iTunes tried to install an iPhone and iPod touch app on my iPad just now:
The application “StretchZ Free” was not installed on the iPad “I, Pad” because it requires a newer version of iPad software.
What.
Update: Brian Zeitler nailed it—StretchZ Free requires iOS 4, and the iPad is kickin’ it old school on iOS 3.2.1 right now, so the app cannot be installed on an iPad.
Gov. Pat Quinn signed into law HB 43, which requires drivers to come to a complete stop for pedestrians in all crosswalks – even those that don’t have a stop sign or traffic light.
Victor Agreda Jr., TUAW’s programming manager, compiles comment statistics into an editorial guide for the future. It’s a bold new direction.
Related: I still believe comments are not only good, but a fundamental necessity, of the Web. But we need much, much better comment and community self-policing tools to clean up the admittedly toxic comment state that many sites are in. Arguably, these tools are still only in their infancy.
Apple supposedly had to end its in-store iPhone 4 reservation system and switch to first come, first serve basis due to overwhelming popularity, yet some pubs say it needs to kill the product. Egg, face, etc.
Was worried about this week’s Futurama, didn’t think they’d pull out of the plot’s downward spiral, but they landed it.
“White Noise” by Lauren O’Connell.
I’d buy that for $1 from Lauren’s MySpace. So I did.

Nokia said Thursday that its profit fell to €104 million, or $134 million, from €287 million a year earlier. Sales rose 1 percent, to €10 billion.
So sales rose a smidge, but profits fell by a landslide. What is going on at Nokia.

Tron: Legacy has a new trailer at Yahoo Movies.
I watched this three times before I snapped out of it and realized I should probably link. Gave me chills again, just like the first trailer. K, now back to work.

Life In A Day is a historic global experiment to create a user-generated feature film, shot in a single day, by you. On July 24, you have 24 hours to capture a glimpse of your life on camera. The most compelling and distinctive footage will be edited into an experimental documentary film, produced by Ridley Scott and Directed by Kevin Macdonald.
So the guy behind Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator, and American Gangster is going to create a documentary from user-generated films about user-generated life. I don’t know whether to be frightened or tremendously excited.
Team Fortress 2 - Apple Mac Trailer
Somehow I missed this trailer a little while ago when Team Fortress 2 finally came to the Mac. Doesn’t matter, it’s still awesome.
In 2009, 21.3 million PC Game full-game digital downloads were purchased online in the U.S. compared to 23.5 million physical units purchased at retail during the same period.
One of the coolest games that came out while I was growing up finally has a sequel. I never beat the first one, so I hope I get the chance with a Steam or PSN sale. It slipped off my to-do list when I ran off to college. Such a fun universe, I hope they nailed it.
There’s a teaser, heavy on the tease.
Pearl Jam “Unthought Known” Live from Berlin
Apparently “shot on a laptop.” As a (former) musician, I dread the thought of someone jamming a notebook in my face while I’m trying to sing or play.

Nice discovery from the developer of GV Mobile, the Google Voice iPhone app that Apple bizarrely kicked out of the App Store.
