Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

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

I would like my phone to be able to have different configurations based on location. That must exist, right?

So one profile when it knows I'm at work (either by GPS or by WiFi) which doesn't necessarily have the Doctor Who theme music, but full blast everywhere else, maybe something different on my home network. I also don't need my tablet to ring when I'm in the office. Just elsewhere.

Does anyone know if there is a place to sell your iPhone 4? (or if anyone knows someone who wants one?) I thought I saw something on the Apple web page about buying back iPhones but now I can't find it anywhere.

Stephanie, try Gazelle.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Stephanie, at&t or Verizon?

compare gazelle to apple trade in program. I did gazelle and apple's programs over the summer because for one of my computers, apple's deal was MUCH better.

Okay, I think I've found the location-aware app I was thinking of. It's called Locale and it costs $3.99. It switches configurations based on GPS and WiFi locations. I've bought it for my phone, and will try it out for a week and see if it's worth getting on the tablet too. Looks like there are a *ton* of plugins, so that should be interesting.

Maria, at&t

And thanks for the Apple Recyling link. I've been looking for that but couldn't find it anywhere.

I vaguely remember being told to avoid Seagate hard drives - is that still true? Because this seems like a pretty good price:

Our wings are not tired

I've had the opposite experience. Seagates are my preferred drives. I've had bad luck with Western Digital.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Great strides have been made hacking Siri back to iPhone 4 and even to the iPad...
