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!
Cool. 'Cept now I'm wondering - how do you resize a window like Hec's on a Mac if you don't want to maximize it?
eta: Until someone who knows what they're talking about pipes in, my theory is "that's not supposed to happen", and maybe someone else had that Excel file open in a system with a bigger monitor, and it's remembering the size it was last opened to.
"Maximize" on a Mac just means "grow it big". It's not a separate state, like on Windows. So you can push the "Maximize" button, then resize back down to whatever you want.
I've never found a command to move/resize a window by keyboard, though it probably exists.
Google Buzz is a PITA. I am posting a couple of warnings to people here.
1) If you have a public google profile (which I do not), it is possible that all of your contacts will be exposed to the world. Here is an article more about the issue and what to do:
2) If you use google reader, apparently Google Buzz sent an invitation to select people on your gmail contacts list requesting that you follow them. In my case, 2 of the entries on the list were from a friend who died last year, so thanks for dredging up bad memories, Google!
Here is a link to unfollow people who google asked to follow.
Good to know that I have still no reason to release my grudge against Google.

That's exactly what happened.
I am having serious DRM problems with Napster. Although the very act of typing that made me realize one more troubleshooting step I could take. Hmm.
Fifty AG13 button batteries don't take up much space, do they?
I am looking at my recently delivered stash and they all fit on a 3x6 molded plastic tray.
Not bad for $3.80 including free shipping.
So Google Buzz is starting to look like a huge clusterfuck.
Starting?
I wish I could use VOIP on my EVDO modem. It looks like it's possible, but I can't figure out how.
I just had to do the world's most convoluted series of steps to fax something. It's ridiculous. I need, like, a week just to straighten out all my tech and get it working optimally. I need an IT department.
