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 don't get why she can't use a phone?
I think you might be forgetting where my sister lives. "A phone" to a Jamaican isn't really the same sort of solution you might be thinking of. She has an old Blackberry that's been repaired multiple times, and an early iPod Touch whose screen longer really senses touch, due to the web of cracks through it.
Even so, recording hour, half-hour sessions of patient information with a gorilla pod that she'd be shopping for right now like she's shopping for a mount or dedicated camera would have to go on a chair she can't work into the room's layout.
Anyone have a recommendation for a scanner? Primary purpose right now is for photos, but I'd like one that can kind of handle everything.
I don't know what 2013 has brought the line, but my Epson V600 Photo is markedly better than either of my previous scanners at handling colour balance and pencil drawings. It also scans slides and negatives. The scanner software is a bit--obstinate, but it's nothing major.
I have the Epson V700 Photo that I like a lot.
This Canon has worked well for me: [link]
So I just moved from Google Reader to the paid subscription service Feedbin. So far, it seems like it does a pretty good job of duplicating Reader's functionality.
I use the Fujitsu ScanSnap at work and at home. I mostly scan documents but I think it would work well for photos as well.
Sooo...I feel weird about Yahoo buying Astrid.
Right? She was so good on Fringe too.
