Have you tried Nokia support? They release a plugin for iSync that's supposed to work with their phones. I don't know if it works for the 6280, though.

TM can theoretically work on an NTFS drive, but through a hack, and that's not recommended. You can use Disk Utility to format a drive as HFS+. *code.google.com/p/ipoddisk/ It's Cmd + Tab to switch applications, and Cmd + ` to switch windows within an application.

If you're looking mainly for an HTML editor, try Smultron (*smultron.sourceforge.net/)—it's not being developed any more, but it's great as it is. There's also Komodo Edit (useful if you're working with multiple languages) and TextWrangler.

The Archive and Install feature is more for people who are upgrading—it stores your previous system files in a folder called Previous System Files (or something like that). You're going to lose your apps in any case. What exactly did iTunes 9 do to your system?

This is standard—it's your MBP's Sudden Motion Sensor (an accelerometer) kicking into action. If you jerk your laptop, it quickly parks the hard drive's head to prevent damage to the disk. This is why the movie stops playing—the hard drive's head goes away, and only comes back after you're done...

It came last year, actually. After the student discount, the Macbook was the cheapest 13-inch laptop with a T8100. And yes, I do like that I don't have to fight with my OS to get my work done. You had the fixings for a writer in any case. It was the starry-eyed Apple-worshipping that was...

There's Magnifique (*magnifique.en.softonic.com/mac), which may or may not be good. Also check out GeekTool. I don't know about Snow Leopard yet, but on Leopard, GeekTool sometimes causes Exposé to behave strangely.

Unless you're absolutely gooey at the thought of a unibody, the 13" white MacBook is the best value you're going to get from an Apple notebook. To upgrade it, you can get new memory from Corsair and do it yourself (Apple grossly overcharges you for adding memory). I don't know about Oracle...

You're asking for help pirating software. You will get none. Thread closed.

There is indeed. Handbrake, Mac version. *handbrake.fr/?article=download first on the page.

For your annoyances: 1. Yeah, get used to this. I was neurotic for ages about the whiteness of my white MacBook being sullied. 2. If you want to cut and paste, hold down Cmd just before you drop the file into its new location. It's not Ctrl+x and Ctrl-v, but it's something. As for using the...

From my experience (as former Digit employee and now freelancer) 1. Yes. 2. It's an option, but don't hold your breath. A better approach is to pitch ideas for stories you want to write; if you thought of it (and did your background research), you usually get to write it. But if you say "I...

I've merged the threads for the extension and Greasemonkey script into this single thread. Please use this for all updates henceforth.

These people have better things to do, like feed themselves. Your generalisation is ignorant and irrational at best, and completely offensive. Unless, of course, you have some proof that all Pakistanis sign an "I'll be a terrorist when I grow up" contract when they're born, in which case...

Of course I can. How do you think you got your YouTube embeddage?
