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 stopped by Costco and they're selling the Nikon D50 kit (includes a 256MB SD card and an 18-55 Nikkor zoom) for $769.
I'm pretty committed to that being my birthday/Christmas present...can I wait that long, is the question?
I handled their shackled unit, and it's so light! And it did have batteries in. Weird feel, but basically similar to my current non-digital SLR.
Can I wait?
More Mac rumors:
Apple is planning to release its first entry-level iBook laptops with Intel processors next January at Macworld Expo in San Francisco, highly reliable sources have confirmed to Think Secret.
It is not known exactly what processors or price points the new models will debut at, but it is thought Apple will expand the iBook line with one additional model and will lower prices—in some cases possibly $200 or more—to entice current Windows users and prove to the market it will be more competitive with the likes of Dell, Gateway, HP and Sony.
Okay. Treo software I can't live without. Go.
An ssh client with a warning "pssh is probably INSECURE!" is funny.
Thanks, Tom. Both of those seem interesting.
So far, I'm hating the built in Palm contact list. It's just not flexible enough (I want to be able to display emails on the main contact page for people whose phone number i don't have, for example, and can't see a way to do it.) Is there a replacement out there?
Mine displays that, Gris. I'm not sure how, but it always has. I think you can define the field as primary, or switch the first field to e-mail and put it there.
Huh. Hmm. Okay, I'll keep playing.
For $9.95 I can get something called Address XT that looks nice, so I'll give that a try too.
ETA: Annoyingly, the iSync conduit doesn't send some information I'd really like it to send (like AIM names), and I don't have Tiger so I can't use the better Missing Sync tools. Bah. (Just noticed that).
ETAA: Oh, Address XT also lets me sort First name, last name. That's a must feature for me.
I have Agendus on my Clie. It's not free, but I like it a lot.
That looks interesting, Jessica.
Way back when, with the first Clie, Intellisync synched my PDA with my desktop and with my Yahoo contacts. Is that, or an analog still possible, anyone know?
