. Whether you [...]

"You sound like a radio guy."

Say, where has Barack Obama been while polling numbers for Democrats have nosedived this summer? One member of the White House press corps asked Robert Gibbs this question, who giggled at the delivery and then insisted that Obama hasn’t gone AWOL from his position as nominal Democratic Party leader.  Greg Hengler grabs the exchange in [...]
