Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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!
Android is here! T-Mobile G1, aka First 'Googlephone,' Carries High Expectations
But it is not just about the hardware. The phone's user interface and its integration with applications are expected to make all the difference.
G1 will have tight integration with Google apps, especially the company's popular services such as Gmail, calendar and instant messaging, says Gartenberg. "So if you are a Google user, this device will fit right into your tech ecosystem," he says.
So I had a Firefox add-on that let me open a window-in-window for links, rather than having to open a new tab or window. I upgraded Firefox without spending time on upgrading add-ons at the same time, and now I can't recall what that one was called. Help?
Ooh! Also, what was the one that lets you undo closing a tab?
brenda, I believe that's a function of firefox 3. Just go to History and "recently closed tabs" and you can select the one you want.
Although I love Duplicate Tab which allows me to merge tabs/windows and move a tab to a new window.
lori, can't help you with that one.

Or you can just right-click on the tab bar and then select "Undo close tab." (That'll re-open the last one closed....)
Does this seem like a good deal?

Also, since I've been living in dial-up land so long, I have no idea what I need in terms of connectivity. I am finally going to upgrade to highspeed DSL, but I would also like to network my TiVo with my computer. (The Wireless TiVo thingy came free with TiVo purchase) So if I buy a computer with integrated WiFi, I also need a router, right? (Seriously, I know nothing.) Do I really need intergrated WiFi?
Yes you will need a router, it's a good idea just for the sake of security. The computer doesn't need WiFi if you can plug it into the router with a cable, wireless and wired will all be on the same network.
The computer seems like a pretty reasonable price to me, but I haven't been shopping anytime recently.
Yes, you need a router. I think that integrated wifi just means that the mechanism is part of the computer as opposed to a card that you plug in to a slot. It's worth it to not have to be bothered with the card sticking out, IMHO
Thanks guys.
