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 been tasked with finding this cable [link] with black and white conductors instead of black & red. Any ideas on how to conduct that search? Usually cable descriptions only include the jacket color, not the conductors. Audio peeps?

SuziQ, do you two have "Find My Friend" app installed? It's a little "big brothery", but it's handy. Especially in times like this.
No, we don't omnis. In the morning, I'll text it with my phone number and hope someone calls. The phone is locked, so they can't just get in the contacts to find last called or something.
He has a sticker on the back that references deaf students. While he isn't deaf, he takes ASL as his foreign language. Anyway, I'm just hoping it will deter someone from being a thief and be helpful in returning the phone.

Can you read a text on a locked iPhone?
If you have your notifications set to show texts on the locked screen, then yes. And he does.

Thanks, Omnis, but that one doesn't have an outer jacket.
I believe so. It's plenum rated too, iirc.
It's been quite a while since I've seen white and black in a plenum rated speaker or bell wire. I believe most manufacturers have standardized on the red and black combination so that the low voltage characteristics of the unshielded plenum rated wire you linked to can't be confused with a high voltage connection which would have black and white, and then hopefully a green wire.

Hey Kids, I purchased a Logitech c920 webcam to do some vlogging but I'm having some trouble with it. The frame is way too big, zooming trashes the focus and the tracking is slow. Plus, I look _terrible_ in HD (okay, that last one is just me).
Is there a better webcam for a mac mini running 10.8.4?
eta: I should add that I downloaded the Logitech Camera Settings app and changed the zoom to portrait, rather than landscape. The result was super grainy.
I also want to use a webcam for video chat but have not been able to test this yet.

Nope, don't call me. Bomb wiring is entirely dependant on the mad person who built the bomb. Rules? They don't need no stinkin' rules! (Or they wouldn't be building a bomb!)
