Does anyone have any idea how secure an iPhone wireless connection is? Assuming that you're not using an open wireless connection, is it safe to do private transactions like banking? I mean, I'm thinking that it's no different from me using my secure wireless network in my house, but I thought I'd check.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

I wouldn't bank over an iPhone, but I have no idea how rooted in reality that paranoia is.
ION, does anyone know if there's a PPC-supported version of Chrome for OSX yet? Crossover Chromium is Intel-only and Google's still dragging their heels.

I doubt there ever will be. It would have to have a PPC version of their V8 JavaScript engine. Right now it only supports Intel and ARM.

Theo - thanks!
Now I'm in search of a freeware app that will let me pull some photos off my ipod. I haven't yet resorted to paying for an app that will do that, but might eventually.

Lori, did you search at Versiontracker.com? Links to and user reviews of all kinds of software/freeware/shareware, etc. for the Mac (and, IIRC, other systems): [link]

Thrive to spite them
I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop running Vista, it's over a year old.
I turned it on this afternoon and it was fine, then I went to click on something and download something and the screen sort of winked and then everything was black and white. All of it. I restarted and the same thing.
I have a LCD monitor hooked up and the color is fine there. But there's no color (just black and white and shades of gray) on the screen of the laptop.
Any suggestions ? Is this bad?
