Rob, memory is 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

How does one tell Google their search is broken? I mean, image search is buggy as all hell, and I figure they know those use cases, since they're every single time.

I don't know about the movie search, though.

Saturday mornings, I do a search on amc century city. Google does its often helpful thing were the first results are tailored to the type of results you get--those are movie listings. So--I want to see Looper. But when I click on the Google created link for it, or for any other movie, I get some form of this error as they fail to keep the information of AMC Century City much less the whole implicit CA and down the street from me part. It's freaking irritating. I figure maybe people with a one word neighbourhood name don't have an issue and it's not front and centre, but BUG REPORT.

Is the story that private FB messages from before 2009 now appear on your timeline accurate? That seems way extreme, even for them.

Of course, looking at their explanation about email addresses, here: [link] they're...ballsy to say the least.

”This is not a change to our privacy policy, but rather a change to a visibility setting.”

Oh, the loopholes we can explore with that statement.

Consuela, upgrading to 4GB might help.

It will help you figure out if adding more RAM will help.

ita, yes, it's true about the FB messages. I just posted about it on FB. When I checked to see if it was real, I was horrified to see that it was (a friend was going through a divorce in 2009 and her anguished FB messages to me were on my wall). BUT: the only thing I am unsure of is whether they were appearing on my wall to everyone, or to just me (I was logged in as myself, of course). I say that, because I went to that same friend's public wall right away to see if my corresponding private messages about her divorce at that time actually showed up on her wall. And I didn't see the messages I had sent her.

This is possibly a completely stupid question but can I use iCloud to back up the files on my Mac? It kinda seems like I should be able to but, if so, the interface is impenetrable. And it's making me feel like an idiot. Am I just expecting iCloud to be something it's not?

Java, that is my understanding. You can see a bunch of private stuff in your timeline but it is only visible to you. I logged in as CJ and couldn't see the private messages on my timeline. (while he is in school, I get all this passwords).

Yeah, it's a weird glitch. But when I was checking my friend's old wall to look for my messages, I did see a few from other friends of hers that looked suspiciously private in nature. But people use FB different ways, and they could have just been quite personal-sounding public wall messages.

lisah,

what kind of files are you interested in backing up?

Photos and docs?
