That Tablo looks pretty nice! I used to want an OTA DVR, and there was nothing affordable, decent, and easy out there, and I eventually realized I wouldn't use it anyway (Hulu Plus has basically everything I ever want barring CBS shows, and for those I can survive with the website). Still, that looks WAY better than anything I saw back when researching it.

Okay, so I got my new Note 4. It is a very nice device - definitely more premium feeling than other Samsung phones and the multitasking features are pretty awesome. The pen is nicer than before too though I don't think I will use any of the new features -it will remain a paper grading took for me. But oh. My. God. The screen. I was already a big Samsung oled fan from the note 2 but this thing is astonishing, with its ridonculous resolution. I keep zooming out on web pages to see how small I can make the text and keep it readable and it is shockingly far. In fact I have this zoomed out all the way right now and can read the text just fine. For reference, that means this entire entry box is Approximately paperclip sized and when the phone is normal phone distance away (maybe 10 inches) I can read every letter. In my ereader program I have it zoomed out to fit as many words as fit on a mass market paperback with pretty small font, and it is still pleasantly readable.

People who own Retina MacBook Pros--what screen resolution do you use?

I use the setting that produces the smallest text, as the other settings make the text seem freakishly large. Even though it says using a scaled resolution "may affect performance."

I use "best for display" most of the time, and "most space" when I am programming and need the extra real estate.

I seem to have picked up a weird virus on Firefox on my PC. On certain websites (e.g. this one, other relatively simple ones), but not others (google, ebay, other more complex ones), the following is showing up immediatey after the HEAD tag:

<script src="http://d.watchzombieinvasion.com/l/load.js"></script>

I first noticed it because a bubble-shaped div was appearing at the top of one of my websites, advertising a zombie game. The div disappeared on reload.

I did open firefox in safe mode, where all extensions and plug-ins are disabled, but the script is still showing up when I view the page source!

I'm running a virus scan right now. Any other thoughts on where to look for this annoyance?

Zombie Invasion malware removal: [link]

Thanks, amych. I ran malwarebytes and it found a bunch of Zombie Invasion stuff that it quarantined. I also needed to clear my browser's cache. The invasion appears to have been staved off!

A while ago I asked about Wordpress and why it was taking so @#$#@!!!!! long to do the create/restore backup. askye kindly responded (it was askye, wasn't it? if not, apologies ... I'm having disc space problems). I brought it up with the powers that be and it turns out it's because of something the vendor (oh so kindly) instituted so that we'd always have a mirror of the entire site ... in case it crashed. Obviously, they don't have a back-up system ... so it looks like I'm condemned to waiting 15 minutes (!!!!!) every time I publish a page.

Damn them.

Is there any way I can add "send by bluetooth" to my finder context menu. Or Pathfinder? I find finding the BT sending irritating when you take the rest of my workflow into consideration.

eta: I see in Path Finder where I can find any menu option--it's just very far away...

This is driving me nuts.

Somehow Andi's iPad 2 got it into its head that Andi wanted to use Google calendar for some things, Yahoo calendar for others, and iCloud calendar for more.

I have managed to turn off Google calendar in the iOS prefs, and set iCloud as primary. I would like to move or copy over those events in Yahoo calendar and merge them into the iCloud Calendar.

I can go to Yahoo and export her events to an ICS file, but I can't seem to find any way to upload them.

The major barrier is that newer versions of OSX are beyond the capabilities of my PowerPC machines, so I cannot run iCal or Calendar on OSX with a new enough version to sync.

I even created an outlook.com account for her, and imported into it, just to see if there was a way to sync. I'm still not sure.

Now, I do have a newer Windows 7 machine, but I can't see a way to sync that, either...and I have not succeeded in creating a hackintosh, yet.

Any suggestions, barring getting a new Mac for now?
