    Red Bull Stratos jump LIVE today...

    That was so awesome. I loved it when the old guy on the ground running the checklist goes: "talk to me Felix". or "it's getting serious now". Or when Felix exits and says something like "Well, I think I'm just going to go home".

    IPHONE 5 Is'nt as good as the 4

    There has never been any new phone (Blackberry, Android, iPhone, Samsung.....) that wasn't accompanied by an "I'm getting terrible battery life" thread. 90% of them are user problems. Always happens.

    ATV3 question...

    I've got an ATV2. I use Handbrake to rip, and I choose the Apple TV2 format. I just got a new Samsung ES65-8000 TV (great). I'm gonna get an ATV3 for that because of the 1080. What Handbrake format should I use to rip for that? Hard drive space is not a problem. Thanks.

    Is the iPhone still cool? Maybe not

    Between my wife and I we've owned lots of smartphones (she's got a 4s and I have a Galaxy Nexus). What stokes the iPhones' fire is that it's a beautiful piece of hardware (that was key to Jobs), that the OS is married to the phone (Jobs again), and all the apps available (Jobs). The latest model...

    If the iPhone 5 has new charging port...

    This is played out all over the electronics world. My original BB phone had a USB connector, and the next on a mini-USB connector. No biggie. Chargers are cheap. The boomboxes won't work but we all want a new boombox now don't we?

    IOS6 new features.

    iOS should have had turn-by-turn already. I think you can get it but it costs like $10. Should be free. I think phone geeks who are into specs are better off with Androids. iPhones are for the masses. They are pretty though.

    iPhoto dates question

    I tried to change the date/year on some photos because my digicam's dates were wrong. It said 2005. I changed the dates to 2012. Now the info says it was taken in like 1934. I changed it again to 2012, and now it says like 1887! I think I'm doing it right, but why are the dates doing that...

    A couple simple iPad questions..

    Thanks. I looked in Movies and the videos weren't there. I will look for a separate video app. Thanks. I know how to synch photos to an iPod using iTunes, I thought since the iPad shows up in the source list in iPhoto I could just do it from there. thanks

    A couple simple iPad questions..

    I dragged my iTunes music videos (I've got about 40 that I paid for) to my iPad2 and they show up as songs, not videos. WUWT? They play on my iPod Touch. Another question: I can't seem to move pictures from my iMac to the pictures on the iPad either using iPhoto. That should be easy. Thanks in...

    Are there really 3000 emails on my 4S???

    I've got an iMac and a gmail account and a 4S. Getting totally rid of emails on the Mac is not really intuitive. I delete them and they are still in All Mail, gotta go to Mailboxes and empty deleted items, I finally figured that one out. But on the 4S I go to All Mail and it says 3000! WUWT and...

    Thinking of jumping ship from iPhone 4S to Moto RAZR MAXX...

    I've had a Galaxy Nexus for 4-5 months and my wife has a 4S. I still prefer mine with ICS. I've got a new iMac, iPod, iPad 2 so I know the drill. But there are still some things I can do with ICS that she can't (like see what date a photo was taken). The apps are just as good, the screen is a...

    Large music library slowing down Itunes store?

    Good reason to pay the $25 and use the Match. That way most of the 8000 songs aren't on the phone at all.

    iPad 1 or iPad 2 or New iPad?!?!? Need help!

    I had an iPad 2 and a new iPad on my lap at the same time last weekend looking at the Masters website and I couldn't tell the difference in the photos or the live feed or the replays, for what it's worth.

    Really annoyed with myself!

    Thanks, you saved me $100. I've got the same 1080i thing myself (1080p wasn't available in 56 inch TVs in 2005). And I have to desire to re-rip a bunch of aTV2 movies I did with Handbrake either. I think mine looks fine I just want more content, and aTV3 doesn't have that as I understand it.

    Wifi or LTE iPad 3? Which would you buy?

    I was recently able to use LTE on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone and WOW, was that ever fast. It's way faster than Wifi. We've got a 3G iPad (and a Wifi iPad too). We don't plan on an iPad3 but if I got one the LTE option would be very tempting indeed. For a frequent traveller using it in hotels...

    Would you buy an Apple iTV television?

    And the iMac is just a computer and the Macbook Air is just a laptop and the iPhone is just a cellphone and the iPad is just a tablet and the iPod is just a music player. I get that. I very much doubt that Apple will mess with a TV just to sell it at freaking Costco next to a...

    Get iPhoto slideshow to play

    I make iPhoto slideshows using Lion, and they include maps of the cities/towns/places I've gone, complete with music. But in Apple TV they didn't show up. I had to export them as a movie into iTunes (can be done from within the slideshow easily, you cannot just export it to desktop and drag it...

    Would you buy an Apple iTV television?

    New good 56-70" TVs are $3k. Apple's won't have to be cheaper (they never are), it'll have to offer something better. Personally I think the new expensive TVs with the built-in access to the online content in various flavors suck. And right next to the $3k one there's another one for half the...

    How do I put photos from my computer onto my iphone 4S?

    I didn't know you could get into the iPhone drive that easily. But the reason they use iTunes is simple: storage. iTunes compresses the pix and they take up way less room if they're big files, say, from a real camera.
