This is great until when it's finished you get some rubbish message about "not converting european data files" - could it not check that first?

OK So whilst the growth in the economy was less than stellar and certainly less than the predictions or even hopes of the economists... GB Plc did grow last quarter. See graph from the BBC. However reports had been expecting a 0.3% rise or some hopefuls wanting 0.4% so the lacklustre 0.1 is disappointing but a start none the less.  Certainly one report I heard declared that GB Plc is the last G8

Well recently I need to match a font to logo we were using on a webpage. I could have just used any old font and most people wouldn't have minded but me being the perfectionist I am - I want to try and get it RIGHT! In comes the "whatthefont" website beta available at http://is.gd/78L49You upload an image, or point to an image on the web then. After some OCR the site asks you confirm it's

Excuse my previous tweet if the cricket score was wrong. The ECB app is mis reporting it in two screens.I can't check the live score because te bar I'm in hasn't got working Wifi - annoyingly. So if someone can oblige with the score that'll be great.

I took this screen shot some time ago but not long enough ago that I wasn't impressed that I had backups stretching far back to May 2009 at the start of December!

Time machine is a wonderful hands off solution making that claim of "invisible technology" a reality for many. It dutifully guards the data of many people using macs. Myself and my Dad included. Previously I was pretty good at cloning or taking a copy of "that" important file - but still not good enough. My Dad, never. No time, unsure of what to do etc. Time machine does it all, hourly

I had a genuine use for Insomnia the mac app that stop the laptop sleeping when you close the lid. I just thought this was a mac habbit, but I learnt recently that IBM, Lenovo's have the same habbit. Most of the time it's fine, but on this occasion I wanted to close the lid and have the laptop keep running - perfect just what this app. is for!however since then even though it's turned off,

I thought I'd posted this the other day, but clearly not. I thought I would post this list of prices and in an all together unrelated fashion tell everyone about the link on Macrumors about hacking the tethering options on your iPhone!http://www.macrumors.com/2009/06/18/iphone-tethering-and-mms-hacks-surface/

Overall I like it, MMS just started working correctly on O2 today etc.Also as 3.0 hit the wires for everyone all the 3.0 updated apps kicked in. I doanloaded the 3 updates I was offered and also received this warning.I was downloading updates for;ShazamThe Benjamin Button eBook andTwitterificI

The ballot was rather large - and featured some entries I'd rather not see but that is the price I am willing to pay for my free society.

I recently has this become a greater problem. I'd encountered an error reading some DVDs and just thought I'd mistreated the discs a bit too much. Then however in order to free up some disk space, I thought I'd burn some Keynotes etc. off the laptop.I got this error in several applications and attempts to write DVDs.I booked an early morning Apple appointment, I do wish we had 24 hour Genius

After an update to Safari 4 I encountered this problem. It was, eventually, an easy fix. Detailed by the growl developers - but when it first occurred quite frustrating!It's something to do with the rendering of the preview in the GrowlMail window and it using Safari 4 html engine?The Fix...basically changes the preview options of GrowlMailhttp://www.safari4beta.com/2009/02/safari-4-
