Noticed a price decrease (an epic one) on the WD 2TB drive, despite being OOS at ZZF. Price was parked at $279 for a while, then all of a sudden it dropped significantly. Question is will it be this price when it comes back in stock ($179) :eek:

One of our non-profit societies has a secure folder setup for viewing speaker presentations. An email was sent out with the URL and user id/password. The linked url worked in the email last week, and now it doesn't. However, manually typing the address + deleting the history does work. Has...

My new office uses Front Page for web development. So far, there is no CSS whatsoever; just old fashioned tables and whatnot in webpages. I hope to begin retro-fitting the many websites with CSS soon. Can CSS be implemented into HTML emails? I realize this would be embedded CSS, not linked...

After listening to the Vinyl rip of Red Hot Chili Peppers' Stadium Arcadium, I'm about to buy about 500-1000 bucks worth of vinyl records. What does this have to do w/ computer audio you ask? I am shipping it off to be digitized. :D Final format will be APE, which of course can be made into...

So at my new job they have everything on a network, and don't allow installation of software onto their drives. I need to bring an external drive to back up some stuff anyway, and am wondering if I can bypass the network security crap and run iTunes off of my own personal external USB drive...

I get paid on tuesday and am wondering if Apple ever fixed the bug that caused excessive/constant HD spinning in the ipod classic. Anyone know? I just got a new job and would like to take some music to the office. If its fixed I will be getting the 160 GB unit.

I plan on getting the top of the line 24" Imac in as early as 2 weeks, but maybe longer. Should I go out of my way to get one now before Leopard comes out (assuming it is out in October)? I don't know the whole Apple history with OS changeovers, and whether or not they cause as many problems...

I cant find any answers to this online: what is the horizontal slot above the screen on the iphone? There are 2 physical items on the screen total, this, and the home button. I figure its some sort of antenna item, but I have no idea.

For external HDs, which format is best for Mac (intel). I will be transferring about 200 GB of music from my PC (xp) to the drive, so it needs to be PC-MAC compatible. I don't own a mac, but will very soon. (Imac refresh)

I just bought a new desk from Ikea for my room, the Fredrik (small version). Space is limited, and I have decided I want an IMAC, as it is a computer and monitor in one. I heard the Imac is due for a refresh any time now. Anyone know the following? : 1. LCD or LED 2. 8 series Nvidia or other...

I rip to wav in E.A.C. then import to iTunes to be re encoded into Apple Lossles (ALAC). I am getting sick of re-tagging things, and am wondering if there is any way now or down the pipleline that would enable straight-to-ALAC ripping in E.A.C. It would save me oodles of time, as I probably...

1. Can you 'surf' the web with out fees? Does it count towards minute limits/time of day fees/etc? In other words, constant 24-7 web usage (despite battery limit) would be free? 2. Is it flash based or HD based? I assume flash since it is 8 GB?

The Sonus Faber Concertino DOMUS and CREMONA AUDITOR look fantastic. Similar in shape to my Insignia NS speakers, but probably a hair or two of improvement. :D I don't have the space or desire to have a traditional speaker setup with stands that are 3-5 feet from wall, etc. And I listen to...

Will it be feasible to use one of the yet-to-be-released LASER TVs as a computer monitor? Sounds like you can buy a lot of screen for little cash. I can easily hold out till next spring, but wouldn't mind a step up from the 20" dell widescreen I got now. Plus wall mounting would be a bonus...
