iirc Apple gets a % of the monthly charge for all iPhone users. If it is somebody switching *to* AT&T, they get some kind of bonus, not sure if it's a one time thing, or a monthly thing. But the iPhone has turned into a HUGE revenue source for Apple.

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!

Hey, does anyone know how the find out the numbered IP address for a site? There's a website that for some reason I can't get to at work, but is fine at home. Our web guys aren't savvy enough to be blocking shit (and I don't know why they would anyway, if the were going to be blocking anything for me, I would think it would be b.org), so it's probably an accident or some other random issue. Of course, it's personal, so I couldn't call the help desk even if I thought that they could fix it. So, I had the idea to try the number. Thoughts?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Open up a terminal (or DOS) window and ping the site. For example, just type
ping yahoo.com
The results will include the IP address.

Click Start then Run. Type in cmd and then click Okay. You'll get the command line. Then type ping www.sitename.com.

thanks, guys! Unfortunately, it still didn't work. I can't figure out why I can't access this site from my work computer. Grrr.

try open DNS. Maybe the DNS server is wonky.

So, does anyone else have a TiVo (of the DVD-burning kind) and the ability to get fancy digital TV or whatever? What do I need??
