One of the things that I find annoying about iTunes is the custom interface. Apple has been slow to update it so on Windows Vista the support for Aero Snap, for instance, is inconsistent. There are many times when I have a maximized window and am not able to unmaximize it simply be dragging it...

A related question that I have: Is bandwidth charged based on volume, irrespective of destination? I live in Nunavut, in Canada's arctic. Transmitting data to and from my home surely costs more than it does to transmit data to and from someone living in San Francisco (if only because of...

As I think about "net neutrality", it seems that a lot of the debate comes down to how we price bandwidth. But I want to make sure that I understand how bandwidth is currently priced so that I understand the costs involved. My understanding: On the internet, one pays bandwidth costs in order...

It is an SDHC card, but my laptop (an HP Pavilion tx 2000) is supposed to be able to read 4GB type 2 SDHC cards. I also experience the same behaviour regardless of whether I directly insert the card into my laptop's SD card slot or whether I have the card in the camera that I used to take...

I have a 4GB SD Card with photos and videos from my Christmas vacation. I want to copy the files to my computer. The problem that I am experiencing is that the copy is failing on certain files and this causes Windows explorer to crash and/or the command line (when using xcopy) to stop...

Thanks for the replies. It's good to know that it's possible to do this in software. Next time I face this situation and don't have a router I'll try out the software approach myself to see how it works. I had previously tried out what you suggested in software on the Mac and it didn't work...

I am using a laptop. My roommates have an iMac (that they bought last year). Today I bought a wireless router in order to get wireless internet on my laptop. But it occurred to me - I'm sitting on the couch next to their iMac - isn't there a way to share internet access without a separate...

In Canada that would arguably be a criminal offense in addition to having tort liability attach to it. Alas, the experiment failed as the program just isn't taking the pictures and when I press the button to manually take a shot more often than not Dorgem hangs.

Thank you very much, Gooberlx2. I've installed Dorgem as per the instructions on that page. Configured it the way I want so that it'll take a picture once a day when there's motion at the computer and so that the program will start and run in the background when I start my computer. Now I'll...

I had an idea that I would like the webcam on my laptop to take a picture of me each day. I would want the picture to be taken automatically and silently saved to a folder on the computer. I would want the picture to be taken while I am actively using the laptop. It would be sufficient to...

Thank you for the suggestion of using Quicktime to save.

I have a couple dozen Quicktime MOV files. I want to extract the audio from the files to generate audio files (in a small format like MP3, though AIFF would do). I tried opening them in Final Cut Pro and exporting the audio to Quicktime, but this took a really, really long time (exporting audio...

I have a cd that I burned some of my files onto as a backup five years ago. I want to copy all of the files off of it onto my hard drive. The problem is that when I select all of the files and folders in Windows Vista and drag them to a folder on my hard drive the file copying dialogue box...

Whenever I start Windows I receive the following error message as a popup: http://clip2net.com/clip/m6907/1221703438-clip-15kb.jpg I click 'OK' and my computer appears to work properly. How do I get rid of the message when I start mycomputer? I tried searching google for 'tuvUKExy.dll' and...

Thanks for the details - that must be the problem that I'm having. I guess I'd need to buy more hardware to make this work. I'll hold off on doing anything for now.
