So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

I can play iTunes, and I hear alerts, but when I try to watch various TV shows/youtube/etc, I get no sound.

Sophia, have you tried restarting? I've had issues with listening to streaming video that were fixed by restarting.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Fancy a $25K Cray on your desk?

Think of supercomputers and you tend to think of multi-million dollar machines that easily take up a football field. With miles and miles of cabling and cooling systems running beneath the floors. That's long been generally true, but not any more.

Supercomputer maker Cray Inc. today announced that it teamed up with Microsoft Corp. and Intel Corp. to produce a desktop supercomputer. That's right. It will sit on a desktop. And maybe just as surprising, it has a starting price of $25,000.

The Cray CX1 supercomputer uses up to eight nodes and 16 Intel Xeon processors -- either dual-core or quad-core. It's the first Cray machine to use Intel processors. The CX1 has up to 4 terabytes of internal storage and 64 gigabytes of memory per node. The machine also comes pre-installed with Windows HPC Server 2008 [or] Linux.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I just sent a feature request to Apple for the iPhone. I'm wondering if others do it too, it might get put in.

I finally pressed the "Emergency Call" button. I feared it dialed 911, so never pushed it. Nope, it just brings up the dial keypad, but no address book.

My suggestion was to somehow allow a mini-address book for I.C.E. numbers (In Case of Emergency). Should something happen to me, I'd love my phone to be of use in contacting the ones I love without having to know the pass code.

is there a photoshop guru out there that can answer some of my stupid trial and error questions?

I can try... I wouldn't claim to be a guru, though.

Not a guru either, but I do spend a lot of time with it. I'd be happy to try too.

well, hell, ginger, I might just suggest that we do a little work before dinner on Friday :)

I do a lot of stuff by trial and error and I've figured out some stuff, but sometimes I'm just baffled.

Sure. Any program that calls sharpening images "unsharp mask" is not particularly intuitive.

If anything stumps the others, I'll be happy to pitch in with PS help, as it's one of my primary tools.
