@bigtimes: The new world of apps certainly makes dumping your phone a much bigger thought than before. Especially if you buy $10+ apps like navigation. This is going to be true on all new smartphones in the future with the way the market is moving to platform specific software. Tough call when its the main feature of…

@Chernobyl: Yes but how much do you read. When I read it is for hours at a time like on a cross country flight. I've tried that on a laptop LCD more times than I can count and it was hell on my eyes. Watching a movie and casual reading is one thing. Day to day work in front of an LCD is different too. How often do…

Freddy has been able to find you in your dreams since 84'. this is small time

@dfp3050: I'm hoping the little guy part is sarcasm, maybe in the home space but everywhere else its the very old 10k pound gorilla that throws large routers and switches at you. The amount of cisco gear this post bounces through is mind numbing

@Skiiz: again I was going from a stand point of being a regular person just getting a phone. I personally don't like any of the current methods of buying apps on ANY smartphone. I know you can go other places but will most people do that? Will most people go to review sites and andriod blogs. No they will search…

@Kaiser-Machead: yes but in the desktop OS world you don't have the one place you buy all your software from like the market place. A new user, especially one that has little software experience elsewhere, gets a false sense of security since its the official place to buy the apps right on their phone. There just…

@geekymitch: unless they give more features to administer the phones (remote wipes, forced password locks, backup/dictating of settings, etc) and prove the same level of security as blackberries they will be a long way off from breaking.

just make sure you don't chat bad things to the whole group :)

@Cogito Ergo Bibo: Funny I have had the same oral b battery powered "cheap one" for 5+ years. It can use every fancy replacement head that oral b puts out. My gums are fine and I just can't see my self shell out for something new while this one keep going.

Just started syncing my onenote 2010 straight to my skydive from onenote itself! Looks like the share notebook online option is working now. So excited about this. No more worrying about syncing tools to keep my copies between work and home straight. Plus I can access it using the web app!!

@bryanoak: Doesn't touchdown app do all that. I know it's not native but better than dealing with issues until the native stuff gets moving right

@Russell Mishler: be sure to ask in forums about issues instead of just trusting the "supported" database. there can be issues even with supported models

@timgray: Make sure to ask at the DD-WRT forums for issues with your model. Many times DD-WRT will list a router as "supported" but there are nasty issues. Just had to rollback my Buffalo N router to stock firmware due to lost WAN connections and slow N speeds.

@ronca: hopefully they don't mess with your life support system the same way when you get older ;)

My issue is getting it to all play well with docking stations. No matter what I can never seem to get it to work right with using the big monitor as primary, laptop as secondary and have it undo that properly when undocked. Seems like I need to load a profile or tweak ati settings more often then I should.

@Dragonis: Its not to bad to do on a T60 T61 is just the wide screen version. about 6 screws on the bottom then the keyboard tray comes out from the top and the you have access to the insides. I did this once before sending it out for service and saw in the repair notes that they noticed it looked to clean and…

getting rid of paint and old TVs and such is a pain here in Vegas. One drop off day at the dump for electronics and paints. Line is an hour long since all the construction people are dumping things as well. They really need to make it easier or no one will do it.

@theworldisasheep: Just lock the drive letter for that drive to a high letter like X: You can do that in device manager. That should stop the letter changes.

So who are these people that have a perfectly good Thinkpad nub but use the trackpad... for shame!

@Gary_7vn: Have you been trying to pull up plans for the deathstar, twitter about the force, and update the firmware on you space helmet at same time?
