I believed her right up until "Yes, I have the same problem if I use another computer", assuming up to then that she was using an old PC that just couldn't cope with the idea of New Things. We've all had to explain that one while performing family tech support.
Nope, sorry - pass your nearest BOFH your account credentials and they'll show you it logging in nicely, though you might not see those 'important emails' afterwards.
From what I gather from this article, the new method would be browsing the marketplace on your PC and clicking 'install', which sends INSTALL_ASSET to your phone.
This is not the same way as the app store. If you want to download an app via iTunes on your PC you need to physically connect the phone. You are free to browse and download apps from the app store on your iPhone, but can't "remotely" install them.
I seem to recall something about the 4 jumping around 3G frequencies to find the least cluttered / best quality, regardless of actual signal strength - related?
I can't reproduce it on my shiny new handset, but I can see the signal jumping around with it just lying on my desk. I think O2 might actually be having 3G problems here as it dropped to all-bars edge for a while too.
The only reason I jailbroke my 3G was to get around O2's tethering charge? Why should I pay so much extra a month for something I only ever use in emergencies*?
Considering that I have pulled only 3GB of data (in total, not just tethered) from O2's network in almost two years, I don't think it is asking too much.
* An emergency = home internet connection not working. Came in handy last night when VM went down in my area.
Guess if you're taking the long way round to reach facebook you might as well do it thoroughly and search for "facebook login" and not just "facebook".
Don't assume IT professionals understand the address bar either though. I asked someone to "browse to <ip address> on port 12345, https" and watched in horror as he typed in "https://192.168.1.2port12345".
Bet the people stuck with Mr. Astley as their wallpaper have never been so pleased to see him given that the ikee worm disabled SSH after infecting the phone.
@AC 13:10 - "kinda like setting up remote desktop on your PC with no username or password."
Not really - you can't log in to an account over RDP if it doesn't have a password set
The unpack itself doesn't fail (though the error message implies that it does), all the files necessary for the installation get pulled out of the BOX files. Once you have these it is very easy to create a bootable ISO and burn it to a DVD.
Stop grumbling, my Windows 7 x64 laptop runs fine, it was previously Vista x86. While Digital River should obviously have seen this coming and I am not defending them, a quick google solved the problem.
Am I the only person who thinks this is going to confuse the hell out of anyone who isn't expecting it on an existing system (Read: Joe PC User)? I'm all for it on a new system during first start up, but serving it through windows update to *all* IE users seems like a bad idea.
I know plenty of users who will just click wildly to get rid of any dialogue they don't understand (not that they stopped to read it in the first place) who will demand to know "where their internet has gone".
It means the bank employee was an outlook user - it has a 'recall' facility for sent messages but it relies on the recipient using outlook too. I believe you just see an email referencing the original message saying "XYZ wants to recall message ABC" if you're using another mail client.
