Tonight, I talked a policeman out of giving me a ticket which would have
resulted in a prosecution for dangerous driving, exposing me to a risk
of either a ban or prison (the two likely outcomes, given the video he
had of me).

Is there a way to have an iPod Touch play tracks from an iTunes library
sitting on a Mac? I've found Simplify Media,
<http://www.simplifymedia.com/iphone.html>, but I'd rather not
jailbreak this iPod if I don't have to as it isn't actually mine (it's

Hi folks. Well my hard drive did indeed crash the other day - no chance of
rescue as I can hear the poor thing scratching on boot, though I did try the
<c> option to boot form DVD then all the options in the format menu.

I tried upgrading my original iPhone to version 2.0 of the software. It
stalled half way througj and on plugging it in again version 2.0 was

I have a 6 year old G4 aluminium Powerbook that still works perfectly
and is still giving sterling service. The only problem is it has USB

Dear All ­
Went to a client last night, set up the MacBook Pro, setup the internet
access (Tiscali, via a 3Com router), all fine, user delighted.
"Ah," says husband, "and we bought a Time Capsule - can you set that up on

I was just wondering whether there is a way to allocate memory to Mac
OS X applications in the same way that the old Mac OS used to. Also, is
it possible to restrict an application to just one CPU on a dual-CPU
system?

I've just seen someone with a SIM-unlocked iPhone try to get it serviced
at an Apple Store. The Apple guy observed that it said "T-Mobile"
instead of "O2"...
He swore *blind* that he hadn't unlocked it. Fantastic stuff. Do you

Looks like 2.1 may be closer to turn by turn GPS
