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!
Turn a "disposable" 10 dollar digital camera from RitzCamera, CVS, or Walgreens into one you can use over and over, just like a normal digital camera.
Most digital cameras are expensive so you don't want to take them places they might get wet, muddy, lost or broken. With this cheap digital camera you can get decent pictures and take it with you wherever you go without having to worry about losing it or breaking it.

I like this, because something about the whole concept of a "disposable digital camera" just annoys me....
Um, not doing any soldering, thank you very much. I'll stick to knitting if I'm goign to do a craft.
Disposable digital cameras are not actually disposed of. They replace parts when they get the film out and sell it again as a new ddisposabe digital camera. So more of a camera share operation like Zipcar is for car sharing.
Anyone know of a simple on line reference for window script hosting. Not just sample files - but the a reference of the basics. It has been so long that I have forgotten how to use the file object for copying files, how to execute exes and so forth. And I'm too cheap to pay for a reference microsoft should have included in the help files.
Free Mac stuff - today only:
This is a deal worth writing home about. Inventive's iClip application, a well-known multiple clipboard utility, is rapidly approaching its 4.0 release. To draw attention and get some new users onboard, they've teamed up with MacZot to give iClip 3 away today for absolutely free. Score it while it lasts, folks.

Ever since I installed the scheduled software updates on my PowerBook yesterday (running 10.4.7) I can't minimize any of my programs, either by double-clicking on the top tab, or by clicking on the tellow button. Nothing happens! Has anyone seen/heard of this before?
Does anyone here have a Motorola Q from Verizon? I am getting myself a new cellphone next week. I was going to get a Treo, but the Motorola Q is cheaper and it seems comparable.
Has anyone replaced their own ipod battery? I'm not worried about going into the machine itself, but whether it was relatively difficult/easy, worked okay, etc.
I got an iPod battery from here: [link]
They have videos you can watch on how to do it - I found their written instructions a little confusing but once I watched the video it made perfect sense.
aurela also asked about this a few months ago - you might want to search for those posts....
In a windows script file in XP home I cannot use appactivate sucessfully with a particular program (I'm guessing written in VB). I can use an the exec method to open the program successfully and capture a process id, but whether I use the window name (displayed in my app list) or the process id, appactivate returns false.
t OK solved the problem. For some reason trying to activate this super buggy app in a loop just hangs for ever. But if I skip the loop and just wscript.sleep 5000 before activating everything is fine. mickey mouse but it works. dunno my you can't DO while appactivate is false, but you can't - maybe constantly trying to get the window keeps the app from fully loading.
