Jonathan ,'Touched'
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!
It's kind of goofy - when you sync the iPad through iTunes, under the Apps tab there's an option to add or remove files that certain Apps use. It makes more sense looking at it than I am describing, but it's pretty clunky. I have to use that for RecipeManager, pretty much everything else I move around using Dropbox or iCloud.
To be be fair, moving files on and off my Palm Pre was a similar process, just using different syncing software.
for this reason (and for 1000 other reasons), I recommend that goodreader and dropbox are two apps you might want to download ASAP. GR is the bomb diggity for downloading files and managing content that way.
If you want to use the iPad for reading things and taking notes, I'd recommend NoteTaker HD. It lets to start with PDF files and draw or write on them, and it's got a nice zoom function that lets you write bigger so that it'll be clearer.
I am going to disagree with Hil a bit: I prefer (for notetaking), Notes Plus or Noteshelf I also think Penultimate is better than Notetaker HD. For annotation, I like iAnnotate (but others like Goodreader).
I'm looking at feedly now - is there a way to make the oldest stuff appear at the top?
[eta: Oh, there it is. It's under "change layout and filtering"]
I'm lame.
Where do I go on my Mac to find the System/Library/Fonts folder?
David, you will find them by opening the hdd icon on the desktop, for one.
It's best to put fonts into the root Library/Fonts folder as the System/library/fonts are the reserved system ones and should not be disturbed.
you can also go to your user folder/library/fonts to put in fonts just for your own use.

I'm upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard here at work - is Archive & Install still the approved way to go?
back your computer up first.
I cannot remember how I upgraded, but my upgrade from leopard, to SL was seamless.
This is pretty surprising in how general it is in scope. But maybe that's the ubiquity of multitouch today speaking. Also, isn't Microsoft going to have to pay them a pretty penny too? I get a whiff of grudgematch off this, personally.
I want to go back and listen to the audio clip about all the data Siri stores (from a positive bent), but it keeps crashing my browser. The Forbes site is an overbusy linkwhoring piece of shite.
