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!
le nubian, I have the Bluetooth off and have turned the wifi off and on.
I think part of the problem is that the modem doesn't handle streaming well. It crashes when I try to watch something live. It also doesn't seem to be fond of Flash either. It certainly doesn't like streaming and playing a flash game at the same time!
I'm going to see if I can watch a few short videos and see if that crashes it.
I also know that my sister's modem is quite a bit older than mine and may not be handling the speed the provider has moved up to. If that makes any sense.
Does that mean there aren't a limited number of virtual desktops where you can group apps, but virtual desktops per app?
There are still virtual desktops where you can group apps. If you run an app in fullscreen mode, it is put in its own personal virtual desktop.
Ah, good. Because that would have stopped me from upgrading. Now I'll think about it.
I just placed an order for 10 of the new 2.5 GHz Mac Minis.
Thunderbolt will end up being pretty nice. Right now there's not a lot for it, but it's not replacing any ports right now. The old MacBook Air only had USB, the new one has USB and Thunderbolt, so you gain a port and don't lose any. The Mac Mini has both Thunderbolt and FW800.
I also know that my sister's modem is quite a bit older than mine and may not be handling the speed the provider has moved up to. If that makes any sense.
What is the model? This could very likely be the case.
At some point Thunderbolt won't be Apple only and I expect the peripherals should start to become more plentiful at that point.
NoiseDesign, does that mean you might have a slightly used mini that you want to unload?
There is a very good chance I will have a few machines that are ready to sell off shortly. I believe possibly some Mac Minis as well as some iMacs, and probably a MacBook or MacBook Pro.
Oooh, really? I might be interested in a Mini (my big HP laptop is better suited for staying on my computer desk at home, which is fine most of the time, but I've been thinking I'd like to have a little one to take to school).
I'll let folks know what's going up for sale once I've got the new machines configured and ready to drop into my rental batch. I get back to LA at the beginning of August and will know little while after that.
