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!
That's pretty much how I'm set up with Safari, although not cross-platform. I kind of miss having multiple OSes, sometimes. Anyway, I have been annoyed at how editing my bookmarks on one device may or may not propagate to the others and there doesn't seem to be a way to access bookmarks directly from iCloud and force them to do what I want.
Eta: ...and I am already in love with Opera mini. Why have I not been using it all along? Sometimes I don't understand myself.
Does this: [link] look reasonable for a touchpad that doesn't click anymore? I feel like I'm hammering it to get response.
Or should I take it in for repair?

Don't buy a Cisco (Linksys) router. Also, if you have a Cisco router with a model number of E2700, E3500 or E4500, be sure to read this:
Cisco’s cloud vision: Mandatory, monetized, and killed at their discretion
Linksys built its brand on reasonably priced, widely compatible routers with decent performance, idiot-proof setup, and a few frills at the upper end of its product mix. As of last week, buying a new Linksys router means being forced to adopt a “cloud” service that offers no benefits, allows Cisco to snoop your Internet history, and gives the company the power to control access to hardware you legally purchased.
Hmm. I have an E3200. I will at least look and see if it's set to automatically update in case they're just gonna get around to this model later.
OK, can someone tell me why I can't see comments on LJ sometimes?
I'm reading a post on my flist, and at the bottom it says there are 5 comments, but I can't see them. This has happened to me several times recently: like here: [link]
I just turned off Ghostery, so nothing is being blocked, but I can't see any of the comments. It's the same if I use style=mine or format=light--no comments at the bottom, even though the number of comments is actually listed.
ETA: I'm on a Macbook, using the most recent version of Firefox, but it happens at work, too, using IE. Guess I should check it with another browser.
EATA: I can see the comments using Safari, though. WTF.
Facebook has really fucked up people’s email. Check your address book: [link]
which reinforces why I changed my user name to [my name}IsAnnoyed, so that my facebook email is [my name]IsAnnoyed@Facebook.com. Sometimes my snarky is borderline genius!
Yeah, it's funny, but you can only change your user name once ever, so you better be sure that's what you want going forward. I am deeply pissed at fb for the email thing, though.
I love the internet. John Scalzi stupidly left his new MacBook Air in JFK recently, and he's identified its location and locked it remotely.
What are the chances he'll ever get it back? Low, I guess: but I love that the technology exists for him to get this far with the hunt.
Me, I wouldn't know how to start, but then my laptop rarely leaves my house...
