Harmony ,'Help'
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 trying to update iTunes for like 45 minutes. That's not normal, right? I downloaded, restarted and now I'm supposed to "wait while Windows configures iTunes," but that's been on for like ten minutes. What to do?
Edit: OK, it finally finished. I guess part of the problem was Norton trying to stop iTunes from doing something online.
Some biological technology...
That South Korean scientist who claimed to have created clones of humans, but turned out to be a fraud? May have achieved human parthenogenesis -- by mistake.
Yeah, I saw that story! Is that irony or WHAT?
Crap. I think I may have gotten a virus on my computer. I think by having an Apple, I'd been lulled into a false sense of security. Any ideas on what to do at this point?
What are the symptoms?
Actual Mac OSX virus infections are still quite rare.
Sophos Anti-Virus has a 30-day free trial [link]
I'm sure there are others.
ETA: Links to virus scanners, etc: [link]
I was getting a virus warning from my ISP. Turns out, though, that my ISP and Apple are having issues, as I discovered from talking to Apple tech support. Feh.
Still, I'll check out those virus scanners. Better safe than sorry. Thanks for the links, Daniel.
Minor gripe with related question:
For years, I have used and loved the ecards on the Apple website. Simple, tasteful...no flash or creepy midi-soundtracks.
Apparently, Apple has become too cool for such trivialities...or I've gone blind. I can't find the cards anywhere and a google search gives me no love.
The popular ecard sites, 123, bluemountain, hallmark...all give me the crawling of the skin.
Any recommendations for alternatives?

Apple hints at .Mac improvements on Tuesday
Which could mean that the iCard service is being retooled right now. Or going away.
