I haven't really done it much for business but I have clients who have seen some benefits. It's definitely a fun way to drive traffic in the short term, tweeting updates to your "followers" and what-not.

Don't laugh, but I've used paypal a few times...

I'm a fan of Chris Marker's "Sans Soleil". I also just watched "My Dinner with Andre" again -- what a great film that is.

I believe there is also an option in the Finder prefs -- or maybe even in iPhoto's prefs -- that will disable the automatic feature that kicks in whenever you plug in a camera or iPhone or whatever. That's what I find most annoying. If you set it to manual, …

Is the app a browser extension of some kind? sounds like you need to trash some preferences/cookies...

This is a little off-topic, but I'm not totally getting how the iPhones are much of a security improvement (partially because apple has been tight-lipped about it). Previous versions already had essentials like wifi encryption and browsing capable of recognizing EV SSL certs, so are the updates mostly regarding hardware? …

Could it possibly be a browser problem? Have you tried it on multiple browsers that are fairly up to date?

Neither are great but at least Compete gives you an estimate of monthly uniques...which might be worth something to someone somewhere.

You definitely don't need to be "new" to be effective, the question is whether or not such a platform would be effective. I think it would depend on a lot of factors. What would make this better than simply a phone conversation? For smaller businesses who may not have the …

LOL cute -- I like the banjo music in the background

Time Machine makes one full backup and then continually makes incremental backups to stay abreast. It is also, in my personal opinion, the worst piece of software apple has ever put out, as it has been nothing but a headache for me and my circle of mac user friends. But, …

I listen to a lot of jazz...been on an Ornette Coleman kick lately for some reason. Gets me wired, though.

The answer to this question USED to be "no," but I've heard that google is starting to crawl youtube comments (or it's a feature in labs or the like), which might change things. Can having strong video content actually improve your SEO? It seems like it depends on where and …

[QUOTE=GrimJack;728716]Is it possible to use the IR from my laptop to control the tv? Would really freak out my wife.[/QUOTE] Lol...yes, I am pretty convinced that most technology is for irritating spouses

I like both vb and phpbb as well, they have tons of customizable options that can have your forum looking individual and spiffy. vb's a little pricey but a much nicer interface imo

Can't you do that with the disc utility that comes with the program? I guess I'm not sure if that would scan for a virus, per se...I know Norton has some products.

I definitely think it's going too far, but I can understand situations where it might become necessary. How bout this...the gov't needs a WARRANT to search your hard drive? How bout that, the creation of a whole new search warrant for electronic devices. They'll probably get misused, but I do …

Another tip: take Xanax! Kidding...

I would definitely try running a disk utility of some kind, that sounds like there's a corruption. But, I'm not in the UK so I'm not sure of any further specifics... How old is the comp?

Bloggers somewhat have the advantage of an RSS feed, which makes indexing a lot easier, and they can also sign up for those auto-PING sites. Forums, though, are a lot tougher to get indexed in my experience, although perhaps I just haven't used the right tools? I know that google …

Hmm, yeah, this is a problem with a lot of companies. I think what you probably need is some combination of Voip, which would give you the over-the-net connection, and voicemail services, which would route the calls. Some of my clients use gotvmail for the latter; you get a 1800 …

I think it depends. Both have their issues. One thing I will say, Google's interface is a LOT cleaner, a lot nicer, and their mail app is far superior. As far as which one is better for searching, though...don't know, google is obviously the industry standard, but that could change.

Yeah, I've had a few issues, too, although to be honest for me the issues were no worse than when I upgraded to an intel Mac...still can't get Microsoft Office 04 to work properly, but then I guess it's my fault for not upgrading to 2007...

hi there, I'm rundie, a new user. I'm not an IT freak by any means, but I've been working as a graphics and comp troubleshooter for a few small businesses (mostly for people who don't know how to work standard Mac applications or solve basic problems). Anyhow, I thought this …

briansmall's post is a bit alarmist for my tastes, but I do agree that the constitution is full of escape routes and trap doors. I find it ironic that we often romanticize the founding fathers as idealizing democracy and freedom, and yet they bestowed way more power on the president …
