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!

Our wings are not tired

I want a Mac Tablet so. damned. much. I have one of the Toshiba Tablets and it's great. I really really really want that with OS X. It's so much nicer when I have to make adjustments to a system and am wandering an entire facility.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

It would be doubly cool with the integrated video hard/software too.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

okay, I have an Itunes question.

When you uncheck a selection in Itunes on your computer (that you sync regularly with your ipod), what happens? Does that item get removed from the Itunes library? removed from the Ipod? Both?

Does it affect whether or not it plays, but remains in the library? I fucked this up a couple of years ago, but I don't remember what I did.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's not removed from the system.

You can set up smart playlists so they only play checked material. Also, if you're one of those weird people that plays their entire collection, unchecked stuff doesn't play. I have all my podcasts and spoken word stuff unchecked so it doesn't pop up unexpectedly when I'm expecting music.

It remains in the library but doesn't play.

It can still play, if you select it on purpose, or if it's explicitly in a playlist or a smart playlist that includes checked items.

Hey. New board.

It's also an easy way to set up iPod syncing if, for example, you have a 4 GB Nano and a 6 GB collection. You can set it to sync only checked items.

Hey. New board.

No iTreo in that link. I'm disappointed. I like my PDA/Phone convergence too much - if Apple comes out with one and not the other I will cry.
