Huh - restarting Firefox fixed the Lexulous issue, though embedded YouTube videos still seem broken.
Also, Firefox moved or removed the "Clear private data" menu option in the last update. Grrr.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Kymera Magic Wand TV remote — don't tell Voldemort
A British company has come up with a universal TV remote that looks like a magic wand. With 13 gestures to master, the glorified stick changes channels, works the volume control and is compatible with most RC-enabled gadgets.
The Kymera Magic Wand remote is available from October 1 and will set you back $83. Cheap at the price for something so multi-talented: I'd add back scratching, boyfriend poking and nose picking to its abilities.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just replaced my cooling fan! It was quite the ordeal; the stupid screws wouldn't go in straight very easily and then I was afraid of pushing the connector too hard into the motherboard. But I didn't break anything. And now my computer is very quiet and very cool. Cooler than it was before, I think; I can really feel this fan blowing air out.

AHhh! Just about had a heart attack--came home tonight and planned to do some recording of DVDs from things stored on my TiVo, to make room for New Fall Season! And suddenly...nothing worked! I kept hitting remote buttons and it made the bad/sad sound, and nothing would come up! NOOOOO!
I powered it down, and restarted it, and it is working now. WHEW! But I don't have TIME (or, um, inclination or money?) to shop for a new TiVo! Don't SCARE me like that, device!!

Pretty Sony Walkman is pricy. Which is probably for the best because otherwise I'd be all over that brown one.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
if anyone has connected a Tivo wirelessly to a network with an Airport express. I need help.
ETA - of course, the NEXT time I tried, going round a different way, it seems to have worked. 5 hours over 2 nights and buying a new adapter, that's all it has taken. Now to get the software and see if I can download these f'in cartoons.

“Not dead yet!”
Okay, let's see if Buffista magic works here. When I work at my desk (which is about 90% of the time) my MacBook Pro is hooked up to a monitor, everything's great, blah, blah.
If I disconnect from the monitor to use the laptop on its own, any open Word doc pages shrink to approximately 1/8 of its normal size. Or rather, the viewing window shrinks while everything within the window remains the original size. You'd think I'll I have to do is drag the window back open to its normal size, but nope. That doesn't work. Everything else in Word works, I can minimize the window into the Dock, I can copy and paste and scroll. I just can't stretch the freakin' window back to its original size. The only way to do that is quit Word and reopen.
This is something that only started when I switched to Word 2008. Upgrading to Snow Leopard doesn't seem to have altered this tendency any except now the background of the doc remains white rather than turning babyshit brown, which it had been doing.
It's not a HUGE deal, necessarily, just inconvenient. Any searches I've done have come up empty. Any ideas/suggestions?
