Hey Katherine -- it's not a problem, but it shouldn't be�happening. It should go away upon restart.

Cheers!

Interesting find!

Will have to give it a go - although I wish they provided a free version it a trial.

ayn blog : Wordpress image lazy-loading plugin

Sun, 9 May 2010 03:32:21 +0000

Hey there - having a bit of a plugin conflict issue here athttp://techsnack.tv/site The lazy load plugin seems to break the featured content gallery http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/featured-cont... Also, I tried out the plugin on my non-test site with many big images, but it makes the browser sluggish (http://gmauthority.com) - so I disabled it. Le me know if that helps, at all. - Alex

TechNest Report : TNR Tip: MacBook and red light coming out of headphone/mic jack

Even though Real Player is a big piece of garbage, I don't think it's causing the red light syndrome on you MacBook.

I think the red light may be standard practice now given Apple's newest Boot Camp drivers.

I'll look into this.

Charlie - not in a lifetime! All Nokia can do is put out cheap plastic phones. Snake is the best game! Not iPhone competitors.

Nice URL plug!

I think they would find another way to do if, sure - but it's nice to dream once in a while of a world with no contracts and simple pay-as-you-go service.

Ok, bay to reality...

Hey Warren, I feel your pain! The iPhone is such a great device in all its ways, but the calendar's lack of features and flexibility is sometimes astounding. If your company uses Exchange, I'd suggest the following: use the Exchange web interface to make your appointments, which then synchronize back to the built-in iPhone calendar. Does that make sense? Let's hope Apple will take care of these nagging issues with the calendar with a software update (sooner rather than later).

TechNest Report : iPhone's reminders need some work

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:23:00 +0000

Amy, I recommend reading the entire response thread above. What you're experiencing with the reminders is exactly what I (and many others) are complaining about here. Specifically, reminders on the iPhone have much room for improvement: they need to stay on the screen longer and become more "in your face." The ability for a reminder to not go away until you tell it to is important for me (and I'm guessing for you). As for Peter, I provided a specific step-by-step outline of how to sync calendars using the best calendar on the web - Google Calendar. See my response to him immediately below his comment. :) Cool beans! - Alex
