Starbucks Introduces Its Largest Size Drink: The Trenta

I don’t recall the last time I ordered a venti Frappuccino but I remember it was chocolate cream and it took ages to finish. Trenta is… well, huge. Pretty close to a liter and most large drink bottles don’t go that size. I wonder how long anyone would take to finish a Trenta-sized drink

Reimagination of the Day: Animaniacs, um, maniac Dr. Toonhattan flexed his Flash 8 muscle to produce this rather unnecessary shot-for-shot South Park-style remake of the Animaniacs title sequence.

As one Cartoon Brew commenter notes, this is at once terrible and fantastic.

iPhone alarm didn’t ring on New Year’s Day?

Kris: iPhone alarm bug on New Year Eve? Sounds weird.
Me: no it doesn’t because it didn’t ring. 😉
Kris: LOL. Just to sign that this “Hey, happy new year. I’m not ringing coz.. You know, it’s new year!” reason? 😀
Me: ya iya lah, either you’re still awake from overnight partying or you’re so tired you don’t wanna wake up. Fixes itself on Jan 3rd.
Kris: Well, people should stop calling it as a bug. I propose something more fancy: It’s a feature.
Me: I’m surprised nobody picked up this angle when they reported in yesterday. LOL. Apple is looking after your afterparty needs.

Hey Aussies, been to Capricornia?

Duplicate songs in iPod app

I’ve got a number of duplicate listings of songs in my iPhone’s iPod app when iTunes clearly has no duplicates of them. The strangest thing is the duplicate songs have modified artist IDs.

I’ve got the album The First Blooming by Kara, a K-pop group. The album is listed twice, one with KARA as its artist ID spelled out in all caps, the other with Kara (카라) in both latin and Hangul.

Because the iPod app sees the songs as by different artists, it has them listed in separate entries giving me two albums, listing the same songs. That is certainly not how it is in iTunes. There’s only one copy of the album and its songs in iTunes’ library listed as by Kara (카라).

I unsynced the songs so the iPhone has no songs in its storage and synced them back in but they came back as they were. I don’t recall this ever happening before. I wonder, has anyone ever come across something like this?
