  • Wow. I haven't logged onto AI in ages and just randomly stumbled across this post.    Hello, Tonton and all!

  • Phew! Glad this story ended well, tonton! At work I'm already forced to have passwords with 12 or more characters and 4 types of characters. But I have to admit that on the Internet, I should be just as careful, voluntarily and in my own best in…

  • Assuming that Apple continues selling unlocked iPhones after the iPhone 5 event on Tuesday -- and I certainly hope so -- the price of an unlocked iPhone will likely go down. However, the price for an unlocked phone, whether it is the old iPhone 4 or…
  • I am ready to buy an iPad, and I will. I didn't buy an iPhone (except for my wife), and I resisted the iPod touch and MacBook Air. The iPad proxides 90 percent of the functionality I would like. I do have one gripe... Why the fuck doesn't the iPa…

  • How funny. I was on vacation in Switzerland during the DNS problems at AN, so I missed the reunion here at AI. (Can't really read AN or AI on my CrackBerry.) But I came here to check out Temporary Insanity while waiting for MWSF announcements. To…
  • I'd buy one of the Apple subnotebooks that Splinemodel describes in a heartbeat. If it had to sync with a desktop that would be the perfect excuse to get a new iMac at the same time.

  • Great article that warms my heart and gets my hopes up. Count on me to spring for a MacBook mini subnotebook, but only if it can run Boot Camp and Windows. At this point in my life, I'm looking for something small and light that can take care of …

  • I wonder where our good old friend Kormac is these days. He always raised my hopes for an Apple subnotebook with his wonderful tales. At this point I'm tempted to get a MacBook, simply because I really would like to use Boot Camp to run Windows a…
  • I run my 12-inch PowerBook with an external LCD and wireless keyboard and mouse. My only two physical connections are power and DVI. So an elegant port replicator would be just fine for me. If you don't remember the Duo Dock, have a look at this …
  • ZO: Sounds like your 1GB RAM stick is bad, even though TechTool says it's OK. Remove the new RAM and see if reverting to the on-board 256MB solves your issues. If yes, you'll know for sure you have a bad 1GB RAM stick. Hope Dane-Elec has a good exch…
