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.

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 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.
Hello, my geeks. I am trying to sync an iPhone app with its counterpart on my Macbook via wi fi. I'm working my way through the troubleshooting info the app gives [link] and tried pinging my iphone. I get from 0% to 50% pingback, even with my phone and Macbook sitting three feet from my router. I've rebooted both the iPhone and Macbook but not the router or modem (but I rebooted those earlier this week). I tried setting an ad hoc network (that was pre reboot). I have the most recent versions on both macbook and iphone.
Help?
Possibly related question - I found with my 3Gs and it seems to be the same with my iPhone 4 that wi fi is much slower than the 3G network. Like, today, I couldn't even get the App Store to open until I turned off wi fi. What's with that? Could it be my router? It's a linksys I got from amyth, so I don't even know how old it is.
Does anyone know if there is a place to sell your iPhone 4? (or if anyone knows someone who wants one?)
Wow, wish I'd seen that post last Friday. Oh, well.
I really wish that the Supreme Court would rule that the current application of patents to the computer(etc) industry is counter-productive to the intent of the system and force a major overhaul.
But, then, I wish for many things.
Sorry, smonster, I have no helpfulness.
