The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So I may have to come back in and flail if I do buy it?

hip deep in pie

Has anyone had the touch wheel on their iPod fail? I have 20G photo iPod, and it is acting very strange, and I can't figure out if it's a short somewhere or if this is fixable. First it started out that the wheel seem to have shifted a bit, so I had to click just to the left of menu to navigate the menus and just to the right of the play/pause area to get that to work. Now those areas are responding when I click only every few clicks, and all other times I am advancing the much forwards or backwards. Today I also managed to get the iPod playing in fast forward and couldn't get it to stop for quite a while. Now the centre button is not responding everytime I click it.

Has anyone had any experience with this, or heard if this is a known thing? I've tried googling variations on click wheel problems and touch wheel problems and I haven't found anything.

Lee, that's the wireless adapter I have and it talks to my Airports just fine.

Oh yay! Okay, I will go buy it now, and then come back and flail at you when I need to set it up.

Our wings are not tired

Does anyone have their Tivo hooked up to a Mac/Airport wireless network ? If so, what network adapter do you use? I was thinking of the one at the top of this page , but really that's just because it was easy to find.

I have two Tivos with those adapters and they have talked to both the 802.11g Airport station and my current 802.11n. They also work fine with the 802.11g Linksys in the house.

Is there a way to view whitefont on the iPhone?

Not that I've figured out.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

At last, something that the iPhone can't do!

Not that I'm jealous or anything. And I did get to play with one at the Apple Store last week and was filled with technolust such as I've not felt in a long long time. But I shall be strong, and unemployed to boot.

If I buy an iPhone, will the wonderfulness get me a job?

not your mom's socks.

oh hivemind with the 1s and 0s... I am looking for a good (affordable-to-cheap/free) way to brainstorm and plan online with a farflung (and somewhat high-maintenance) group. Asynchronous is preferred. I've been given an extra project - develop a 3-year strategic plan with 50+ community members from around the country. Lots of ideas will be generated. But no new staff to take the extra work. Whee. Still, online planning is much preferred over 7:30pm town-hall meetings every three weeks. I would be so grateful for the help.

am iphone jealous. even with the whitefont oversight.

FWIW, I understand GTalk has added conferencing -- you'd all be on the same IM chat, if typed conversation is what you like. For cheap voice, I dunno.
