Words fail me.

Especially given he's a journalist and "technology writer".
Though I do like the fact he's closed comments and deleted them with the following explanation:
Just to add to that, the cellular connection is only open long enough to start the facetime connection, once the facetime connection is made the cellular connection is dropped, both voice and video go over WiFi.
Always install natively using bootcamp, for the simple reason that Fusion (and I presume parallels) can boot the bootcamp partition as well. Best of both worlds, convenience of a virtual machine and the ability to run native all in the same installation.
There's also virtualbox which is a free...
It costs nothing to develop an app, you just need a mac and a developer account.
It costs £59/year if you want to run the app on real hardware and make it available through the iTunes store.
This is not a trivial application, it requires adding a whole load of stuff into vBulletin (as TapaTalk...
Re: using i phone abroad
Turn off cellular data if you're on iOS4, there is a bug in previous versions of the OS which means that it may actually use cellular data when roaming even if you have "data roaming" off.
The "completely turn off cellular data" feature was a new addition in iOS4...
There are some caveats to this (things I've noticed):
* If you haven't got a route currently planned, then it will disable the background GPS service when TomTom goes into the background.
* If you've arrived at your destination (i.e it's said, you have arrived) then it will automatically...
Ubuntu.
or if you really want to get to grips with the command line....
Ubuntu Server
(although you can cheat afterwards with "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" and give yourself a desktop gui)
We bought the magic trackpad at the weekend and it's fantastic, our mac mini is connected to the TV and controlling it with a mouse when in bed was a pain, the trackpad makes it much easier.
Thumbs up here.
It's different. On a mbp the trackpad clicks, not the mbp case. On the magicpad they make the feet click rather than the surface, which makes it unclickable on anything other than a hard surface, they could have engineered it so that it worked like the Mbp touchpad, but they didn't.
However...
Picked up a magic trackpad in regent street yesterday and my initial reservations over the clicking were gone. Although the physical click requires it to be on a solid surface, the "soft click" works very well, much better than the first time I tried it a long time ago, I've not actually managed...
This. The BBC make un-DRM'd h264 streams available for the iPhone/other mobile devices, these are of much lower resolution/quality than the normal iPlayer streams. You cannot access the normal iPlayer streams on the iPhone.
It has obviously traversed down the tree, I'm guess that the problem is:
1) Either related to it being a network share
2) The path being incredibly long.
3) Windows.
I'd try installing cygwin+perl and use it from there, that way it'll behave like unix rather than the native perl you installed...
No idea!
I'd use unix type slashes, so "F:/TEST Bridges/" etc.
You're trying to rename a folder named "03 PI, GI and FTI" to "TESTTESTTEST"?
It's possible it's case sensitivity, so change the script to:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use File::Find;
$searchFolder = "F:/TEST Bridges/Bear Consultancy...
I potentially see the click bring done via the feet as being a slight issue if you're not using it on a desk, i.e on a soft surface, I will reserve judgement until I've played with one properly though.
I know it supports the pseudo click like all mac trackpads, but I always turn that off as it...
The misses will be pleased, she dislikes the sound of the mouse scraping on the bedside table when I'm trying to get stuff to play on 4OD.
Purchase coming up this weekend me thinks.
Install perl from:
http://win32.perl.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
and once installed (and ensuring perl.exe is in the path) and in the path with my script type "perl rename.pl" (assuming you named the script rename.pl)
Or
Download cygwin
http://www.cygwin.com/
This installs a unix...
What do you mean "it didn't work?" did the script give an error? If so, what error?
It worked fine for me.
I had a structure like:
Test/Test2/Test3/Test4/Test3
Test/Test3/Test2/Test3
Test/Test4
I set $searchFolder to say "/Users/me/Test" and then $matchName to "Test3" and $replaceName to...
Let me know how you get on.
Btw, before running it for the first time I'd put a # infront of the rename command, that way you'll see what folders it would have renamed and their new folder names but without it actually doing anything....a dry run.
Just as a quickie:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use File::Find;
$searchFolder = "/Users/homersimpson/test";
$matchName = "test2";
$replaceName = "test3";
finddepth(\&fileRenamer, "$searchFolder");
sub fileRenamer
{
$sourceName = "$File::Find::dir/$_";
if (-d $sourceName) {
if ($_ eq...
