    Missed calls.. annoying

    When this happens are you connected to the GPRS data network rather than Edge or 3G? If the phone is using data while connected to GPRS calls will go straight to voicemail, it's a limitation of GPRS, you can only do voice or data - not both at the same time. Remember that the phone will be...

    New MBP's Soon.

    It's already caught on as it's really just PCI express with some fancy external interface technology. Hardware vendors producing PCI express hardware need only to add the thunderbolt interface chip to their existing hardware and boom, it's already supported. No other changes, no extra drivers...

    New MBP's Soon.

    Yep, buying online through the education store online effectively gives you Applecare minus the telephone support for free.

    New version of Mac OS on the horizon???

    Well they've dropped server as being a separate version and are going to bundle the guis into a single version. Still no word on whether or not there will be iPhone support in it.

    New MBP's Soon.

    They don't (ok, third party resellers who may still have stock may give a slight discount). Apple exhaust stock of the current models (barring what they need to keep back for warranty) and the new models simply replace the old ones.

    I will have an iPhone on Wednesday / Thursday

    When you setup your phone, go into the mail app and it will ask you to create an account, select "exchange" rather than the "gmail" option, the exchange option allows you to make use of all the cloud goodness. these are the relevent settings you will need to enter: server: m.google.com domain...

    This. If you're not storing your contacts in "the cloud", you're doing it wrong. Edit: and gmails spam filtering is above awesome.

    I will have an iPhone on Wednesday / Thursday

    You don't need to use the email part of it, you can choose what sync from gmail. Storing your contacts in outlook & using iTunes to sync them is asking for trouble somewhere down the line. The beauty of storing them on gmail is that if you have to replace your phone, you can walk straight out...

    I will have an iPhone on Wednesday / Thursday

    I wouldn't be using outlook for my contacts. Use gmail and then connect your iPhone to gmail with an exchange account, that way all your contacts & calenders (and email if you want) are stored in the cloud.

    Pixelmator

    Aperture and Lightroom are equivalents, aperture and photoshop are not comparable. Pixelmator is a really decent piece of software.

    Apple TV any good?

    ssh into the appletv, use putty under windows or the following terminal command under osx ssh root@ipaddress where ipaddress is the ipaddress of your apple tv, the password is alpine: then: cd /Applications/XBMC.frappliance/XBMCData/XBMCHome/addons wget...

    Best iphone deal

    That isn't traditionally how Apples pricing works. They normally just replace the outgoing model with the new incoming model, maybe a slight change in price, but normally nothing significant. (2010 Mac Mini excepted). That said, this is the first time (with the iPhone 4) we've seen an unlocked...

    Apple TV any good?

    I'm using the unofficial build, I installed it at the weekend after the untethered jailbreak was released.

    Apple TV any good?

    Totally. Without it, it's nothing more than a 20 year old "text mode" file browser. Once you find the library view it becomes completely awesome. I didn't find it before as I was just browsing and didn't add a source, once you add a source you get the option to enable the library view. It's...

    Apple TV any good?

    Huh...now I feel stupid. I hadn't used xmbc since the days when it first came out, back when it was pretty basic. It's only now that you've mentioned "library view" that I realise that it's actually pretty awesome now. Humn, time to play some more....

    Poor Mans iPhone

    Apple make more profit (51%) in the mobile phone industry than all the other mobile phone manufacturers combined. They targetted 10% of the market share in phones shipped as being a target, they're at 4%....which makes the 51% profit even more impressive. People will pay for a premium product...

    iphone 4 battery drain

    Have you restarted it? Usually when this occurs, something in the OS has gone wonky and a reboot will fix it.

    Apple TV any good?

    I'd forgotten how much I actually despise XMBC as an interface..... ...still the iPlayer addon is up and running, not very friendly to navigate (as per XMBC generally), but is functional.

    Apple TV any good?

    works perfectly on our ATV2 untethered as well, held off doing it until there was an untethered jailbreak. You may end up with WiFi issues after jailbreaking, there is a fix for it: http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=722357&postcount=39

    Nokia - Commercial Suicide?

    They had no choice, using android would have presented a massive future problem should google decide to go into mobile phones in a big way, how could you possibly hope to compete with the maintainer of the platform. Ms was the only real option, it presents both companies with a massive...

    MacBook, MacBook pro or just a laptop?

    Oh dear, that sounds more like a hardware issue to me. I'd re-install (purely to take your current installation out of the equation), if it still happens then I'd take it back to Apple and get it swapped out, it really shouldn't be doing that. The machine isn't overly warm when it happens is it?

    MacBook, MacBook pro or just a laptop?

    That is very odd, when you say crashed, what exactly happened? Spinning beach ball? Completely froze? Kernel Panic (Very obvious, black screen telling to you reboot)? An application that freezes can be "force quit" by hitting command+option+esc or by going to the apple menu, depending on how...

    MacBook, MacBook pro or just a laptop?

    You're confusing Linux with POSIX. OS X is POSIX certified which means that it is unix compatible. The GUI is Aqua which is nothing to do with unix or Linux, it's the GUI layer that is what really sets Mac OS apart from everything else.

    iPad - Do i or don't i?

    It's currently only mac/iOS to apple tv 2, I'm not sure how convenient it'd be streaming from mac to->iPad as you'd have to initiate the AirPlay viewing from the mac. Sounds like you want iTunes home sharing on the iPad in reality. Technically making an iPad/iPhone AirPlay client is a piece of...

    Wedding photography costs

    You also need to factor in copyright on the images, a cheaper photographer may well retain copyright and will not provide you with the original high resolution images, you'll then have to order all prints through them, probably at a high premium per image. We're now at the point of looking for...

    VPN help required

    As above, make sure that the router server side is forwarding everything to the server pc that it needs to, PPTP/IPSEC can be a b*****d because it (as pinko points out) GRE uses it's own protocol, depending on your router you may or may not be able to make it work. Also remember that your...

    Apple TV any good?

    It's also apparently not very good, I know a couple of people with them and the list of problems, quirks and bugs that they have is enormous. It also doesn't help that boxee seem to have no interest in bringing the pc version up to the same version as the box version, at least if they did that...
