Apple usually charges the rate of tax at your location even if it is technically shipped from out of state. They determine that it is sent from a local source and thus is required to charge tax. It's a way of making customers have no real benefit of buying online as opposed to the store.
When buying your ipad in the US, simply request them to email you the receipt. That means you don't need to have it mailed nor on your person through customs. You don't need any boxes, you will never use them again, its nice when it comes time to sell, but lets be honest, the new buyer puts them...
The Anker's Glaze case is a winner for my white iPhone... its ultra thin, has a translucent back so you can see the design, but also protects from falls and bangs.... and a great price on amazon!

Winter tires are awesome If you can afford them, especially if you are expecting some heavy consistent snow and don't live in a particularly accessible area. Having said that, snow tires on a 2wd are not going to have a huge impact. 4wd awd etc for sure, night and day! However, just get yourself...
I too have the first generation Aluminium Macbook 13inch, the track pad is prone to failure and some of the other issues could be a plethora of problems. Do you have Apple Care? As mine is running out in a few weeks we had it sent away to Apples assessment center in Texas, we only wanted the...
Usually, if they have replaced the phone with a new one (they are refurbished) it will be under the same warranty as the original. So for example, if you are less than 12months in and have replaced the phone, the new phone doesn't come with another 12months it usually comes with the same...
Was your GF's phone jailbroken? Have you tried to 'jail brake' the phone... not sure if this can be done without the correct SIM card in it.
If it wasn't jailbroken, i would perhaps call the carrier and see if they can match the sim card and the IMEI number on the account. I'd also try to...
There are many many reasons to buy an Apple over a traditional Laptop, however, if all you are looking for is a portable general surfer than a standard laptop will do the job (maybe even an iPad), with the money saved buy a refurbished iMac and have an awesome home machine and one to casually...
I use 'youmail' here in the US, again its an app (you pay for it) but it has some great features. It recognises the number calling and gets its info and greats the caller by their registered name! E.G. 'Hello Matthew, James can't come to the phone right now so if you leave your name and number...
log on to your local www.craigslist.org and see what you can find, get a used on still under warranty or apple care and have it put into apple for an assessment and they will replace anything required that is covered under warranty....
had it for a week already had to swap it out due to faulty hardware...... this is going to be the same as the first batch of 3g's, poor QC to simply supply demand! Still, facetime is cool
why not buy a local pay and go sim card for AT&T? Or even T-mobile, cost next to nothing and swap the sim card out without major charges, you can simply swap the old sim back to check messages every few days. Either that or buy a Virgin pay and go phone for $10 from Target ;)

Lifetime warranty and no hassle replacement if it peels etc...
Have them on my iPad, iPhone, MacBook etc.. If you buy one they send you a code for 40% off, so if you and some mates order one simple use the discount code. If anyone is interested they can use me as a go...

It's fully adjustable and very sturdy, if there were issues with shipping perhaps I could send you a boxful from the US?
Whether an iPad will work for you is entirely down to what you want it for, what you will use it for and what your expectations are.
Is the iPad a replacement of a laptop? In my personal opinion no it is not, however, you can make it work if you want it to... but again depends on the issues...
post up the job sheet, as suggested, its akin to repairing a car. Many people will simply state replacing an entire panel instead of repairing it as they feel it is easier labor wise, people like making things easier for themselves in all job genres, computer tech is no different.
As stated...
Re: iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (Read this before starting more threads)
Do you guys not have Craigslist? Thats what we use in the US, its free and its great!
P.s. not sure what phone companies are doing in the UK but all of the major carriers here are now putting limits on their 'unlimited plans' as...
Re: iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (Read this before starting more threads)
When's the release date in the UK? i'll be pre-ordering 2 on the 15th so i'll let you know what i think....
The wireless only facetime is a network issue here in the US not a hardware one, i would presume it can be upgraded via...
do you guys have the droid incredible? 8mpx camera, 1ghz processor.
comes out here on the 22nd.
the iphone is the 'best' generally good at everything phone but its so cliche, think outside the box if you want to be different. I've had one on the day they were released since they came out, i've...
The Desire is simply a repackaged Droid Eris that we have here in the States. I have the Eris and it is a very nice phone to look at, it feels great and its functions are cool too. However, be warned... Battery life is hideous, the screen persistently unlocks itself in your pocket and dials...
I have the HTC Eris running on 1.5. After having all of the iPhones i can safely say it is a solid start to the Android phenomenon, the motorolla droid is running 2.0 and has a slide out keyboard but it is fairly large. The Eris is a great little phone and packs a lot of usability with its apps...
As suggested, the worse thing you can do is turn it on as the power can short circuit and damage connections. Stick it in a bag of uncooked rice and leave it over night. The concentration gradient of moisture will 'wick' the moisture out of the phone. Then once it is dry, put it back together...
I remember reading a case whereby a 'quiz' master made something similar in order to stop people cheating at the local pub quiz! haha.... however, there was a doctor in there on call and no one knew about the jammer and the doctor in question filed a complaint once he realised a week or so later...
haha would be funny.... we should email them from dodgey email accounts and give them the old..
'my daughter is studying abroad and i would really like to buy her this car, i can pay, but it would have to be by western union, would you be able to post it if i paid you £10,000 for it?'
haha...
'The car needs to go so the reserve has been set accordingly'
This should set alarm bells ringing, hes just cut and pasted his ebay scam and put it on pistonheads.....
