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 still running iOs 5-- I didn't install the update because I had heard it would effect the google maps/bus schedule thing, and I use that all the time.
I seem to have fixed it (in that now I am not receiving my bosses invitations in the calendar, just as an email which I cannot respond to), by switching from push notifications to checking every 15 minutes. It isn't ideal, because it means I can't manage my bosses' calendars via iphone, but at least it seems to mean that I can manage my own!
Sophia, you know google maps has an app now, right? All functionality returned if you use that app.
Oh great! Maybe I will upgrade-- although I hope it won't break the thing that is fixing my calendar!
I'm a pretty big fan of Google Maps. One, it let me update the OS. But, even better, it quietly and quickly recalculates on the fly plus it knows where I am even in big parking lots. That is way handier than I'd have thought before using it.
The google maps app is very good but be aware that the apple map is the only map you can set for default without jail breaking. So when you click on addresses from texts or email or contacts, eg, it opens the apple maps.
I have gotten really good at copy and paste for that reason.
Kingston Unveils 1TB USB Flash Drive
Kingston has announced the DataTraveler HyperX Predator, a USB 3.0 flash drive with an impressive 1 terabyte capacity. The drive is expected to go on sale later this year, meanwhile a 512GB version is available now with a list price of $1,750.
I would roll my eyes, but ND would find it useful. I must remember my requirements are fairly pedestrian compared to people working in multimedia.
I just want a 200-300 GB flash drive.
When the price comes down I will certainly get a few.
I'm doing a film shoot right now where I will be handing off a few 2 TB drives to the editors at the end. 24 tracks of 24 bit 48k audio eats up HD space quickly.
