I'm going to do some traveling in the next few weeks and purchased the World Travel Adapter Kit from Apple for my iPad and iPod Touch. I also intend to take my Galaxy Tab 7 plus and I'm trying to keep down my cable/adapter mess. The adapter kit is listed as 5.1v and 2.1 amps. The adapter for...

Sold my iPad 1st gen in Belize with the goal of purchasing a 3rd gen on my return.

This goes back to Bill Gates. He didn't know what a leap year was on the last o/s he wrote (the model 100).

Must have Steam . . .

Have you tried this? http://hugin.sourceforge.net/ I snagged this some months back and, with only 1 or 2 exceptions, it has worked flawlessly. I don't keep any online photo accounts so no samples - sorry.

I've got both a first gen ipad and the transformer so have had a btof a chance to play with both sideby side. I'd argue that the ipad/ios combo is much more stable (and better supported) than android (read "honeycomb)/transformer at this time. I haven't locked up or crashed the ipad...

I picked up a transformer as a second (play) tablet just to see what Android was all about. I snagged a program called "Android File Transfer" which allows you to view and transfer files from the Mac to the tablet with just a file manager window. Works pretty good for that. To sync contacts...

I'll read a number of reviews on products I'm considering before even looking at the products in person. This gives me a better idea of what I'm facing when coming down to that final purchase. Hence my purchase of an Asus Transformer instead of an Acer Iconia (and finding file transfer for...

I just snagged a Transformer yesterday and couldn't be happier with it.

Dammit no edits . . . I did a custom build once for a friend of my mothers only to have her come back months later that it no longer worked and to fix it or replace it (out of pocket). She'd let her cat sit/sleep on the machine and it was so full of cat hair that the PSU had toasted...

One of the most accurate articles on the bullshit we do for our friends and family. 13 years ago, after my father passed, I had to teach my mom how to use a computer (dad always took over when trying to teach her way back when and would just berate her until she wouldn't touch a machine) and...

How about this? http://www.gizmag.com/cropmark-lmp-bluetooth-keypad/17652/ 39.95 @ http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Cropmark/8337/

That is incorrect. It was a SINGLE complaint of using a "derogatory" term towards gays. http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/article/921054--dire-straits-song-ruled-unfit-for-canada

Does this mean that Apple can now take down Samsung's website? Can Kodak take down <insert name here> for violations? This is outrageous - an absolute lack of due process.

<quote from the article> "You don't want the old-fashioned bookstore customer who goes in and sits and reads a book for two hours. You want people going in there who are hungry for experience," said Richard Hastings, a consumer strategist with Global Hunter Securities. </quote> I tend to...

I agree with phide on this. Use MP3TAG to check your original WMA files and correct the metatags as needed.

I'm playing on a 1-1/2 yr old Mac Mini with no issues. I've got a pair of older 22" Acer 16:10 displays and a Logitch Trackman Wheel. The only "additional" cost was a Mac keyboard.

Next, play Wolfenstein . . .

Though I do have a few ebooks, I still prefer to hold a hard copy in my hands. I do order books from Amazon and I still like to wander into Chapters and just wander through the store.

Given the choice of freezing my ass off or the internet I'll choose . . . moose jerky.

What can't I access for media in Canada due to licensing agreements between television networks? Is it enough to make the purchase of an Apple TV unit a disappointment?

I understood that this was a residential structure. Additional photos of the building show hollow support piles instead of a solid concrete structure thus providing little or no structural support. Excavation adjacent to the building undermined structural support thus allowing the building to...

Not that I've really noticed except for video on local news.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Phillip K. Dick

<geek> The director's cut was horrific and missed much of the film's original intent. See the original theatrical release with all the voice overs - huge difference. </geek>

I wouldn't object to trying out Autocad on the Mac but just plain jane Autocad doesn't cut it. I've been using Land Development Desktop and Autodesk is forcing us into Civil 3D (the data management sucks gimme back LDD). As an engineering firm, we wouldn't be able to migrate to an OS X...

Autodesk fails each and every year by bringing out half-assed "new versions" (incomplete upgrades that require patch after patch). The subscription approach is purely a money grab and not necessary in terms of actual production. I'd rather go back to R14 than the current versions that have...

Accessories and apps appear to be based on physical size and what the market will bear. I agee with the op and others - I have a "cap" on what I'll spend on an accessory and this is about ten times that amount. My ipad stand is a bent up coat hanger . . .

Thanks!

I've got a coworker's daughter who has had her PC infected with one of those ever so freakin' lovely fake AV programs. I intend to do a rescue on her system (photos, music, etc) then reformat. What I intend to do is use a Mac Mini for a temporary backup then recopying her files back to the...

And for those that won't rip cleanly, run RipIt first, then Handbrake on the image created.

Pet peeve . . . The word is "gist".

Maybe try RipIt then run handbrake on it the image file created?

tff

Uhm . . . have we missed the obvious here perhaps? Is the workgroup name the same between the two machines?

I run a mixed os x and xp network at home with few issues (the one windows box likes to drop off now and again though). I use: - the same network name - static ip address I've not had to manually point to the xp machines through finder using the SMB setting. I'll try and...

Same here. There is something about the way a book feels. I've read a few books in an ereader but will stick with paper.

I've never understood mom's issues on Windows as versus her ready acceptance and usage of os x. She did get better over the years with Windows (she was forced onto the computer after pop's passed away) but if anything went sideways or diverged from a given pattern, I'd get phone calls. With...

I spent 10 years teaching my mother how to use a Windows box (she's 65 now) and we got her a Macbook last year - what a world of difference. As for ease of use, my 5 and 8 year old nieces plough through my iPad with no issues.
