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!
Waittaminute. Help for my OS X application says I should be able to synchronise with gmail, but I don't see the option where they say it should be, under Preferences/General. I just get Yahoo and Exchange and MobileMe.
Anyone know what that's about? I'm on Leopard.
eta: I see that it's only enabled for iTouch/iPhone users, which is not nice of Apple. And the hack I found (editing the ipod plist file) doesn't work for me.
P-C - are you on a PC? If so, why don't you bring in an external hard drive/thumb drive and run firefox off that? The Portable apps firefox is the bomb (at least when I was on PCs).
Oooh, that looks kinda cool. I may look into that for the future.
If you go with that option, most of the firefox extensions work with the portable app version, so for example, if you use xmarks to sync your bookmarks, you could keep them synced to your home computer and the portable version.
Hee. There's an iPhone app that lets you keep track of all the tablet rumors: [link]

But then the KNOW might result in the WANT....
I happened across the price for the processor I upgraded to this fall. Oddly, it was $60 more than what I paid. Out of curiosity I checked out the SSD drive I upgraded with and it's $50 more than what I paid. So that's $110 more than the about $400 I spent on upgrading. It's weird to have prices for stuff like that go up, and I'm amazed my timing was that good.
Not sure about the processor, but there must be a supply issue with flash memory.

Hmmm. I wonder which company is hoarding all the flash memory...
I do have a question. A new computer is currently a long term fantasy. But when I do get it I want to deal with some disability issue. The setup I have at least does not cause intense physical pain. But I still end up hurting and worn out ofter a long session. When I use my netbook lying down, not so much physical strain, as long as I just browse, but if I try to type more than a paragraph on the tiny keyboard, immense pain. (That is also true with a larger notebook that is my main computer, and has a nearly fullsize keyboard. ) I need a very specific size and and layout in my keyboard, one that is not going to happen in any notebook or netbook.
When I try to attach a real keyboard to either computer, the built in keyboards put the screens too far away, and still causes a strain.
So here ia thought. What if, some time in the future I get a tablet computer and then attach a keyboard ? No built in keyboard to move the screen too far from the keyboard while lying down. And what I'm really wondering is how I can test it. Most stores around here don't allow returns of a computer without a restocking fee.
TB, have you seen those computer stands that let the computer come close to you even with a full keyboard?
Or do you need the screen closer still?
