Comment on Update: Auto-iSync your mobile phone with your Mac by Julian Schrader

Hi Dave,

as stated in the original article [1], this script is triggered as BluePhone Elite notices that the phone is in range and can be synced via Bluetooth.

I don’t use this script anymore today as I have an iPhone now, which unfortunately doesn’t sync wirelessly.

Hi, how do you actually use this? Does it run on boot somehow? Thanks.

This is the hottest gadget in town. It will surely be a big hit when this had been realized. This will surely replace netbooks and laptops. -Turning Winds

I am concerned that with the ipad and the way it ~~forces~~ guides one to consume media people will become accustomed to pay for each media item one reads/watches/listens to and I am concerned about what Apple will do when HTML5 arrives: they want to have control over what runs on their devices, so how will they block HTML5 apps?

Regarding Performance Problems & Caching: Actually true. Everytime I update my progress I have to ignore the fact that my update isn’t reflected on the “Activity” page right away.

Irritating at its best.

I didn’t try their competitors, but readernaut seems most “social”. They seem to have some performance problems though: Too aggressive caching and the search takes hours.

To all (German) students I can recommend my last read book “Uni-Angst und Uni-Bluff” in which Wolf Wagner describes German universities:

I think everyone should read this, this will not only helps in the reduction of the usage of the fuel but it will also helps in saving the future of the human, or else the situati9on may go wrong if we dont care about it from now.

Hey Sam,

yes—the fuel gauge is visible by default, but I’m talking about the live consumption display, which shows data such as “7.43l/100km”, which unfortunately is not the default (at least in the cars I’m used to drive).

There is no question that if you see the fuel gauge, you will be more aware of fuel consumption and probably be more conservative. I always thought seeing it by default was standard, but I guess not. Cheers.

Great post! I actually need to learn more about HTML and XHTML to really be dangerous!

A friend of mine just showed me this last night on her iPhone. I still am not entirely sure I get it…she checks in basically every place she goes, no matter how mundane. But she wants to become Mayor or something…

I just performed this surgery myself. Could’ve done with an extra pair of hands when trying to re-assemble the little rollers! The little beggars!!!

Mine isn’t a wireless mouse so was a little more fiddly, but I still managed it. I didn’t bother to unhook the cables, I just had them joined while I took out the ball components.

Works a treat now.

After seeing all that gunk, I can’t imagine the other more passive methods will work for long as the grease gets quite a way into the workings. Come on guys don’t be such cowards!!! you need to open her up and scrape her out!

However I’m not looking forward to having to do it again, after super gluing it O_o so I will keep a clean ship from now on with regular hand cleaning.

Comment on Review: Apple’s New Aluminum Keyboard by WayneT3

I just converted from the original keyboard on my PowerMac G5 (hard disk recording setup), and my fingers are still rejoicing two days later. The only thing that could possibly make this keyboard any better would be maybe a cupholder, or a GPS unit or something like that. (BTW, I brought the keyboard to work with me this morning, and it works flawlessly on tne DELL OptiPlex that I use there…)
