My brother was trying to change his harddrive on his mac mini yesterday. This video on youtube showed him how to do it -great!
View Google maps offline on iphone
Google maps allows you to download maps on Android but not iphone
It is really annoying because in the outback you often do not have a 3g signal.
I tried 3 apps and only found one that was really any good
XGPS
It seemed Pretty handy http://xgps.xwaves.net/index.php/Downloads
although you need to jailbreak your iphone and I didn’tn’t want to do this.
OffMaps
I have now uploaded an app that allows me to download maps onto my iphone via an iphone app called offmaps (it uses open source map info). What I didn’t like about this app was that it did not allow you to download non-urban areas of australia so not usefull for my purposes
MapswithMe
This is my app of choice. It allows me to download huge maps anywhere for free. If I want a serach function I have to pay $1 for the pro version. The maps are open source and not quite as nice as google maps but pretty good
Snow Leopard $30 not well spent
I have just had to turn off my router for the second time this morning because the wifi has not worked reliably since I upgraded to snow leopard on my macbookpro.
Excel was routinely crashing my laptop too. I had to fix that – what a pain. Snow leopard looks the same as previous and at the moment is more unreliable.
ALSO something I am really annoyed with is that the multi-touch touchpad which I got the distinct impression would now work with 4 finger gestures is not compatible with my laptop. hmm Well I have 1 finger gesture of my own.
hmm
hmm
This is the first time I have ever bought an operating system. I won’t be doing it again
