Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

So, my laptop at home has stopped recognizing the ".exe" string. Everytime I try to double click on a program, it asks me for what program to associate with that file. Any idea how to fix?

Which laptop? If it's the older, crappy one, then it's time to take it back to the school and have it re-imaged.

Nope, the newer one.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Have you run a virus scan?

Yep, I've run AVG and Malware Bytes. And Windows, I think.

Can anyone explain why my iPhone is suddenly refusing to believe there is signal anywhere? Places I'm quite certain there is signal?

try restarting your phone.

Yah, that was the first thing I tried, it didn't work. Phone seems to occasionally believe there is old school signal? But never 3g.

I think you should bring this into the apple store.

Thanks for mentioning ClickToFlash, Tom. I needed that and didn't know it existed.

ita and other Android users: Are you running into many Android apps that won't work on the Cliq (or whatever phone)? I've been told that the Motoblur optimization might interfere with some apps, but I can't figure out if that's a real problem.

Yes, I am still trying to decide on a new phone. If I waffle long enough, there will be a whole new generation of phones to consider.
