I'm glad Google is offering Fiber in Kansas City, KS. I'm glad Google Fiber has added Kansas City, MO to the mix. But what makes no sense to me, is that in all the areas of the Kansas City Metro, they have chosen the lower median income areas. Now, do they deserve Google Fiber? Of course. But...

Okay, this is really weird. But since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Thunderbold 27" display, hooked to my MacBook Pro 15" is constantly going up and down. As I type this it just reduced itself to almost the lowest setting and it will in a little bit get bright. Even if I set it to full...

This is a great insight into our world and perhaps, the "higher cost" of Apple products is what created Apple Fanboys, and why you rarely see a Dell Fanboy. You do see Microsoft Fanboys, but when you think about the high cost of Exchange Servers, Microsoft Server OS, and the cost and time...

Alright, so can we all shake hands and move on? Any of the mods can reopen this thread (even now) if/when they think it should be reopened. Forgiveness is not something that always comes easily, but sometimes we have to realize that our seemingly perfect self has faults and needs to be forgiven...

I think things need to cool off before people make irrational decisions and say things that will later wish they hadn't. :)

Steve has contributed so much to this world, in so many ways. While the hands involved in helping Steve achieve his visions are many, and those hands will continue to create Steve's visions in the years to come, his all encompassing dedication to perfection and his vision for the next big thing...

We are all sick and our prognosis from the time we are born is that we will die. It might be 20 years, or 90 years, but at some point, we will all die. Steve is sick and he has been very fortunate to be able to remain in the capacity he has this whole time. But, just because he is sick...

Actually, Snow Leopard setups up a "bootable" partition on your disk to make repairs and what not and can repair itself. Using a combination of a bootable partition and access to the internet, it can get whatever it needs to make things right again.

My storage closet. :) A whole disk storage box full of 5.25 Apple IIe floppies. :)

This is less of a rant and more of my experience, which is highly frustrating. I love Apple, I've been a long time dedicated Apple Geek through the thick and thin and have owned Apple products continuously since 1987 with my Apple IIGS. I buy every new iPhone and upgrade my systems more often...

Sounds like a personal problem. :) No seriously, sounds like a cookie issue. You might try clearing your macosx.com cookies, logging back in and seeing if the problem is resolved or continues. If it continues, click on a few pages around the site and see if your session comes back or if you...

I have one of those exact extenders which has an antenna on the roof and seems to work fine, for the most part, for phone calls. But like a Windows machine, it must be "rebooted" one or more times per day to keep it functional especially when using 3G Data or Text Messaging. My problem with the...

Sorry - It's my my former employment at Sprint that comes back to haunt me sometimes. :)

Actually it does touch their network because the 3G Data traffic is routed (encapsulated) as if it was standard over-the-air data and passes through their billing gateways. While they could, in theory, break out the 3G Data to not do that with the Microcell and route it as if just another device...

AT&T suggests you don't use 3G data when using the Microcell, but to use WiFi. Which makes total sense, because it's faster and you don't use your mobile data plan. I don't have a traffic cap on my ISP so I don't get dinged by AT&T for data nor my ISP. When it comes to "minutes", it does use...

Are you talking about something like this 3G Microcell? Granted it doesn't provide 802.11 but does allow you to have a "phone signal" anywhere you have an existing Internet connection. I use one of these in my office because the office is located in a "hole" for AT&T coverage. I think it's a...

Chances are, you may run into an issue you can't install RIP software ( colorburstrip ) for Canon or Epson printers and the problem is usually caused because of launchd is using port 515. You can tell this by running this command in terminal: sudo lsof -i -P | grep 515 If you get an...

Interesting!!! You know, stupid ol me, I always thought drives where smaller because of "formatting". Now that I think about it, indeed it is all about formatting, not the overhead for the drive formatting, but the calculation format. It is interesting, that all these years, drive...

After I got my AppleTV 2, I had ongoing issues getting it to see my Mac's in the house. I tried rebooting, turning on and off Home Sharing, rebooting the AppleTV and it seemed really random when it would work or not work. This was very frustrating since I'm used to things "just working" when it...

LOL. I noticed it too, but couldn't read it. :) Glad it's been fixed.
