Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

is there a particular reason the 3GS doesn't charge while connected to itunes/my computer?

Do you have it plugged in directly to your computer, or are you using a USB hub?

not using a hub. just plugging the usb cord directly into the laptop.

tiggy, your usb port might not be powerful enough to charge the iphone.

Tiggy -- is your laptop plugged in or are you running off the battery?

That might be it. My iPod speakers will charge the iPod but not when they're running off battery.

My router has died. I am connected to the internet with a cable. I am TETHERED!!! Anyone have a suggestion for a new router? I currently have (had) a D-Link DI-614+ 2.4 Ghz router. I live in a one bedroom apartment, so it doesn't need to be too powerful, I would think.
