    Something nice to say about AT&T, I just unlocked my iPhone 4S with them for free. I bought it on ebay and have no idea if it has a subsidized contract against it or not.

    Wireless Headphones

    Yes, blutetooth does seem to have a highly significant delay. My blurry player, previous tv, stereo and projector (I think) all have lip sync correction. Annoying to switch it between headphones or not but you could do it likely with the equipment you already have. Could even automate it with...

    The point here is they have a rule and the simple minds have no ability to interpret the meaning of the rule. This is why you can't take a nearly empty tube of toothpaste in carry on luggage. The tube says it is six ounces which is clearly over the limit of 3 or 4 (whatever it is), It doesn't...

    When I list an ebay character reference for something I am selling they throw a fit. I got them to allow a link straight to my ebay "feedback" page but they won't allow linking to the "my world" page or straight to any products obviously which was the original intent of the rule. There was an...

    I'm sort of taking a tour and there are none I've met yet that I flat out didn't like. I just worked through a Glenlivet 12 year and it was quite different experience, someone else mentioned peaty and I don't disagree with that. Anyway I don't do the whole bar scene either, just private...

    UPS is very reliable for me but I suspect they had a route change. They used to deliver every day around three, Now it's every day around six.

    Something Random

    UPS is really annoying me lately, constantly delivering around 6PM or later. Just had a super annoying brick wall talk with the call center that they deliver to all homes 9-7PM though in my experience it can be later than that even. Doesn't matter if you declare it as a home office they don't...

    question How do people buy music these days?

    Right, they use webkit and develop a little here and there and are compelled by the license agreement to post it so they do. There has been grumbling from watchdog organizations that they don't always post it quickly enough or at all, they have been known to skip versions. Last I am aware of was...

    question How do people buy music these days?

    I was wrong, AAC files aren't lossless. But the 256 versions are effectively above the range where I can tell. Apple open source lossless is ALAC http://alac.macosforge.org/

    question How do people buy music these days?

    I like to purchase disks also. Last couple NIN albums or works were available in very high quality online too, you have to look around but I do like the direct methods. But recently I have started buying in iTunes. The files they give you are 256kbps AAC lossless so I don't feel I am missing...

    Windows Backup Cannot Verify Network Share

    Me too, windows backup won't go to either a time capsule HFS+ or a exFAT volume for apparently similar reasons. If it would simply drop a file on a drive all of this would be resolved.

    Another problem, the free version of arconis to use with the intel ssd I have in the machine does not work. Says it didn't detect windows or something, I'm guessing it is failing the check to see if there is an intel ssd in the machine.

    I do find it strange they made two different models to serve the 4G/LTE market in the US and ignored the rest. I don't even know if they will do LTE in europe when they build that out, they are a bit behind in the rollout but they do have a superior GSM deployment to the US I hear.

    Android phones: Tips, tricks?

    Is that a skin? I have never had one but the more I dig the more people I find that like the basic ICS experience over the sense, touch wiz whatever experiences, for those that actually tried both. I don't like the idea of a skin getting in the way and confusing things anyway.

    Android phones: Tips, tricks?

    So it doesn't appear that it's any better if you just consider tablets? You could debate if it is "fair" to include phones in that list where the carriers are involved, but I don't think the customers care.

    I thought that was your auction and they were sold already. Socket 604 with 533 bus and hyper threading, these seem pretty dated. Every intel CPU has a S Spec # stamped in the heatspreader, posting nothing but that number tells people exactly what you have at least.

    You both have root access on any mac plus a supported way to install the largest competing OS on it. Apple SSD offerings don'e seem to get much love from enthusiasts either and the memory upgrade pricing is outlandish, $200 for 8gb approx while my actual memory was less than $50.

    No idea. They don't care about investing to support existing users? They want to push people to buy new devices? When there is no seemingly good reason lots of bad ones are assumed.
