[iPad] excuse me, is that an iPad?
So per the previous post, I am sitting at a tattoo convention and a woman came up to ask me when the judging is (we have a stall opposite the stage). Half way through the sentence she breaks off with "wow, is that an iPad?" and wants to play with it. This would seem odd, but this is the fifth person today includin... 29 May 2010 14:39

Zinio for iPad
On the face of it, a great idea. However.... where's the justification for online editions being significantly more expensive than paper editions? -- SteveH ... 29 May 2010 13:34

AppleTV $99 rumours - interesting
Haven't seen it mentioned here yet, but a few rumours are going round that a 1080P local storage-free iPhoneOS-based AppleTV is about to appear for $99. Hmm. No local storage? Well, I'd prefer some I must admit but it's not the end of the world. Would mean that operation cheap server PC running iTunes wou... 29 May 2010 09:12

New Mac Pro problem
New Mac Pro, Snow Leopard up to date. Every so often the Finder hangs and I can't restart from the Apple Menu. This seems to happen when Time Machine is doing its thing. I have one internal drive as a dedicated Time Machine drive. It's formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journalled), GUID partition. Any suggesti... 31 May 2010 04:23

Location
How does my new iPad (a 32GB wifi) know where it is? It isn't supposed to have a gps in it, even though it clearly has a compass. It doesn't have 3G, so it can't read 3G towers like the first iPhone did, so how does it know what road it is in, and where it is down the road? Or is it something simple such a... 28 May 2010 03:56

Syncing my iTunes music to my iPad...
....was not smooth. I followed the destructions in the sheet provided with the pad but the iTunes window on the Mac showed no sync tabs - just a message saying that there was no SIM. Indeed there was no SIM but it was both tethered and had a wi-fi connection. Anyway, I unplugged the cable, stuck it in again and... 28 May 2010 07:09
