I blame Google's server. Oh, and you for timing it right while the Google server was out to lunch.

Gday, vpning into a 10.3.6 server from a 10.3.6 machine and every now and then (in different connected sessions), it then gives a message back that I am already connected to the se…

We (my family and I) have an AirPort Extreme set up and it works like a charm... with my Mac. For our desktops we originally purchased 802.11g wireless PCI cards from Belkin, which…

Hey AmericanPsych0 I'm using a Belkin F5D7010(its a ""G"" card)PCMCIA card in my Pismo. Hooks up with everything I connect too. StarBucks, University Wi-Fi some with AirPort Expre…

Speaking of PCMCIA cards, we do have a Linksys one for our PC laptop, and that works fine enough. I'm hesitant to say that the issue is hardware incompatability since the issue is …

It looks and feels as if the headphone jack on my well-worn 1G iPod is about to bite the dust. there's a lot of free play in it, and parts of it are visibly cracked off. which brin…

IIRC, the soldering points for that jack are on the side of the motherboard the display is on, so you'd have to remove that first. I have yet to hear of anyone successfully removi…

hmm, thanks for the reply. here's a pic of a 1G iPod's innards thanks to Tom's Hardware: link to pic -- hit reload and it should appear it looks like soldering could be a pain, y…

Well, *nothing* is "impossible". But those jacks on the right are either SMD, in which case they need a very precise and experienced hand to be replaced, or regular soldered, in w…

To get to the area behind the screen is very easy, it will only take a few minutes to get to. The hard part is actually soldering it back on. It would prob be easier just to buy a …

My original 20Gb G2 ipod got a crack in the 'inner circle' of the headphone jack - this caused the unit to short circuit when you used the in-line remote cable, and it would flash …

Yeah mine was August 2002, I found using just the headphones (no in-line remote) worked, but I got it fixed in March 2003 (less than 1 yr) so warranty prevailed. I wonder what the …

an update: my ipod is still hanging in there, barely. the new sennheiser cans that i bought for my home stereo also work with the ipod, and don't cause it to spontaneously shut off…

I've been doing some reading this morning about wireless security issues. lots of jargon I'm not familiar with, but I get the idea that when you wireless surf, you are completely v…

You're completely vulnerable to having the signal intercepted between your Mac and wireless access point. Encryption is used to minimize that threat in private networks, but public…

At a bare minimum, when using a public network, make sure that the OS X firewall is turned on.

This sign was posted in my neighbourhood this summer across from a MacDonald's. I thought it was funny. Can anyone read the non-English writing? If so, does it correspond to the En…

Good on whoever posted that sign there.

Don't forget the husbands are at fault too.
