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!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Thank you Amazon, it was on my doorstep when I got home. Gotta love Amazon Prime!

I downloaded a music video from Youtube for Dylan to put on his iPod, and the damn thing will not sync. Granted, this was not strictly a legal download, but I've done it before without any problems - any ideas?

The "Create iPod version" option is nowhere in sight, but I'm not sure if that's iTunes 11 or if it means this is already compatible. It's a regular H.264 mp4 file, exactly like every other video on this device.

Got it, ARGH. Stupid device.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What was the porn content of Geocities?

Am I misremembering, or did Gmail used to have a "Save to Docs" option for attachments? It seems supremely stupid that I have to download this PDF and re-upload it in order to get it from Gmail to Drive. (There is a Chrome extension for this, but the current release notes say Google disabled it. WTF?)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

If you "View" the attachment you get a button to "Add to Drive"

Where? I've read that a couple of places but I don't see it.

Jessica,

you could use attachments.me extension. I used it, but have used it more sporadically since they are now charging for the service (not a complaint, just a fact on my part).

Or you could get a box.net account and email the attachment to a shared folder.

it seems gmail has changed their options regarding google docs integration.
