What does it mean when my regular wireless system says its connected but it doesn't have internet access? (I had to connect through a different available system.)

How could I not have access? It was working Sunday night but not last night or this morning.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Over 77 Percent of Lifehacker Readers Say Google's Search Results are Less Useful Lately

We asked readers last week whether what influential bloggers said was true—that Google was losing the war against search result spam. Your response? More than three quarters found Google prone to spam, with one-third tagging the decline as significant.

Because Google has the biggest market share for search, the spammers go after it more than other search engines.

I can't believe that no one is talking about the iPhone being on Verizon! Or did we completely talk it out during the many times that the rumors surfaced?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

More info: Verizon's iPhone is going to annihilate every phone in the U.S.

eta: The Verizon iPhone has a built-in mobile hotspot and redesigned antenna.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Speaking of non Verizon things, what's the best free audio editor for the Mac? I don't need more than clipping and matching up WAVs and MP3.

I think Audacity is very good.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

This may be my first ever post in Tech, weird. Hope my question hasn't been answered a dozen times already, 'cause I only read recent stuff.

Anyway, I'm giving serious consideration to the idea of kicking Time Warner to the curb and switching to AT&T U-verse. But I've got stuff on my DVR I'd like to hang on to. What are my options, and does anyone have any recommendations for or against particular methods?

Thanks.
