Toast is pretty easy, but I don't know what it costs, or how well it works with anything that is not recorded tv.
Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

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 a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hey. New board.
that seems to in no way be how iMovie works.
Really? That's basically how I'd describe iMovie. There are some tricks to using it better, but if you follow a couple of basic tutorials (even the built-in ones) I think you'll be able to do what you want faster and more easily on that than anything else you're likely to find.

So no one has any camcorder knowledge they can bring to bear on my sister's query?

What's she going to do with the footage?

I think it's for academic archival and reference. Not moviemaking or rebroadcast, but I'll verify. She's moving from audio recordings of her interviews to video.

I guess it depends on whether it records usable sound. It used to be hit or miss with camcorders to get decent sound, but for all I know these flash-based cameras all record well.
I don't know how you can tell that without trying it.

Living in Jamaica you don't get to try before you buy.
I guess--what can you buy for ~$50 that can give her decent footage to analyse body language? So maybe audio isn't the big deal. Tripods are useful too, for that price.

We had a warning go out yesterday at work asking people not to decline invitations on iOS 6 devices, because it was frelling the meetings declining multiple people, and somesuch. Anyone encountered anything like that, or is it just a peculiarity of our email (Exchange) setup?
As for my sister, she will be reviewing on a laptop screen. I'd imagine VGA would be fine.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It's a known bug with iOS6 and Exchange: [link]

Man, we're getting hit on both sides, where the app we support doesn't work with iOS 6 or IE 10, but that's for the field. We've only recently told them there was any browser in the world other than IE 6. But internally? Bet your damn skippy a bunch of people were on iOS 6 as soon as they could be. The IT department isn't entirely sure Androids are secure, so getting company email on an iPhone is a walk in a park, and you have to pout and bat your eyelashes (and spend $20 of your own money) to get company email on an Android device (I got turned down when I brought them my third). I can only hope that the Windows thing is a lock for those #8 users.
Does anyone have a recommendation for an alarm clock program? iOS or Android? Now that my Chumby has gone to the lands beyond the seas of Ether, I need something reliable to wake me up. I've been randomly downloading stuff to my Touchpad and Android tablet, but not precisely there yet, I guess.
I want an app that makes the screen a dimmable digital clock, has a wide range of wakeup noises (being able to add or play music would be great), and lets you do ridiculously granular alarms--I'd like to wake up at a different time on Tuesday from Monday. That sort of crazy shit. I can't believe my iPod only just now occurred to me...
