IE7 and Bing.com/maps
This has nothing to do with John's question, but I found it amusing. My employer sent me to a "training session" at a Microsoft facility (quotes because it was really just a sales pitch). Afterward, I asked one of the Microsoft suits how to get to the main library downtown in that city. After fiddling for five ... 27 May 2010 21:27

Video Reverse
I have a video (.mov via iSight) that was shot with iGlasses on, and the image is flipped. Thus, while playing the guitar I look like a lefty when I'm not.

Firefox and Bing.com/maps
Firefox 3.6.x, currently 3.6.3, crashes when I try to enter Bing maps. It doesn't matter whether I go directly to bing.com/maps or to bing.com and click on the maps link.

In making a presentation from a PDF file using a Mac or PC, you can almost always move forward and backward through the slides (aka document pages) using the left and right Arrow keys. But is there a way to step forward and back through _Layers_ on a single slide using Arrow keys, or any other designated keys?... 28 May 2010 19:16

The setup includes a Macbook and an iMac, both running iPhoto '08 on OS10.5.8, and a MobileMe account in between. On the Macbook I bring some photos into iPhoto, which I cull, title and tag.
