I video chat a fair amount, but I haven't done it that often on a tablet. I've found that the laptop is easier, since I don't have to hold it or prop it up, and I can also surf the web and share my desktop and send links back and forth during the chats, which is a fairly big part of the experience for me.
On the flip side (uh, so to speak), I take a lot of pictures with the tablet. I took vacation pictures with it a month ago (some of which are making it into an online story on the resort), I take "Hey look at this thing I want to show you!" pics that end up emailed/tumblred/etc. And when I take pictures of myself, they're intended to show my clothes, so they're in the mirror with the rear camera anyway.
The touchpad only has a front facing camera, and it's useless to me.
These low-spec tablets are probably not that good to video chat on anyway.
I have a stylus for my tablet/phones, but since it isn't actually key for anything, I haven't used it months. It's not handy, and if I used it more, I'd probably have lost it by now. So if it
were
useful, it would be gone by now.
bonny,
I say: what do you have to lose through arbitration. You may already be out $400, so hopefully you can recover some of that back.
Bonny, I seem to recall guidelines for shipping and packaging to minimize damage. There is minor info at the USPS website: [link]
Cushioning
Place the cushioning all around your item or items. You can use newspaper, “foam peanuts,” or shredded paper. Close and shake the box to see if you have enough cushioning. If you hear items shifting, add more cushioning.
Placing an extra address label with the delivery and return addresses inside the package will ensure that the item can be delivered in case the outside label becomes damaged or falls off.
Mailing Fragile Items
Use foamed plastic or padding to protect your items, placing the cushioning inside hollow items as well. Mark the package “Fragile” or mark “Perishable” on packages that contain food or other items that can spoil. Careful packaging is the best way to safeguard your valuable items against damage.
Although, not official site, this one has good packaging tips: [link]
It's important to properly cushion the contents of your package. Wrap each item separately. Fragile articles need both proper separation from each other and clearance from the corners and sides of the box.
This will prevent against damage and protect the contents from shock and vibration which can pass from the outside of the box to the contents.
Proper cushioning material, combined with a strong outer container, will protect your shipment.
A wide variety of materials can be used for cushioning and protection. These include:
Air encapsulated plastic (bubble pack)
Expanded polystyrene (peanuts) [Note: may not be suitable for heavier products that tend to shift toward the bottom of the package while in transportation.]
Foam-in-place (sprayed into the box to form protective molds around contents)
Corrugated dividers
Paper (crumpled Kraft paper or newspaper)
[Note: Paper is only suitable for lighter products. It tends to flatten when used as cushioning for heavy products.]
Use enough cushioning material to ensure that the contents cannot move easily when you shake the box.
Several inches of cushioning material all the way around should do it.
Talk with the Apple folk, and ask if the damage on the motherboard is from vibration. See if you can get that in writing. That will go a long way in your arbitration.
How do I find full path names of folders in window home premium windows 7. They seem to have eliminated classic view in explore and most of the menu items as well.
How do I find full path names of folders in window home premium windows 7.
If you click on the drop down to the right of the folder names at the top, you should see the full path name.
Change the setting in Control Pannel -> Folders -> View.
Under Advanced Settings, check "Display folder path".
x-posty. But with this method the path always shows.
Microsoft Surface pricing:
Microsoft site leaks early pricing details on Surface tablet | DVICE
Earlier this morning, an eagle-eyed Microsoft watcher discovered a page on the company's online store listing the Surface tablet in several configurations including $499 for the 32-gigabyte model without the Touch Cover, $599 for the 32-gigabyte model with the Touch Cover, and $699 for a 64-gigabyte model with a Touch Cover. In addition to the tablet, the site also listed the device's accessories priced at $119.99 for the Touch Cover and $129.00 for the Type Cover. However, it looks as though that posting was an early leak, because the page has now completely disappeared, and Microsoft has remained mum on any official pricing details for the device.
I was just looking at Surface pricing. It's a secret?

I *really* like that "Type" cover. Does anyone make something like that for the iPad?
