Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

One needs [link] to transfer files to the Tab on the Mac.

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

I don't have this iPod synching with the Mac. Could that be it?

Thanks, Rob!

Now back to the mystery of no video calls with Skype. Tab forums say it's not possible, but the market page says Galaxy Tab should be a go. What I can't work out is if they mean all Tabs (sizes and WiFi) or not.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hm, well, I am suddenly having a problem with iTunes not opening and the iPod is not mounting without iTunes, so maybe?

I feel like I jinxed you! Sorry!

Does anyone have any recommendations for password vault software that's cross-platform and shares a DB? I'm wondering if it's worth it to drop $9.99/year for Keeper Backup.

eta: Also, I note Mint isn't available for the Galaxy Tab. Any finance tracking recommendations?

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

You should just pay me to keep your passwords for you.

I'm trying to keep out of the Scola password business! You're totally up to date on when I change devices, because I never remember to record and transfer the stupid b.org password from one vault app to the next.

In the meanwhile, I'll just fire up a separate instance of Keeper on the Tab and try and spare you for another few months.

Hey. New board.

Gris--I have been playing around with Firefox on Android, and it keeps its window selection off to the left of the main pane, not using tabs at the top. Does that satisfy your issue?

Maybe! I'll check it out. For now, I've discovered that Dolphin HD in fullscreen mode gives you a window switcher instead of tabs, though I wish there was an easier way to enter addresses in that mode. Still, it's a more satisfying option than any other I'd found.

Can't you just use mint.com on the Tab with no app? That size screen, I'd think the web version would look great.

Is the app 100% dependent on an internet connection? I was assuming not, but maybe that's why it's not available for the WiFi.

Groupon's not available for it either, annoyingly.

Well, it's a good thing I still love my phone.

I finally found out where Swype was hiding. Whew! I'm not sure why I couldn't find it before. Maybe the system upgrade did the trick.

Coding and Sleeping

I use 1Password (not on mobile devices, but it supports them), and it might work for you. Worth a look.
