We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
My Airbook bricked last week and is off being repaired, for another data point. It was freezing and crashing; it is quite possible that I was overusing the disk and memory.
Who's got a voice to text app they like for iPhone 4? I need something that doesn't use wifi, which I understand Dragon does. Bonus points for integrating into Evernote, though.

What photo management tools do people use? I need something that will scan all my various places with .jpgs and can compare for duplicates and then do file management.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, I am clearly the only person in this world that can't make a NAS work. Neither of my units will talk AFP right now, so no backup. The new one is brilliant at DLNA, though. Converts everything perfectly for the TV, and I can rewind and fast forward.
BUT I NEED TO BE ABLE TO BACK UP REGULARLY.
I have been told that if I get a QNAP unit it's all I'll ever need. I need to stop buying fucking NASes.
And for this to happen when the spare terabyte on the desktop is failing...I can't even back up the programs installed on it....I fucking hate computers. Plus I need the laptop backed up so I can take it in to get fixed.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Microsoft Office for the iPhone. Seriously.

Hey. New board.
I have to say I'm a pretty big fan of Office 365 and Sky drive and prefer it to Google docs/drive in many ways. I would be happy if it caught on and this is a step in the right direction.

Coding and Sleeping
I'm pretty impressed by Word on Sky Drive. Except, last time I tried it, it didn't support inserting page breaks. I mean, what the hell?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ever since I caved and subscribed to Office 365, I can't imagine going back to Google docs. It's good for a free product in a pinch, but it just doesn't do half the stuff Actual Office does.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Why would you optimize for the phone and not the damn tablet? Grr
