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!
While you definitely shouldn't buy the most expensive HDMI cable you can find, the authors assertion that because this is a digital signal it will either work or not work isn't correct. There's no error correction in HDMI, so if the cable is flawed you will see visual artifacts.
Yeah, but I'd think that most of the time, an HDMI cable will either work or it won't. If the cable is borderline I'd expect visual artifacts, but I'd also think that most all HDMI cables are not borderline.
I had a bad HDMI cable - it must have had an internal break or short, because I had to move the cable around to get it to work (and it either worked 100% or the picture was complete static)>
Weird development with my iPhone....
So yesterday, my iPhone's WiFi stopped working. Like, when I went to turn it on, there was no switch, the whole line was grayed out, and where the switch should be, it simply said "No WiFi". I was worried that the WiFi component had been broken in the drop that cracked a corner of the glass a few days ago, but this morning? It's back.
It was probably just observing a moment of silence in advance of becoming obsolete once the iPad is released.

I wonder how they got static from a digital signal? Do the TVs have static generators?

This would be awesome if it were real.
xkcd is AWESOME today. I don't know if it's an April Fools thing or not, but even though there's no new comic on Thursday you should all check it out.
Gris is evidently a skimmer.
Er, of Natter.
ita evidently doesn't pay attention to what thread she's in.
How does one go about making a podcast? Or, more importantly, since I still own a Nokia made in the year of our Lord 2000, making it available to listen to on a phone?

Here's a decent tutorial:

Excellent, thanks, Jon. So, I'll assume that once it's up, people with iPhones and such can download it wherever? I've been tasked with setting in motion a podcast garden tour, so people can take self-guided tours and be able to play small segments for a given area.
