waves at technophiles
Hello, clever peoples!
I have two questions to put to your mighty tech hivemind:
1) So if a person wanted to ahem mp3s from the internets onto her mac, how should she go about it?
2) Is it worth buying an iPhone? I'm tempted, because they're soooo shiny, but I suspect that I'm being foolish. Thoughts? Alternative suggestions? (Really, I want a phone to be a phone, a camera maybe, an MP3 player, and to look pretty. And I want the internet, but really should probably not be trusted with it, because I have NO self restraint...)
Fay, you absolutely NEED an iPhone.
I updated last night and had no problems. Even installed a few new (free) apps. Looks pretty cool!
I've updated my Touch but haven't had time to install any apps. Anyone want to recommend a few?
CityTransit isn't great, but it's still necessary.
Remote is awesome.
There's a free app to look up movies and their show times, which will also give you their Rotten Tomato rating. You do have to be able to connect to the interweebs to use it, though, so it's only relatively useful for iTouch-havers like me.
Where? which is a location-based lookup also looks cool, but once again the connectivity requirement gives me little joy.
You know what I really want? Some kind of Graphiti interface which will let me use the simplified alphabet from the Palm in place of the typewriter with the letters far too close together.
is there a word/excel type of app for the iPhone? I couldn't find any, but eyes are a bit tired.
Apparently Dell is jumping on the tiny, very cheap Linux laptop bandwagon: $299 Dell E overshadows laptop cacophony with possible August release
Also,
Meanwhile, Dell throws down another pricing gauntlet, adding the option of choosing a 128GB solid-state drive (SSD) for most of its laptop lines. The company’s slipping the quick, energy-sipping SSDs into its Latitude, XPS, Alienware, and Precision notebooks. The big news: Dell will only charge $600 more than the price of a notebook with an old-timey spinning disk inside, undercutting the entire industry in one swoop. You go, Dell!
Is that like a giant flash drive?
I just got an email that Comcast has been hacked - what's the name of the website where I can see if this is true?
Because I did online customer service in which I gave out my account number etc. But not my credit card number. Do I need to worry?
