Numbers questions
How does one 1) suppress zeroes (ie if a cell's value is 0, I want it blank) 2) suppress priniting of grid lines 3) set a default colour , thickness &c for lines etc?

Magic iPhone programmer
My friend Angelo Carbone is undoubtedly the most creative and ingenious designer of magic tricks in England, if not the world, and he has come up with� a trick with the iPhone. He'd like to market it commercially, but first it has to be programmed. (The method is already worked out, of course.) So he's looking ... 8 Jul 2010 04:49

iBooks - can't get books
Has anyone downloaded books for the iPhone from the iTunes store? I've installed the iBooks app on Vt's iPhone (3GS, iOS 4) but all attempts to download anything to read fail hopelessly.

Now, the screen needs to be woken up before a doubleclick ... 20 Jul 2010 04:51
