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

Does anyone know of webmail hosting services? If I have a domain that I'd like to just use email on and provide email addresses to other people, is there anything optimised for that? Or would it just be the lowest traditional tier of hosting and introduce people to the joys of SquirrelMail or Round Cube or whatever?

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

It means I don't have to pay an extra $40.00 for 1Password on OS X and iOS.

ita,

you don't want to use google apps for domain? that's what I did for the one domain I own.

I have never considered that, due to ignorance on my part. Let me go read up on it. Could be perfect!

ita,

if you have questions that I can answer (some of your questions are so far above my head I think I'd need to call a sherpa), I'm happy to. I don't still use it because I no longer need it, but it worked really well for me for the 1-2 years I did.

iTunes: keeps crashing on me/becomes unresponsive about every two days or so. Is this a deliberate bug because I refuse the updates to it or to my iPhone whenever I charge via laptop? (Because, seriously, the updates are ridiculous).

you need to update itunes if your machine can handle it. it is a PITA, but you should do it.

same with your iphone. You can do updates OTA with the phone.

I've been dreading the updates for the iPhone. But the latest seems to be rather stable, and all working as it should. And now they announce iOS-7. ::sigh:: YRMV. I have the iPhone 4 (no s). I'd say go for the update.

I don't think I have the latest version of iTunes, maybe one update behind. And one thing I found much improved was the sync feature. Specifically, the books section. If you have a windows machine, I would suggest turning OFF the sync devices via wi-fi. For my single core machine, every time I opened iTunes, it would start searching for the iPad and iPhone, and just SLAM the processor. Constantly. Wasn't worth it. Poor little laptop never ran it's fan so much in it's life. Took me several months to figure out the culprit. Not sure if that feature behaves better on mac machines.

omnis,

I think you can turn off the search for the iphone/ipad.
