I particularly enjoyed the fact that google have just made themselves look like complete c***s by trying to steal apples thunder, if you're going to try that you'd better make sure that what you're offering is better than the opposition.

What is the heart light doing on the front of the box? It should be steady green. If its flashing, phone virgin. They use a separate Internet connection to your broadband.

Because iOS has no system wide documents folder, everything lives in a sandbox. eBay should really update their app to support uploading of photos to that category. Safari won't work because of the aforementioned lack of system wide documents folder and therefore no support for file uploads or...

What Tom said. Not possible, remember that Android is a generic term. At it's highest level there is mostly compatibility between different flavours of the same version, but because Google were dumb, they didn't lock it down anywhere near as much as they should - so you get fragmentation. At...

Re: iPhone 5 this October?? No need really, you're not likely to want to hook up PC peripherals to it and it's been displayport on the iPhone dock connector for a while now anyway.

Re: iPhone 5 this October?? It sure looks micro usb sized. However, unless they deprecate line in/line out in favour of bluetooth and video in favour of airplay then it's more likely that it's just a shrunk dock connector with all the historical (iPod 1) crud removed.

Bit of an oddball question this one and I figured somebody here might be able to help. Basically, I have a piece of software which I have written which is being used by councils. All these councils seem to have some sort of microsoft proxy system which uses NTLM (v2) to authenticate the users...

The SOC (processor, GPU combo) is covered by an NDA. The people behind raspberry pi work for Broadcom who make the SOC. Because its covered by NDA, all the interesting parts of it are in binary form, no source code. So without reverse engineering or somebody having access to the required...

That £5 goodybag doesn't include data.

Ahh...but it's s**t for XMBC, once it's having to deal with content that the hardware can't decode in hardware, it all starts breaking down. I'm not even talking about video, even if you have the video in say h264 (which is hardware accelerated) but it's in the wrong container type, then the...

Personally I'd find an AppleTV2 on ebay and get that instead, it'll be far more capable for video playback and will have a remote etc.

You can't.

Yes, the jtag people. When you go to download the the latest firmware there's a button which says something like "I don't want to enter my serial number", this then takes you to a page which says don't download if your device looks like "pictures of a crap load of clones"! The chinese ripped...

I eventually made it into the office this morning and on my desk waiting for ne was the pi. On the train on my way home now, will power it up this evening if I get the chance. (wife probably won't be too chuffed. I'll tell her it'll improve her p**n viewing or something!)

Sounds a bit excessive (paranoid). If china want to make a copy, they'll be on shelves almost as quickly as you can get the real product there. Go ask segger.

Clearing browsing history and cookies? When you want to download p**n, simply turn on "private browsing". Job done.

My original order. I just looked at the confirmation email, it went through at 7:05 on the day orders opened.

UPS tried to deliver yesterday but after working hours, so nobody there. It was being redelivered today, but I'm not in the office this week and I am away on business the following week, so won't get my hands on it for a while.

About 8am I managed to get my order through at farnell.

Mine shipped yesterday. Hoping it arrives when I'm in the office, otherwise I'll have to grab it the following week.

Both problems were completely avoidable as well. EMC would have taken a day and having somebody in china to verify that the end product was manufactured to spec would have taken a design engineer a couple of hours max.

It has nothing to do with whether it's cased, the requirement for CE marking is the responsibility of the end manufacturer. There aren't technically any exceptions, but development boards generally tend to get away without certification because they're not intended for an "end use". The moment...

Poorly is an understatement! They should have done the emc testing on it though, the fact that they pushed xbmc before release meant that they were always going to be selling to end users. Given the legal ramifications (to them) it was unbelievable that they didn't do it, especially as it...

portmon used to be the normal way of doing it, but it doesn't work with later versions of windows or USB serial ports. Are you just after capturing data or do you need other information? (i.e control signals?) Edit: When I want to capture serial traffic I normally just use a mac running...

Heh. Didn't realise that either, with the hot corners enabled and without actions the menu bar doesn't appear, but the cursor changes and then you can go to the top of the screen and the menu bar appears. Escape or click to get out of it without selecting an action from the menu. Good stuff.

Yeah, that looks beautiful, but like you say it's a very specific type of content that is unlikely to generate a lot of organic link-ins and such like. Next week will be interesting as we'll get to see what people are up to in our particular market.

Yes. This was an irritation for me too. Virtual Machine/Configure/Full Screen Enable active corners and set the action on all of them to nothing. Now it will behave exactly how you want. To access the menu bar you'll need to swipe out of the space and then right click on parallels in the...

Thanks for the replies guys, food for thought. Danny, I did the site in TextMate on the mac by hand. I'm not a designer and certaintely not a graphics artist but we're visiting a show next week and thought we'd better get something up so that we can refer people to it so that they can get a...

if you're just after password protection and have access to a mac then.... 1.) Open PDF in Preview. 2.) Export PDF, select encrypt and enter the password. 3.) Profit.

I've just done a small website to promote some of our products, I'm not a web designer (I'm a software engineer) so don't really know the tricks of how to optimise the content for search engines. Has anybody got any recommendations on methods of SEO? Do these companies that offer SEO (probably...
