That button in Google Maps works on your iPhone? It doesn’t on mine. :(

-----------------

I’m so stupid! I did look at the VisualHub advanced settings and saw the Crop option but couldn’t figure out what numbers it was asking for. :p

And now, thanks to Prasad and Milind, I have. Milind and Preshit, let me know if you want me to email the ‘Viva la Vida’ iTunes video, perfectly formatted and cropped exactly right for VideoTone, to you guys. Look at this:

I connect my DSL Router to Time Capsule for WiFi as told by Apple.How to set it up without having the DSL router and by just directly plugging in the ADSL cable?

What is that? Is that a video or a picture?

It’s a screenshot of a video.

You don’t. The Time Capsule doesn’t have an inbuilt modem, unfortunately.

-------------------------

Wow, this is surprising! The AirPort Extreme ships with a giant power adapter while the Time Capsule does not. This doesn’t make any sense.

And Milind was right, the most major problem with my Time Capsule’s range is that neither my Mac nor my iPhone is capable of accessing 802.11n networks. If they were, the Time Capsule would’ve been able to reach them far and wide. :(

So,Please tell me a good Netgear or D-Link Router within 1.5K.
You don't need a router btw. Just a modem. The D-Link one that I've used seems fine for such purposes. No disconnections, and good speed.

Wow! Aayush I now know what you felt like when you recovered that TextEdit document after the power chord yanked off. Some might be knowing that I've been attacked by Kernel Panics ever since I updated, and today was nothing different. I was typing a document in textedit when suddenly the screen went dark. Holy mother of! Once it came through I thought of copying it off the dark screen on a piece of paper, but then I thought I'd toy with fate.

The document was recovered right up to the last character! Awesome!

Awesome indeed. Not the constant kernel panics though. Call AppleCare, dude.

Here’s my email to the MacUser HQ. Kindly glean the information of importance to you.

“Just when you start thinking you have everything under control, something ruddy well comes along.

My MacBook Pro’s power cord has been frayed for a while now and I had been meaning to get it replaced before it died on me. Unfortunately, for me that means having to go to Kolkata from Siliguri via train, giving the frayed power cord and notebook to them (the display is not uniformly backlit, light sensors are malfunctioning, casing is loose and SuperDrive does not burn DVDs, among other minor issues) and getting it back in God knows how many weeks! :(

So, now that the power cord is completely dead, I have no way to power my MacBook Pro and no immediate plans to go to Kolkata. I have another PC in the house that other lower beings (like my brother and sister) use but I haven’t used it in several years and I’m not about to start now. And I just can’t write anything without Exposé, drag-and-drop stuff, the OS X interface and the special symbol options of the Mac keyboards anyway.

What this means is that I’m now going on an indefinite and forced hiatus. I hate to do so but have no other choice. I’ll try to go to Kolkata ASAP and get it fixed. I’ve also ordered a new 24-inch iMac (3.06GHz, 1TB, 4GB, NVIDIA 8800GS—totally pimped out!) and it’s being shipped from Singapore. I’ll return to writing as soon as I can lay my hands on either of my Macs.

Till then, Sayonara! Do me a favour and keep MacUser in good shape, will you?

I have exactly one hour and six minutes of life left in my MacBook Pro’s battery now…


P.S.: I’ll still be available on aryayush at mac dot com if anyone needs to reach me, in case the iPhone gets launched in India or the Government of India launches a new satellite or something, you know.”

So, uh, bye bye! See you on the other side. I’ll still be visiting from the iPhone every now and then, but don’t expect too many replies.

Dude Amazon said 5-10 days shipping. So one has to wait. Out here .Mac costs 9.5k or so (4.6k for single user license). I had to get it from there. Hold on, the box should reach the hands of the special one soon enough...

^^^ hmm Thanks.

@dinesh72

Forget changing the region code of DVD Player, the other thing you could do is to set VLC Player as your default app for playing DVDs. Thats the best solution for you.

iPhone 3G lines are already starting to form in the U.S.A.. Freakin’ nutters! :lol:
I sooo wish I could queue up in line waiting for something...

So anyone gone widget hunting lately? Catch anything good? If you have, share it. For now I've just got iStat Pro and the Organiser thing...

Currently downloading Localhostr and MyTube widgets...

Wow! Localhostr widget is really good. Just drag and drop any file into it (upto 50MB) and it uploads it and gives you a copy link button. Plus it has a neat little interface. Just uploaded some pictures and they went through like a hot knife through butter.

Although I guess it will be a sort of useless tool once we get our iDisk thing ready :)

disable autorun in the System Preferences
Sys Pref -> CD -> Insert Music/Picture/DVD -Set to Ignore
use VLC and open DVD's

oops...:D Eager to answer and realised that Jamesbond already took care of the query
 
Thanks Azeem and Prasad.I have Region code 1 which I set for the time.Is it ok?Does the initial region change also count?I saw that I can change it only 4 more times now.
