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've done the laying the thing down on a table and tapping; it still doesn't respond. The case is like a book and I'll hold the side with the iPad in it in the palm of my flattened left hand. Fingers of left hand come nowhere near the screen. I use the flat of my finger tips, although my nails will sometimes click on the screen; when it's working, the nails don't seem to cause a problem. I've tried cleaning the screen. A stylus doesn't work at all.
It's a piece of junk; I'll give it one my try with an Apple "genius" - I have an appointment Saturday morning.
I think you need to insist they give you a replacement unit.
Definitely if you are bothering to bring it to GB press hard for replacement unit. Does not sound like there is any other fix, and if won't do it after you press hard, than at least you tried and can write them off as giving you lousy customer service, whatever they may do for others.
HTML question for photo captioning:
When you post a photo to a blog/livejournal, the standard image html (, etc.) places the photo on the left corner of the page, with a substantial blank space left on the right side of the photo if the photo is of a moderate size. If, rather than putting the caption/description of the photo underneath the photo, I want to place the caption on the right side of the photo -- say, around the middle of the blank space, how would I make that happen with html? Uh, I know minimal about coding so simpler would be better.
<img src="" align="right" vspace="10" border="0">
or <img src="" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;">
Oh wait, you mean the caption. You'll need divs:
<div> image here
<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;>
caption here
</div></div>
What are favorite ad and popup blockers these days. Somehow I managed to uninstall all mine on Chrome and I don't remember what I used.
I just use the AdBlock extension to Chrome.
Ghostery is also useful for blocking trackers.
My essential extensions (Firefox and Chrome) are:
AdBlock - everybody knows what that is
Ghostery - tracker blocking
Lazarus - saves text box input so you don't have to retype if a post fails or you accidentally delete it before posting.
LastPass - Password management
And gmail stuff.
Ghostery was slowing down my load times
