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!
They have a very important "Disable Buzz completely" option coming, because as far as I can tell, the instructions given don't do that--they just close off what your profile is currently showing and takes Buzz off your Gmail screen. I'm not sure if it stops people from following you, and I think there was some email address oversharing happening there.
I'm glad to hear it. I really like Google products and I hope they learn a lesson from all of this.

Good. I don't, frankly, see the point of Buzz at all, but for people who dig it, rock on for them. I do, however, have a problem with a company as large as Google getting so pumped about their new thing that they unleashed it upon everyone unasked, without (apparently) consulting their legal team first. Sheesh.
I have a question about OS upgrades. If I were to get an unlocked Android phone from a different vendor and OS upgrades are pushed out by my carrier, would TMobile be sending them to me too? Anyone know?
Argh.
I impulse bought a new TV (flat screen HDTV, whee!) today. I finagled a nearby friend into helping me get it out of my car and into the house, etc.
I have it hooked up to the cable box and TiVo and all (though I'm sure some of this will change as I get new accessories). And it talks to the TiVo and the cable box SEPARATELY....but suddenly the TiVo and cable box don't want to talk to EACH OTHER! WTF???
[Edit: Whew, never mind, guided setup saves the day! And my new TV is SO PRETTY!! And now I want to spend money on other things to make the rest of it look so pretty...dang...]
I just spent nearly three hours tearing my hair out over a SECOND new router not working before I realized I'd plugged in the wrong grey ethernet cable. (Turns out it's the modem that provides the interbunny connection and not the Tivo. Who knew?)
Note to self - label things!!
I have a question about OS upgrades. If I were to get an unlocked Android phone from a different vendor and OS upgrades are pushed out by my carrier, would TMobile be sending them to me too? Anyone know?
Probably not. And I wouldn't necessarily seek the TMobile upgrade out. Carrier-specific OS upgrades do funny things like disable fuctionality if it's not a supported feature. I'd go after the generic OS upgrade, tweaking your settings to be compatible with your carrier.
Besides, TMobile is sloooooow with OS upgrades. My last BB upgrade came almost 8 months after it was officially released by RIM.
From reading around, it wasn't obvious what other way I could get upgrades. It would complicate things if I did receive it, since it wouldn't have been a replacment of same. And not receiving it would, well, put me behind the curve, and the curve was the whole point.
TMobile looks to be being decently timely with their update for the Cliq, which is what I have now. Since they don't support the Droid/Milestone, don't know where that would come from. Googling wasn't suggesting much useful.
That puts a distinct kibosh on the idea of getting a Milestone.
hey, has anyone who is a heavy user of Word switched recently from 2003 to 2007? I knew I'd have to change eventually (it's what the gov't uses now) so I had it installed today. I knew they'd fucked Word up royally but now that I'm actually using it? I SERIOUSLY want to cockpunch Microsoft.
Does anyone have any hints about making it usable again?
It's seems to have deleted my normal.dot too. feh.
It is hard, lisah, when nothing is where it used to be. I suggest using Help to find features you're looking for. It's quicker than trying to poke through options.
Some stuff I use frequently: headers and footers are under Insert. Margins are under Page Layout. Spelling and Grammar, Word Count, and Track Changes are under Review. Zooming is under View. Print and Save As are accessed by clicking the Microsoft symbol in the top right.
Anything else, just ask. I may know where it is.

Well, Office 2007 changed all the other file extensions; maybe this has a new extension too?
