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!
I love this sequence of product codenames:
Earlier this year, Nvidia (NVDA) shared its Tegra roadmap, indicating that its quad-core chips will be also be shipping in smartphones as early as the first part of 2012. Nicknamed "Kal-El," this system-on-a-chip is said to be five times faster than the Tegra 2 processor, which is used in many current top-of-the-line smartphones and tablets. Next in line is the "Wayne" series (yes, Nvidia has a superhero thing going on with its chips), which the company says will be 10 times faster than the Tegra 2, followed by the "Logan" (50 times faster!) and finally the "Stark" (75 times faster!).
Though, really, I'd have put Logan at the bottom of the pack. Or the top.
It's really not worth it to return a USB to mini B cable when I needed micro B if it only cost 2.99 in the first place. If someone needs one, I'd be more than happy to send it their way.
I'm (now) guessing it's micro B that I need.
I need about 2 500GB+ external drives (portable) and 1 750 GB+ portable. Is newegg the best place to look or should I do amazon (or another place).
Check dealnews.com. They aggregate special offers and HD deals are pretty common.
So, I absolutely DID NOT just knock my ipod into a (freshly flushed, thankfully) toilet. Who would do that?! If I had, though, and had already shaken out as much water as possible, and used canned air at every opening to try to get rid of more water, would I then want to try to pry it open for further active drying or leave it alone to dry on its own (while perhaps lighting a candle for it)?
A common recommendation is to bury it in uncooked rice for a couple of days.
I am posting from my new HP TouchPad, scored at the firesale. It's my first tablet and I like it a lot, so far. I may have squeed aloud. In fact, I did.
Now to find apps.
Will try that as soon as I get home, Ginger, Thx.
Yes, bury it in rice. I'd even move the rice around once a day or so. Or swap it. You are trying to use the moisture sucking properties of the rice to steal the moisture hiding in your iPod.
An email address just landed in my lap. itahackerfb@gmail.com was resetting their email address, and my email was the back up addy. Which is only better because the whole is in Malay or some language I don't understand.
So I reset the password, because I'm nosy like that, and now it's empty and mine. What?
