Can anyone explain why my iPhone is suddenly refusing to believe there is signal anywhere? Places I'm quite certain there is signal?
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

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.

Noisedesign: how is the ipad as an ereader. Of course it is backlit, which means more eyetrain no matter what, but how does resolution for plain old text compare to eink?
Ultimately I think I'm going to have to actually look at an ipad, but I'd still value your opinion. My Mom's current computer will probably die in the next year and a half. She mainly does browsing and email, with very light composition. And I'm thinking when it is replaced it would be great if she had something portable enough to read the morning paper on-line while eating breakfast. But a regular 20 inch flat screen gives her eyestrain if she uses it too long. So how does an ipad compare to a good desktop monitor? Easier on the eyes, harder on the eyes, about the same?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I haven't had any problems, -t. But I had my phone replaced, and I've been kind of slow putting apps back on it. I need some quality browsing and downloading time.
Which reminds me--any recommendations for an LJ client? I picked the highest starred free one (don't recall the name offhand) and it didn't let me (AFAICT) pick a picture for my post!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
With eInk, you can't have a book like this.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
Not ND, but: I've been reading PDFs on my iPad with GoodReader, which has a "night" setting that changes the white page to gray, which is really, really nice.
Keep in mind if considering the iPad as a replacement computer that you HAVE to sync it to an actual computer at least for the initial setup. (still the stupidest thing about the iPad.)

Can that "actual computer" be a Windows XP PC?
