'Safe'
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!
Given the things our fucking phones can do....is it really that challenging?
You might be surprised. I haven't dug into the conflict resolution code personally, but I'd imagine it's pretty hairy stuff. DVR (or at least Set-top-box which is more my area) hardware is also pretty low-spec stuff to keep costs contained.
Where does the bulk of the spend come from in building a DVR?
I'm not sure. I'm not involved on the hardware side of things, but I know there aren't a lot of memory and compute resources.
We can get men on the moon with the computing power of a calculator but can't have a dvr realize that The Colbert Report reairs a lot?
Mine already looks for shows across multiple channels and times. Actually I think this TimeWarner box doesn't. Comcast did though.
I'm fed up with iPad Calendar app not working right. What apps do folks use for calendar that isn't the Apple one? I have iCloud calendars and Exchange calendars that I need sync'd.
Agenda is my fave cal for the ipad.
But I use google calendar for all my calendar needs.
it has great potential. But says "by using the local IOS calendar app". So I sent a note to the developer asking, if I am having issues with sync with my local iOS app, will I have issues with your app too? We shall see! Thanks for the rec!
Anyone want to help me figure out which Kindle I want to get? I've finally decided that having something slightly larger than my iPhone, but smaller than the iPad (so I can put it in my purse and have all the books with me) is a necessity.
I don't care about multimedia capabilities, which is why I'm not looking at the Fire. But I don't know if I want the basic Kindle, or a Paperwhite.
Paperwhite! I got one and it is fantastic, it has great contrast in daylight, total darkness, and everything in-between.
I also love my paperwhite!
