haha - yes, they probably DID use that. oh my, something deep inside of me wants to barf. or something. or maybe it just wants to write a gui interface using visual basic.

I would go with a Microsoft Natural Mouse 6000 http://is.gd/Hb5K7T before any of those other off-the-wall options.

Happy to hear you're happy! We'll have to agree to disagree about the IBM-to-Lenovo quality issue.

oooohhhh... a deeper inquiry seeing a "Trace Route" search.... good golly, these hAcKeRs are very very very sophistimicated...... wooowwww.......

I agree that Apple has the best hardware, as much as that pains me to say. The thinkpads took a major dip when Lenovo bought them, but they've been getting better since then. Still, my guess is that Lenovo has their eye more on the lucrative consumer market than the previously-targeted high-end business market that…

I have a T410, and while it's nice, it's not head-and-shoulders above the rest like the T-series used to be. When I had a T43, I scoffed at all other laptops - even macs. Now I would consider lots of other brands, lenovo among them, if I were buying a new laptop. In the past it was a no-brainer, but no longer IMHO.…

Thinkpads used to be the undeniable top-of-the-line Windows laptop. Yes, you paid for the honor to be an owner, but there was no question of where to turn if you were looking for the best. Having been a thinkpad owner through a number of generations now, I'm sad to say that Lenovo has downgraded the line to the…

haha. I can't tell if it's his belly or his cell on his belt, or both.

Yep - relies heavily on wind/solar. Which ain't a bad thing, of course. But it is somewhat disingenuous to hail this a some sort of major breakthrough. The real breakthrough would be a serious expansion of the wind/solar industries.

Yeah, I use localphone alot too. Keku looks to be, surprisingly, a bit cheaper than localphone in many cases. Isn't localphone based in India? If so, not such a surprise that it would have good rates there.

If you want a referral code that'll double your first purchase, you can use mine: 1157650. Yes, I'll benefit too, but better than no referral code at all, in which case you don't get your first purchase doubled.

for an iPad, this vs applocker, which wins?

XBMC? or airplay or something?

when will rottentomatoes talk with netflix?

I always OCR my scanned pdf's with Clearscan. Tends to produce smaller documents by trying to make its own font list, etc, and throws out all the heavy image data. Not perfect, but the best I've seen. Might try that first.

yeah, it's a mess, and they're using us as guinea pigs. See https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/kotaku-fix-fox-edition/ and https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ebpikpglbmpefffekgcdhogkpihphjja for a fix.

screen size?

How does it match up against keynote on the ipad?

Another cool thing about Connectify is that you can designate your VPN connection as the internet to share. That way, your connecting devices will not only be secure over VPN, but the hotel's router won't detect additional devices using the wire.

You obviously know more about iOS than I do. So, I'll trust you that it *should* be possible to install more animations without seeing a hit on performance. Where JB apps are concerned, however, *should* is very different that what is actually implemented in the app. There are a couple folks commenting here that…
