Logitech Harmony: iTunes/FrontRow remote handling?
I'm trying to set up a Logitech Harmony 700 for use as a universal remote with the AV kit. So far so good, although set-up can be pretty teeth pulling. Where's I'm stuck is setting up the 'watch my videos' activity. For this I've set the TV on, set it to HDMI3, set the amp on, set it to CD (what I'musing to ... 24 Mar 2010 05:30

Mac for inept user?
Hi all, I have got the dubious pleasure of introducing a new user to a MacBook in a week or so. He is a great guy but is a bit of a clot when it comes to computers - his Windows laptop has just come into the office for the 5th time riddled with Virus's due to his going to TV streaming sites [1] and downlo... 23 Mar 2010 08:59

Mac Mini/HDTV: Overscan always coming up?
I'm setting my up my Mac Mini to work with the new HDTV. DVI->HDMI cable in, with sound routed directly to amp. Very nice display, except that the machine always reboots into overscan mode. I don't want that - it pushes the menu bar off the top of the screen and puts the dock slightly off-screen too. I can d... 20 Mar 2010 09:48

24" iMac
I saw a 24" iMac in the Apple refurb store yesterday and quite fancied it. Alas it's gone this morning. But I can wait until another comes up. Does anyone know of any reason why they wouldn't buy it, other than shortage of cash that is? Peter -- He spoke with a certain what-is-it in his voice, and I c... 24 Mar 2010 10:01

USB Battery chargers
I note there are one or two USB battery chargers out there - you plug it into a USB port and it trickle charges a couple of AA or AAA batteries. What I was wondering is: are there any out there that provide feedback to the computer about the current charge state? I'm guessing the answer is 'no', at least at the l... 19 Mar 2010 05:59

Belatedly got myself a Magic Mouse
And it really is rather wonderful - once I enabled right-click, and then added MagicPrefs so I could get a middle-click and an alt-tab tap, anyway. It's pointlessly limited before that, however pretty. It'll never work for anyone who likes to rest their palm on their mouse and moves from the elbow, but to those ... 20 Mar 2010 09:48

MacBuzzer strange email
I did the whole 'tweet this and get free stuff' thing in order to get Rucksack (which is actually quite good). This morning I get this email: ---------- ??? Thoughts, Sponge and Mainmenu up to to -70% ? What do i have to do? It is really easy. We are looking for Mac users not having their free Rucksack lice... 18 Mar 2010 09:21

Apple to ban iPhone screen films?
From TUAW: <http://bit.ly/dgmuxI> Why? I understand why they suggest that it might "imply that Apple's device's screens scratch easily", but there must be another reason? Cheers ... Mark ... 22 Mar 2010 14:15
