I have a career in software intended to manage office buildings and I still prefer to deal with four remotes on the table. I do have a friend that took the time to set one of these up and maintain it. The task based things like watch tv where it sets up the components to do that task are very...

Even on a model line like my work dell latitudes they aren't in the same place year to year or model to model.

Literally burnt. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1233942 Merc will love it.

Worst company in america polls now open. http://consumerist.com/2012/02/keep-those-worst-company-in-america-nominations-coming-1.html

No early contract leaving fee?

Well I'm impressed. I admitted I didn't have a receipt and still got this. Response time was a bit slow and the replacement process looks like it will take a while too though.

Still too much for a piece of sheet metal that was stamped and bent. I have to think mouser could help here.

Not sure why they are slamming it but yes at that size it won't do for one handed operation. Still pocketable. I'd have to see the pentile screen and see how typing works out on this between a tablet and phone size. I bet they sell a lot.

Should this go in the tablet or android thread? http://www.bgr.com/2012/02/13/samsungs-galaxy-note-is-the-most-useless-phone-ive-seen/ http://www.thetechblock.com/articles/2012/samsungs-super-sized-galaxy-note-changed-my-life/ It's kind of big.

If you think that's weird look up pentile pixel displays.

I'll be damned, says 2 years warranty on their site. I know I don't have a receipt anymore but lets see what they say.

Head-Fi forum has a bunch of threads on the cables, some there even make replacement cables for them. Nothing with the integrated button and mic though. These are well north of that price range and have three speakers (low/mid/hi) in each earbud. Though I do generally think the sub say $75...

OK starting to hate my TripleFis Was changing the foamy tip and did the usual twist and pull on it and the earbud split in two. Love the sound but this is not a quality product between this and the cables.

Right, it is fairly low resolution now. I would actually like the android tablets to pick up the 4x3 display size, works better for lots of things. A 4x3 android with this resolution would interest me.

Way long time ago I worked in an auto parts store. We had some fairly rugged keyboards but I am certain they were still a membrane under there, but they also had the full keyboard condom on top to catch all the dust and dirt. That keyboard cover really made an already sucky keyboard worse but it...

From what I gather not denser and they can't read it back faster than current drives as the laser doesn't help there. But anyway it's something as the write is the slowest thing with spinning disks now anyway.

Everyone seems to think it will be the same size and shape. http://www.macrumors.com/2012/02/13/leaked-ipad-3-rear-shell-display-and-dock-connector-cable-matched-together/

Wow sony. http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2012/feb/13/whitney-houston-album-price?CMP=twt_gu

Try locking the channel selection for g and n from auto to some specific channel. First off Lion has some generally agreed on wifi problems, apparently the last one was better and Lion has yet to equal its wifi performance. I see that some people are using the older driver which fixes the...

But you had erector sets and lincoln logs, sharp sheet metal and a whole bag of choking hazards.

On iOS devices f.lux does that but it requires a jailbreak. It really is nice at night though, makes it much easier on the eyes especially in a dim room.

Some blog somewhere mentioned that the whole push for bigger screen phones was because of 4g. Because of the battery life problems with the early chipsets they had to hide a much bigger battery behind and sticking it behind a bigger screen works pretty well. It's sort of a genius coverup if you...

Back in the service I knew a guy like you. During lunch or after work we would kick the crap out of his car before leaving. He had a used car and the entire driver side of it was smashed in, passenger side was perfect. We pretty much all agreed he had anger management issues too.

I just realized I should have stuck this in the new mobile section.

You can only get apps and drivers via the microsoft store or update. This is a bit of a surprise. I'm still not getting why they want to link the tablet and desktop OS when they are clearly going to be such different animals...

I think it made slashdot also. Not sure about boingboing. I don't understand why they get a pass on this being something that should clearly be fixed and is apples problem to control when there was clear absurdity with location data response which really wasn't a big deal and the factory labor...

Here Here and thank you all.

Entertaining but not buying it, pictures or it didn't happen. Frankly on the drive you are lucky to get same size and spindle speed. Matching and coming close on the series wasn't bad for their warehouse guys. No personal experience with hitachi other than my work machines.

Sounds good, I'll give it a go.

Anyone ever use this? Does it molest the source PC in any way I should know about? From what I understand you run it in a running workstation with admin privileges so an encrypted disk shouldn't be a problem, agree? Thinking about taking a machine to virtual but it can't mess up the source...

Just for you. Sounds like they have a couple left in them. http://www.theverge.com/2012/2/8/2784570/nokia-803-symbian-belle-large-sensor-rumor

I didn't even have an idea GbE went that high for real world stuff. Theoretical is what 125MB/s? This is a regular windows share we are talking about?

I'm expecting a little more outrage than this. http://dcurt.is/stealing-your-address-book

Then they get surprised when similar things like path etc does the same. The other thing is these apps are uploading this all in the clear, no security at all.

This stuff surprises me but I guess it shouldn't.

You mean real hardware monitoring like IPMI stuff? Once you have the right hardware there are lots of apps to gather info from that.

I am shocked they didn't have something like this natively years ago. Given all the sandboxing and security on iOS that is. I just thought I never saw or couldn't find the setting. http://www.idownloadblog.com/2012/02/08/contactprivacy/ This in light of all the path and Facebook app news...

Check into 1password for the password recall function. On android i'm not sure how it works but if it can use your native browser and input the passwords in that like it does on mac and windows that helps a lot.

AMOLED. OLED is suposed to be something like 5 years. AMOLED is likely to last longer? Maybe. I would be more concerned with burn in, which is also an unknown for me.

My 9650 got an OTA update to 6.0.0.719. It completed well and actually seemed to improve the lag on the phone. Speed improved to the point where it felt under 5.x.

Hmm, and there is a CM7 for that too.

Closest I have ever seen. I think for legal reasons we will never see anything more than this. There was another one I can't find now that had the slide, home and power buttons do things but otherwise did less than this does in showing websites. http://iphone4simulator.com/ Apple has an ios...

Dropbox is awesome but still a workaround. There was a pretty big bug with ios5 and cleaning out cached application data. Relevant to the above because these apps that were storing things on the device might have the OS come in and delete the info right from under it. Fortunately apple...

That really annoys me, I don't know why mail apps want to hold on to your sent stuff. I always have to go in and make them save sent and drafts to the server. That way it makes it more consistent across multiple devices. But really I haven't had a problem convincing any mail program to do it...

It's really bad. Safari has no download so if you run into say a zip file that link is simply disabled and greyed out. This is one thing that the jailbreak community improves on, adds a download manager and local file storage access, of course you have to jailbreak to get that. But in safari...

1Password is a multiplatform password manager. It works on mac, windows, android and ios devices. It synchronizes the encrypted database via dropbox. It is a bit pricey imo but I desperately needed something to help me out and I decided it needed to be available on everything I own, and this...

IM+ is pretty good for an instant messenger. It is available on about all mobile platforms and handles almost all IM services. I have had some minor run ins with their support for trivial things and they were helpful and it might be a coincidence but shortly after I saw app updates that...

Finished the Battlestar blurry box set. Just as good the second time around. Video quality is questionable, you could get it on DVD and not really be missing anything IMO. Very artificial grainy and black levels had a lot to be desired. I'm not a video snob IMO so when I notice stuff like this...

If you were going to move between two computers a lot you could just leave two authorized. I think you get up to five. I see people on macrumors that leave the iTunes library and media files on a network share which works but you need to be careful about not mounting it twice, iTunes doesn't...
