Am I the only one who still has a working non- click-wheel iPod?I did. Until I took it with me to take a bath a few months ago. It slipped. And drowned.
It's run, not walk. Also? nonslip case. not bare iPod cause they are slickery.
Mal: I call you back? Wash: No, Mal. You didn't. Zoe: I take full responsibility, cap.

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!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
You know, I just hit the year mark this month with my 6GB pink mini, and I really have no idea how to listen to music any other way now. It's great--except I've *just* started having problems with it now that the warranty's expired. And it has to last at least another year, because I know I'm not going to be in any position to purchase another one while I'm away. Sigh. Stupid non-long-lasting new ones.

Random question--any of y'all have an old iBook or something that you want to sell? My boss was asking if I knew anyone who is getting rid of a laptop, as his wife and daughter are going to Africa for a month, and theirs just died, but they don't want to buy a *new* one just to take (I think they're holding out for him to get them one of the new intel ones, when they get back).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Has Google been acting strange for anyone else today? Earlier I got a 404 searching for something (can't remember), and just now I got a weird "Your query looks like something a robot would ask for. Are you a real person???" page searching for "sudoku." (Since I couldn't see the CAPCHA image they wanted me to type, I just searched for the same thing again in my toolbar, and it worked normally.)

Ahhh, fuck. So once again, this morning my computer quit working---it gave me a shaded-screen "you must restart your computer now, push the power button (here's a big graphic of the power button!)". And when I tried to restart, it went for about half a second...then gave me that again. And again. And again. And again.
Finally I gave up and booted off the startup CD, where it was unable to fix the drive, which is what happened a month ago...so once again, I wiped and reformatted and reinstalled OSX. This time I had a more recent backup, thankfully. But STILL! This is NOT APPRECIATED. This damn computer is only just two years old. NOT that old.
Anyone have any ideas?

All is well that ends in pizza.
That's weird, Meara. I'd hazard to guess there is something funky going on with the drive itself, or you have a program that is really messing where it shouldn't.
Many people go years and years without having to reformat a Mac OS drive.
I have been irritated at Symantec since they stopped letting you boot to a useable disk doctor from their Systemworks CD, or I'd recommend the investment.
Hmmm, I wonder what the current SOTA is in bootable, actually useful repair CDs? Diskwarrior, maybe?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Yeah, I think Disk Warrior is what the cool kids are using. I concur with Daniel's diagnosis of possible culprits.

Holy crap.
The RED ONE digital video camera was just announced at NAB. It has comparable specs to the high-end Panavision digital camera (at least as far as the electronics go. I can't say anything about the optics). While you can only lease Panavision's camera, the RED ONE will sell for $17,500.
