Quark text input
Dear All � A client remembers that he could import formatted, OCR'd text directly from scanner to a Quark text box. (And now he can't). I thought it unlikely, but he swears that he could.

iPhone spontaneous reboot?
I had an odd thing yesterday where I was sending a text message and the phone suddenly rebooted, and got stuck on the apple logo. I can't remember how I got it going again though. I have hardly any extra apps on it as yet. It's also done an odd thing where a thing like a volume(?) scale appears on the home sc... 4 Mar 2010 18:05

online vids too dark.. why ?
Hi all, I posted on this before but got no satisfactory explanation. I watch vids on Youtube and lost of other sites. A majority of them always look darker than they should be even though my iMac is turned up to maximum brightness. Is this because of the differing Gamma between Apple and Windows ? How... 5 Mar 2010 12:50

XBMC - Mac controller?
I've got a Windows PC set up as an XBMC machine (which it does pretty well) and currently I'm controlling it via this iPhone app: <http://www.collect3.com.au/xbmc-remote/> which it does very well. However, I was wondering if there's a native Mac OS X programme that does the same thing. Google suggests not, but my... 1 Mar 2010 12:33
