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

ita,
okay...I'm not sure I understand everything you said. So I DON'T need a bluetooth adapter because if I have the cable, the computer should recognize the phone? What if I want to tether the phone, do I need Phone Tools and an adapter?
tommy,
funny shit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What does "tether" mean?
I zoomed in on your description of the phone as Bluetooth. If you want a Bluetooth connection, then you obviously need the adapter for the phone. I'm not sure exactly what capability you get with the Tools, but if you don't have them, there's nothing you can do with a Razr when it's connected via a USB cable.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
okay, so I *do* need the tools and an adapter.

Yurk. I said adapter for the phone. I meant Bluetooth adapter for the PC.
Okay--here's the meat of it:
What do you want to do? Via bluetooth I send files back and forth to and from the phone. That's with the PC. With my Mac I sync the address book and calendars too.
Here's what the Tools can do when you connect via cable.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I'm in the market for either a digicam or a camcorder. I know we have a bunch of shutterbugs here so I'd like to ask for recommendations.
If I get a digicam, top priorities would be:
- manufacturer with good customer service (not handholding, but good in case it needs warranty repairs)
- good battery life
- decent-sized lcd
- movie mode
- good in low light
If I get a camcorder, top priorities would be:
- manufacturer with good customer service (not handholding, but good in case it needs warranty repairs)
- good in low light
- takes good stills
- battery life
A nice plus would be if the controls were manual rather than virtual and if the size is compact. For range, I think $250 is the most I'd pay for a digicam and $400 the most I'd pay for a camcorder. Of course I'd rather pay less. I don't need the newest thing. I'm happy with solid performers.
My habits: taking pictures at parties and gigs, taking pictures of plants and architectural details...I'd like to start messing with video and maybe make some videoblogs. The #1 place I'd be taking videos is at gigs so high performance in low light is key.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I'm a big fan of Sony camcorders. I've had two, and never had a lick o'trouble with either.

Weird question: Ok, so this weekend, I moved my PC into the bedroom. (Yes, we have the love that cannot be named.) (No, really, I'm writing a book on summer vaca, and the only AC is in the bedroom -- no, REALLY.)
Shut up.
Anyway, I was wondering....can I set an alrm on my PC? To like wake me up to a certain album or .wav file or something?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
There are freebie programs out there that you can download to do that. I'll ask the SO which one he got.
eta: Ah, here. It's called Perfect Alarm, from Celescom. It's free, it lets you pick any .mp3 or .wav or whatever, test the sound for volume, label your alarms. It also functions as a scheduler, where you can set any program to launch at a specific time. Works great.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My cable modem keeps crapping out today. It has five lights on the front, the middle one is the "data" one, and it's either solid (not flashing) or just off. I unplug the modem, plug it back in, and it comes back to life for a while. The modem has no buttons on it, so unplugging seems to be the only thing I can do? Any ideas? Is this going to become a bigger problem?
