    Battery powered USB hubs.

    Does such a thing exist? I need a hub to power a couple of MIDI devices along with my Serato Scratch Live box (which needs a dedicated USB port). Keeping latency down is huge as I dont want any delay when triggering commands within the software I'm using. An unpowered one might be ok but I...

    New Blackberry Torch 9800

    This seems to have slipped under the radar a bit http://crackberry.com/blackberry-torch-9800-first-impressions Looks interesting, but not enough to tempt me away from iPhone 4!

    Trackpad or Magic Mouse for my MBP?

    I realise the mouse seems like the obvious choice as the MBP already has a trackpad but I'm going to start using my MPB in clamshell mode with an external screen and can't decide which to go for! The multitouch on the mouse seems pretty limited and I think the separate trackpad might be bigger...

    Insurance on PAYG or sim only contracts?

    Does it exist? Either through the carrier or a 3rd party? Popped into the orange shop yesterday and the guy said I couldn't get it! I want to go with one of those options rather than an 18 monther seeing as how the iPhone will be updating every 12 months. But I don't fancy having a £500 phone...

    Streaming from Mac with Connect 360

    Anybody doing this? I just tried the demo and it was really easy to set up but for some reason some of the file names are mixed up. For example, Song 1 is listed in the 360 browser, but when I play it it actually plays audio from song 2. Also, does this require all media to be in the...

    Data recovery software. Freeware?

    Sooo... Loving the Mac but have found another pretty stupid thing within the OS. Was copying some folders over to my external and one of the folders had the same name as another. When I copied it over it asked if I wanted to replace said folder on the external. I clicked yes, but it turns...

    External monitor problems.

    Just got my MDP to HDMI adapter and plugged it in. The screen has been recognised no problems but it looks awful, really grainy and dull. It's an LG full HD 22" monitor that I previously had hooked up to my windows laptop via VGA and it looked clear as day, really crisp picture and vivid...

    Will mini displayport to HDMI adapter work with sound...

    On my 2010 13" MBP? I've seen various sites saying that audio will be outputted on the 2010 models but I'm not sure if this is on the 13" as well as the i5/i7? If it's just a change to the display port itself then hopefully it'll work but I won't receive it for a few days so can't find...

    Which FW HDD are you using?

    After some extra storage. I keep my 100gb music library on the MBPs internal disk as I use the computer for DJing and would rather not rely on external drives for this purpose. But I don't want to clog it up with videos. Really like the look of the g-techs...

    OpenOffice Aqua or NeoOffice?

    Which should I get for my new MBP and why? OpenOffice seems to be much more popular as it's multi-platform but then I've read that NeoOffice only supports OS X, so it's more specialised and streamlined for this platform. However the threads I read that compared them were all quite old and...

    Mmmmmmmmmmmm...

    Joined the elite today! £920 with applecare, 8gb ipod touch and the 13" entry MBP. Student discount FTW! The staff in Apple stores are generally tossers though. They think they're amazing when in fact they were all fat, ugly, spotty nerds. I had to wipe the grease off the box when she...

    Any consequences to running my laptop charger without a ground connection?

    I was getting loads of interference through my speakers and external monitor due to the ground connection of the charger. As a temporary solution, i took the ground wire out of an extension lead and now plug my laptop into that groundless extension whenever i need to record some audio. All the...

    photoshop favour?

    Could anyone who's savvy with photoshop remove some smoke from a picture for me please. Wanna whack it in a frame for the lady but it was taken in a club and the smoke machine must have just gone off! It's not mega bad but it's made the colours a lot less vibrant too. Any help would be muchos...

    I want an application that can sync all my music from my main external drive to my backup external drive whenever i decide to plug it in. At the moment i've been copy/pasting the music folder over to make sure everything's in there but am after a better solution that will do it automatically...

    Some key points from Mr Jobs...

    On Google: We did not enter the search business, Jobs said. They entered the phone business. Make no mistake they want to kill the iPhone. We won’t let them, he says. Apple does not support Flash because it is so buggy, he says. Whenever a Mac crashes more often than not it’s because of Flash...

    Serious Sam HD - XBL Arcade

    Just noticed this available for download on the live marketplace, just downloading the demo to check it out. Did anyone play it back in the day? I never got round to it but heard it was good for a laugh! May purchase if the demo's any good. Getting bored of COD but want something that's...

    Windows explorer keeps crashing when opening external HDD

    Could it be to do with the size of the folder? My video folder is 350gb according to the properties tab and every time i open it i get the message "windows explorer has stopped working" and then it restarts. My backup of this folder on another drive is 335gb and this doesn't happen. I have...

    How much if a limiting factor is the BB Curve's lack of 3G?

    Just about to upgrade and am torn between the Bold and the Curve. The camera's no big deal so the only difference really are the looks and the net. I prefer the look of the curve, but the lack of 3G is putting me off and seems a bit antiquated. Has anybody had these side by side and compared...

    Anyone tried the Omnia HD i8910 yet?

    There doesn't seem to be a great deal of reviews around so just trying to find out a bit more. Orange just offered me 400 mins, unlimted texts and 80mb web usage for £20pm. I have to pay £130 for the phone but will barter them down as they offered me that without any haggling. Was gonna go...

    Who lets iTunes organise their music?

    I'm tempted to make the switch and just let iTunes deal with everything instead of organising my stuff separately. At the moment i have genre/artist/album/xxx.mp3 If i point itunes towards my music directory and select 'keep my folder organised' will it completely restructure everything into...

    Can't open folders on my external hard drive...

    For some reason my folders are showing up as small 32kb files and will not open. The data must still be on the drive as it still shows as having 50gb left, the same as it did before the problem. If i double click on the file it comes up with the 'open with' box and gives me a list of programs to...
