Hey. New board.

How can I tell iPhoto to stop opening every time I plug in my iPhone?

I figured this out at some point... I believe it's a setting in Image Capture, for what happens when you plug in a digital camera.

Unfortunately, changing the setting will also keep iPhoto from opening when you plug in a REAL camera. If you want to fix that, you can follow this fairly complicated-looking tip: [link]

Aha! I should have guessed an iPhoto setting would be located in a completely separate application.

I have no problem opening iPhoto manually if I *want* it to capture photos.

Shorter version question, drawing on your ebay knowledge. I have not shopped ebay before - so, if you wanted the item would bid on it from this seller?

How high are my odds of ending up with a non-working or damaged laptop? HOw good is ebay about geting me my money back in case of such an instance?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Well, the seller has a pretty good feedback rating, but hasn't really sold in several months. I wonder what that's about?

if you pay with paypal, you should be able to get your $$ back if you aren't happy with the product, same with ebay.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

With a 100% feedback rating and that many transactions, I wouldn't be too worried. If you want to be really sure, you could ask the seller a question and confirm that everything's in working order.

Anyone have recommendations for a cheap or open-source DVD/CD burning software? I have an .avi file I want to author a VCD or DVD with (just burning a data cd didn't work), and I don't feel like spending $60 on Nero.

Any suggestions?

I don't know, but I'm interested in what you find out, because I need it too!

Trust my rage

Perhaps everyone else knows this already, but I just discovered that there is now an iPhone app that allows you to listen to a public radio station. Actually, the one I found is just the public radio station I grew up listening to (Minnesota), but it's a pretty good one.

Stephanie, do you remember the name?

I have the Pandora app installed and I love it, but getting NPR would be pretty awesome.
