I was thinking about the arrangement. I think mission control in Lion is far superior to spaces, but I can understand that it's "different' to SL. When you're in Mission Control, you can use the three finger swipe to show the different spaces "expose" view. When you move your cursor towards...

How old is your iMac? AirDrop requires hardware support for "wake on wifi"? You can make spaces behave like it did before in preferences. I prefer the new spaces, so much so that I actually use it, I never used spaces before apart from accidentally.

The kind of router you get at "home" may well have support for VPN passthrough, but then you'd need a VPN server (another machine) behind the router. The iPhone will work with a PPTP VPN, but they're insecure so not good. Ideally you'd use an IPSEC VPN as the iPhone supports this type of VPN...

Why are you refusing? Confused.

It's almost a certainty that the iPhone5 will be released within the next 2 months, did you not consider keeping the cash and using a cheap phone for a while? If anything happened to mine, that's what I'd be doing right now.

The sims are smaller in the iPad. You can buy sim cutters on eBay for a few quid, they usually come with adaptor trays so you can use the cut down sim as a normal sim if you need to. The 3 sims are a bargain, i'd just buy a couple and you know you've got 6 months of mobile Internet in the bag...

We personally bought a load of 3 mobile broadband sims, they come loaded with 3 months/3Gb (which ever is used up first) after which you're given the option to top up. We just throw the sim away and use a new one. They were about 6 quid when we bought them, I think they're slightly more on...

Worst apple product ever by a mile. Fortunately, they released the documentation on the afp extensions that time machine uses. This means that there are third party solutions which behave like a real time capsule. FreeNAS is highly recommended, it supports time machine but can behave as...

Slipping is nothing to do with the smart cover, but it offers zero protection against it being dropped (slipping out your hand, being knocked off the table etc). The corners on the iPad 2 are seriously susceptible to damage because they're so thin. Just remember this thread when you...

You wont be saying that when the fucker slips from your hand and you crumple a corner. I'd recommend a proper case personally, despite the slightly cool nature of the smart cover.

Go on, convince us. Fact of the matter is, computers have become all pervasive, even those people who shy away from technology have them. I'd imagine that most home computers get used for two things now, surfing the Internet and emailing maybe writing the odd letter, but I'd imagine even that...

Xcode is the funking nuts in lion with the three finger swipe & fullscreen. It actually makes development on a laptop usable.

It's always done that. It's flash.

I did it again.

Yep. I had a safari window open in the dashboard behind the widgets, I could browse in it and move it around the dashboard.

Took me 10 seconds to find my first bug. I launched safari and three fingered swiped to the dashboard and somehow managed to get safari in the dashboard rather than the desktop. Oopsie.

There are a number of different ways to install OS X. If you want a nice new shiny installation, but want to "keep" the old system then you should do an archive and install, this installs a nice new fresh copy of OS X but moves your previous installation to a folder on the drive. This way you...

What Tom said. The discs bundled with machines are not retail discs, they're tied to that specific model number. Archive and install is what you'll be wanting to do Roy.

I'd phone up and tell them you're still not happy with the quality of the repair. If you're not happy now, then it's going to bug you more and more every time you look at it.

Google Apps. We set up an account a couple of years back, but I was unable to transfer our existing mail into it (~20GB) due to IMAP problems (and lots of nested imap folders) with our existing server. Our email server started flaking out big style a couple of months back, so that forced me to...

lolz. Capacitance is more of an issue in high speed signalling, filtering out high frequencies is not a good thing. Resistance is much less of an issue, especially in the sort of distances involved in the ethernet specifications.

I'm on 81% which is about what i would be on with iOS4. With b2 I'd have been down to somewhere between 30-40%.

Re: WWDC 2011 It has to be said that these are a bizarre set of updates, Apple seem to be adding long standing "missing pieces" with each beta, I can't remember them doing this before. Battery life is vastly improved in b3.

I personally wouldn't buy anything that didn't have 3G, even if you don't think you need it, you'll still end up using it. We take ours out and about all the time. We went for a 16GB, purely because we don't put music or videos on it!

Yeah, her website defiantly shows a lot of stuff with some sort of "pop". Obviously it's down to us to say what we want, a lot of her albums are full of really classy images which haven't been fiddled with, maybe the odd one or two. Other albums had more stylised photos, but this is the choice...

We're using www.lisabeaneyphotography.co.uk for our wedding. Her photos are fantastic, we went to her studio and had a good look through her hardcopy albums of weddings that she'd done and they're all exceptional. Make sure that you visit a few photographers and have a look at the hard copies...

I've done this for a kiosk application. I did this by: 1) Writing a keyboard filter driver which prohibits Ctrl+Alt+DEL and all the other special windows keystrokes (alt+tab, ctrl+tab etc) 2) Writing an application which used QtWebkit to create a fullscreen browser app, which filters all URL...

Rotate the screen from portrait to landscape and then back again and it should fix itself.

Re: WWDC 2011 b2 is considerably better than b1, b1 had some horrific bugs in email that seem to have been fixed. Given the timeframe of the "mobile notifier" guy joining Apple, it was obvious that the change to the notification system was a last minute rush job (they've cleaned up their...

Website done in flash is an instant "browse away" from me. You're then left with stupid games and adverts. Not having flash to me is a bonus!
