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!

ROB! *\ o /*

You are fast becoming my favorite tech support!!

I DO have an ethernet cable but I haven't used it for about 9 years.

I'm off to study the tutorial. Cheers!

WOE. The Tivo played almost all of an episode of Top Chef Masters before crashing again.

Either I need to send this thing to Weaknees, or I need to buy a new one. Neither of which are options I can even remotely afford. Fuck.

Even with the ethernet connection...super tedious.

Being on one system for a very long time...at least in my life...leads to a lot of junk.

Deciding what to actually move is proving problematic.

Why not let the migration assistant move everything? The new box must have way more space than the old one.

I'm having trouble getting the assistant to work. I've got to read a tutorial for that!

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

So, the Tab doesn't charge with a standard charger with the screen on. Do other devices charge faster from a Tab charger, our is the device the limiting factor? Also, if I'm shipping blind, what are the specs the Tab requires? The Touchpad has different requirements too, right? Are there many other devices that can't "make do"?

Rob, and other Mac folk, have any of you added memory to a mac mini?

Everyone I've spoken to so far says 'don't go there!' it's too complicated, you'll get hurt, you'll break it, etc.

I watched a tutorial yesterday that shows it is definitely more in depth than it used to be, but not THAT difficult.

The only thing I don't have is a non-static surface.

Am I being too ambitious?

Having Apple add 8mg would cost me $240...doing it myself will be about $50.

Someone explain this to me.

The new iPhone is the 6th generation. It's running iOS 6 on an A6 chip.

And it's called the iPhone 5.

I don't care how pretty and fast and thin it is and I want one, that is just dumb.

I think it would have been weirder if they'd gone straight from the 4 to the 6.
