I'm thinking more for traveling with media, since there's no cloud storage for iTunes yet. A 16GB flash drive would be a good way to carry an extra season or two of TV in case you run out of things to watch on the road.

I do that with my iPhone quite a bit right now. Even with only 16 GB on the iPhone I'm amazed at how much I can squeeze onto the device. I think with the 32 or 64 GB version there will be a lot of room for keeping extra stuff around.

I'm thinking more like that one keyboard that is actually just a glowing projected thing you type into. I don't remember what it's called, but seems it could be the perfect companion. That or one of the ones you can roll up.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

ND, in one review I read, the author indicated that apple used language like "import" for the iwork applications. Which the author thought could mean that Pages on the Ipad does something slightly different to the file than if it were on the desktop.

I'm sure it will be a different sort of file system, but to me as long as it can get on and off the device I don't care what they call it. I'm hopeful that it is an improvement over the folder style system of a desktop OS. I've used Windows tablets for years and the desktop OS does not work very well in a handheld config. It's why I prefer the iPhone over the Windows Mobile device I used to use. The winmobile at the time was a tweak to a desktop OS that didn't work well handheld.

I'm guessing there is no adblock plug in for Google Chrome, huh?

ETA

Never mind. Found them.

not your mom's socks.

gah potential Adobe customer support fail. I got an 'your upgrade window is expiring' email and fell for it, plunking down the money for an upgrade. Now, after hours of downloads, no install because it can't find a valid serial number. I've had one qualifying system from adobe that I purchased myself, and another that came through volume licensing. I'd like to be up to speed, and the email widget seems to think that was possible. Now I'm waiting for the west coast to wake up so I can find out if they just wasted my time.

I'm giving Chrome a shot now. Extensions make all the difference.

I have a feeling I already know the answer to this one. Is there any way to sort by color in Excel?

(One of my dear colleagues in another office has ignored my instructions to use the number-code column and instead labeled her selections in yellow...on a spreadsheet of nearly 6000 lines...)
