My mother's laptop, which is pretty close to being her link to sanity as she sits in a hotel room in Baton Rouge, has started spontaneously shutting off. Anyone have a guess what might be happening? My first thought is overheating -- could that happen if she's just sitting at a desk, using it?
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The only place I can see a Shuffle being useful is at the gym, and they don't allow cell phones in the cardio area.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
The Shuffle is also good at the dentist, but there again I don't think a cell phone would be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I use the Shuffle when I'll be carrying it on my body, or when the risk of loss/fall is too great to risk the iPod. Oh, and to carry the music I teach krav to. I most always don't want to or can't have a phone in those scenarios.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
WANT!
OHMYGOD ME TOO! I THINK MY ASSCAPS ARE BIGGER THAN THAT THING!

Oh dear. I might have to buy that.

Oh WOW that's wantable.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My biggest fear is that I'd stick it in my back pocket, sit down and break it.
