Yeah... That went well.

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

serial: I know that if you flip over to other apps Waze will keep giving audio directions, as evinced by my confusion during phone calls.

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

The new release of OS X is free!

The new MacPros are $3K.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The new MacPros are $3K.

Sure, but they come with a free copy of the OS.

Not named after cats anymore.

Also, tags.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Not named after cats anymore.

I'm sad there never was an OS X Sphynx. Or OS X Hairless Cat.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I recently bought this bluetooth headset and so far I haven't been able to get any of the buttons on the device to work.

It says it's paired with my iPhone (4, running iOS 7) and it does transmit audio, but the play/pause, volume, ff/rw buttons are totally non-functional.

This is the first bluetooth headset I've had on iOS (my last was with my Treo) - is this sort of thing a common problem? Or do I just have a dud unit?

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

I overheard tech support at work trying to talk someone through setting their iPhone up as the mike/speakers for their laptop, so they could speak into it while using the software phone.

Has anyone heard of that? Is it doable?

Jessica, I have a bluetooth Jawbone and use it with my iPhone (5, running iOS 7) and haven't had a problem. But I don't have any fancy buttons either.

Jessica, did you install the drivers for your HBS-730? Maybe that's what makes the buttons work.

eta: Drivers are needed for Android. So far I haven't seen that they're needed for iOS.

I don't even know where I'd begin to do that - I've never had to install driver in iOS before.
