    Lenovo x220t touchpad

    The touchpad and gone nuts. I can barely type a post without the cursor jumping around in some unpredictable way. I don't need a new laptop, frankly, but this is driving me nuts. I've always had bad luck with touchpads except on the MBA, but I'm a Windows guy and some I like to use the x220t...

    e-sata and multiple multi-drive enclosures

    Does anyone know of a low-cost e-sata card that has the port multiplier feature enabled for multiple multi-drive enclosures? I'd much rather not pay $200 for a single card.

    I making a separate thread on this rather than jumping on another thread... I'm noticing that keyboarding on forums like this one using an android tablet is challenging. On both my nexus 7 and 10 I seem to have problems,struggles, using the built in KB. The cursor likes to jump around a lot...

    Asus Infinity Pad TF700

    Just picked one up from BB....after getting it up...it updates to Jelly Bean 4.1.1. However, it still looks like 4.0.3, which is running on my Acer A500. What gives here? Is it wearing a skin? I didn't realize it users a proprietary connector. Cringe. Impulse buy not working. :)

    Star Trek and Tabs

    I recently re-watched ST:TNG and the DS9. I was amazed at how they used tablets on those shows (probably on the original too, but I didn't re-watch those). They called them "Pads" on those shows. They had different sizes too depending upon the application. That time is here now. We can have...

    Windows 8 Laptop/Tablet

    I've seen several showing up for review on CNET, so I'm going to be in the market for one as long as it is 1) under 3 lbs. I need a light machine. 2) has a digitizer pen/screen so I can write on it. 3) Not too expensive. If I have to pay $1200, I'll do without. Have any dates been formally...

    Windows 7 on MBA

    Not saying I'm going to do this...but the MBA is the ONLY laptop whose keyboard I can actually use for extended periods..and the reason is because of the trackpad. For some reason, on every laptop I've had, the cursor would jump all over the place whenever I use the keyboard for extended and...

    New MacBook Air - How to figure it all out...

    I've been a PC/Windows guy forever. The iPad was my first, non-iPod, Apple product. Luck smiled on me so I now have this 13-inch Air...I would not have bought it using my own money, but now that I have it I plan to use it. This OS seems every bit as complex as Windows. I can't seem to get it...

    Skin or cover for 13" Air?

    I'm taking possession of a 13-inch MacBook Air today. Luckily, I didn't have to spend my money on it or I would not have bought it, though I do have a particular use for it. I see lots of people putting these in some kind of case or covering. I assume they are trying to protect the outer body...

    Viewing HTML E-mails on iPhone 4S

    I recently got an iPhone 4S. I have noticed that whenever I get an HTML email (and I get a lot of them), the mail app on the iPhone 4S does not show any of the graphics (I get empty blocks instead). However, on my old Droid Incredible and on my iPad 2, I see them just fine. I can't seem...
