"Rowdy" Roddie Piper, dead at 61

Breaking News: 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper Dead At 61

WWE Hall of Famer Roderick George Toombs, a.k.a. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, passed away at his home in Hollywood, CA at the age of 61, according to TMZ Sports. According to the report, Piper died from cardiac arrest in his sleep on Thursday night. He was discovered today.

Piper was diagnosed with cancer in 2006. He was scheduled to wrestle at the Survivor Series that year, teaming with Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Sgt. Slaughter and Dusty Rhodes against the Spirit Squad, however he was replaced in the match by Ron Simmons. He stated in an interview with The Hillsboro Tribune last November that he was now cancer free.

"The cancer is gone as far as I know," Piper said. "I've passed the five-year mark. It's one of those things that haunts you a little bit, especially when you go as hard as I did. I'm doing OK, but about a year ago, I was driving home and I couldn't breathe and almost passed out. I was trying to ignore it, but I had a blood clot in my lung and spent some time in the hospital. I need to start being careful. I'm not sure we're invincible anymore."

Place your best, ladies and gentlemen

When a federal election is called (sometime this weekend???), you shall vote to elect a member of Parliament to represent you in the House of Commons, where he or she will debate and pass laws on your behalf. Canada is divided into 338 ridings.

Still, we here in ehMacLand have people from coast to coast to coast, and our own currency (ehMacLander Bucks).

So, now is the time to place your bets on the number of seats each federal party will win when we actually vote. No actual money is involved, and no actual money shall be won. Still, your name shall be inscribed in the ehMacLand Hall of Wonders as being the person who gets closest to the actual election results at the earliest date.

Keep in mind that your selections do not necessarily reflect who you want to see win or who you shall be voting for in your local riding.

Here is my initial prediction to get us moving.

What's the difference betweenn unlimted internet plans? - Cogeco, VMedia & Tek Saavy

Does anyone know the difference between Cogeco VMedia and TekSaavy's unlimited 55/10 internet plans?

I'm looking at blowing apart my bundle with Cogeco and going with a high speed/vol unlimited internet plan for my family of 5's Internet and online viewing. This would mean cutting the cord on my Cogeco home phone and Digital Select TV plan ($205 /month). TV viewing will be supplemented with an over the air antenna (we get about 30 channels here in Niagara).

The good people at Cogeco have come-up with a way to reduce the existing plan bill to $170 month with adding unlimited internet (Ultimate 55 Plan w unlimited). But this is still too much.

Cogeco's Ultimate 55 Plan w unlimited is offered for $60.95/mo for 6 months. Don't know what it will cost after 6 months.

I spoke with a rep at VMedia. They have good pricing on 55/10 unlimited internet ($69.95/mo), but require modem purchase, installation fees etc. I think that they run their service using Cogeco lines and read that there customer service is limited.

I've heard lots of good things about TekSaavy over the years, but their 55/10 Unl internet plan is pricey ($95/month) and require hardware purchases, set-up and activation fees etc.

Is there any difference in the quality/reliability of the internet service between these providers or is this just a commodity that we should be trying to get the best price on?

Permanently disable Safari Web Content?

Is there any way of disabling Safari Web Content?

All it ever does is slow Safari down to a crawl and eventually crash. It isn't even needed, since every time I force quit the processes in Activity Monitor, Safari continues along just fine without it.

There's got to be a way of getting rid of it completely. Just another one of Apple's stupid oversights... it's been causing people problems for years.

Ram Pick-up Buyback

One would think that by now Chrysler would know how to make a steering mechanism for a pick-up truck.

Or maybe not!
Fiat Chrysler to buy back 500,000 defective Ram pickup trucks | Tampa Bay Times

Quote:

DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler will buy back from customers more than 500,000 Ram pickup trucks in the biggest such action in U.S. history as part of a costly deal with U.S. safety regulators to settle legal problems in about two-dozen recalls. The trucks, which are the company's top-selling vehicle, have defective steering parts that can cause drivers to lose control, and some previous repairs have been unsuccessful. So to get them off the roads, Fiat Chrysler agreed to the buyback, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Owners also have the option of getting them repaired, the agency said in documents released Sunday.

As usual incredibly weak reporting. Surely even a first year journalism student would want to know: Which years trucks were involved? Or which parts were croppers?

Does depreciation include the loss of value because the trucks shipped with dud steering assemblies?

Note further down in the article the Jeeps which seem to have stolen a defective gas tank design from the Ford Pinto.

Hard Drive Woes

Okay. So, mother in laws MBP has a spinning beach all shortly after boot. Basically hard drive issues (actually is an SSD) anyways, I've pulled the hard drive out to get info off of it rather than boot with it and it makes whatever other mac freeze and or the hard drive unmounts itself when it's in an USB enclosure.

Anyways looking at the best method, if any to get the info off the drive. Of course there are no back ups on other drives. Argh.

I'll be booting it up and checking the activity monitory to see if I can see the cause. Really just don't want to be left loading everything manually or starting from scratch. Hate dealing with other people's computers.

iPhone 5S going right to voicemail...

My dads iPhone 5S is going straight to voicemail. I have checked the settings under "Do Not Disturb". Manual is gray (not green), scheduled is off, allow calls from "favourites", repeated calls on.

When I swipe up for the quick commands, wifi is on as well as bluetooth, the moon symbol is not selected. I have restarted the iPhone, also just did an iOS update to the latest, cannot remember what was on before, some version of iOS 8 though.

This is not a new phone, same SIM has been in since I bought it for him a few years ago. Calls do go out, just when coming in they go direct to voicemail. I am stumped. Is there something else I should be checking?

safari freezing when saving a bookmark

I am having a problem with Safari on my 5k iMac running Yosemite 10.10.4 with Safari 8.0.7

I normally click and drag a link to a specific book mark folder in safari, done this for years. I just noticed today when I was trying to put a bookmark in the right folder that it would lock up Safari (spinning beachball). I ran disk utilities, repaired permissions, verified the disk, everything looks good. Also restarted the iMac, restarted Safari, etc etc.

I have a mac mini running same OS and same Safari versions, and this does not happen there, so it is something related to my iMac. What else can I check here? I am saving screen shots at the moment of the info I need.

Wanted To Buy "High End" AGP Graphics Card for a Power Mac

I'm looking for a higher end graphics card for a Power Mac. It has to be AGP and have and ADC Port on it. I read the best ever made were the Radeon X800 XT and the X850 XT. Those would be nice to get...

I know that there are two pins that need to be taped for a 8x AGP card to work in a 4x machine.

I'd rather not get a flashed PC card because they won't have ADC. Though.. if someone had a really good offer for a top of the line one of those; I would be interested too!

Microsoft "Send"

Microsoft isn't just late to the party - it's like they always arrive late and at the wrong address....

Microsoft Introduces Send, A Short-Form Email App That Works More Like Instant Messaging

Microsoft today is introducing a new application aimed at reducing the time it takes to check and respond to email while on your smartphone. With Send, as the app is called, the idea is to make email perform more like instant messaging, as it does away with more formal email constructs – like the subject line, for example – in favor of quicker, shorter messages that you can dash off in seconds.

This is not the first time a company has re-imagined mobile email as more of a mobile messaging client, or a text messaging-like service. A startup called Hop attempted this as well, with an app it first launched back in 2013. Another startup called MailTime also previously participated in the TechCrunch Disrupt Battlefield this past September.

The concept is intriguing, but has so far failed to resonate with a wide number of consumers who, today, often simply abandon email for simple communications, and instead use mobile messaging apps like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, or even just SMS or iMessage.

USGS Warns possible major quake event pending!

USGS: Major quake could strike San Francisco Bay Area within days

Tuesday's mild 4.0 earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area could be a signal that a major destructive event will arrive within days, a U.S. government seismologist said Tuesday.

Research geophysicist Tom Brocher with the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park, Calif., said Bay Area residents should be prepared for a major quake "any day now" because the 4.0-magnitude quake that struck Tuesday occurred on a known fault line that is overdue for a large temblor.

“The past five major earthquakes on the fault have been about 140 years apart, and now we’re 147 years from that 1868 earthquake, so we definitely feel that could happen any time,” Brocher said, according to CBS in San Francisco.

* * *

“We keep a close eye on the Hayward Fault because it does sit in the heart of the Bay Area and when we do get a big earthquake on it, it’s going to have a big impact on the entire Bay Area,” Brocher said.
Tuesday's shaker was felt as far south as Santa Cruz and as far east as Livermore, but was strongest in the East Bay and South Bay, the USGS said.

The sad state of Canadian Geographic

The Sad Story of Canadian Geographic

Canadian Geographic magazine has been published for 85 years by the Royal Canadian Geographic Society (RCGS), a self-described "iconic non-profit organization" founded in 1929. Through the years, the magazine has established a respected brand as a sober periodical with a mandate "to explore and celebrate Canada's natural and human wonders."

But according to several former employees, Canadian Geographic has, under its current publisher and governance, strayed from that mission. In a series of posts, we will examine the magazine itself, its corporate-sponsored educational products and its connections to power in Ottawa.

* * *

"I asked that my name be taken off the masthead, and soon after, I resigned," says Alan Morantz, former senior editor of Canadian Geographic magazine.

Morantz, who worked on contract at the magazine for over three years, says that management abandoned the editorial policy of identifying sponsored content with an article in its December 2012 issue about polar research.

The research being featured was an initiative of the Weston Foundation, who also sponsored the article, according to Morantz.

"Previously we would have labeled a feature like this 'Special Section, in partnership with the Weston Foundation,'" he recalls. "But the disclaimer was changed right before publication to 'Special Report on Northern Research.' You don't take money from a source," he tells CANADALAND, "and pass off the resulting work as journalism."

The archived version of the article on Canadian Geographic's website contains no disclaimer at all.

* * *

Author and magazine journalist Curtis Gillespie says he had a similar experience, after which, he tells CANADALAND, "I vowed never to have anything to do with Canadian Geographic ever again,....

....

Kurt Kadatz, a spokesperson for the Calgary Stampede, confirms to CANADALAND that the Stampede entered into a partnership with Canadian Geographic in 2012 that included "content in Cdn Geo."

Gillespie says he expressed concern about the arrangement, but was promised editorial independence.

He visited the Calgary Stampede Ranch, spoke to a livestock handler, a veterinarian, academics, and activists, and delivered a thoughtful piece that was generally sympathetic to the Stampede. He did however learn that the Stampede bred horses specifically to be used as bucking broncos. These horses were regularly culled; those that didn't buck wildly enough were "disposed of." Gillespie included the detail in his piece, "Rodeo under Scrutiny."

What is the meaning of this?

Not long ago almost everyone I know started saying this weird sentence in French, "Volkswagen frappe une van". Apparently when you say it when pronouncing the V's it's supposed to sound like German or whatever.

But the geek I am, I decided to use some high piece of technology called Google Translate to find out the meaning of this sentence, and I got "Volkswagen hits a van".

But wait, what does this mean? Because a Volkswagen is technically a van... I'm confused. :confused: Maybe it is a sign that something bad will happen... like a Volkswagen crashing into a van in the middle of the highway? I'm scared, someone please explain this to me.

Advanced charts in Keynote

Keynote has pretty cool features but the various inspectors fall short of allowing you proper customisation.

In particular some labels can be too close to an axis or another line to be visible, you may want one data point to stand out, etc.

Is there a way to export a finished chart as objects that can be ungrouped and they played with individually? - Obviously the live link with data would be severed but it's what you would want in your 'finishing touch' version of a presentation or document.

The iScam: Con artists freeze iPad and iPhone users’ internet browsers and demand £50

Con artists freeze Apple's iPad and iPhone internet browsers and demand £50 | Daily Mail Online

Quote:

Apple users are under threat from an iPhone scam that sees them urged to call a number and pay up to £50 for a fix - or all their details will be stolen, it can be revealed. The issue - which appears to have started in the US at least nine months ago but has since spread to Britain - sees a ‘crash report’ message pop up while users are on the Safari internet app. The message appearing on the screen says: 'Warning iOS Crash Report - Due to a third party application in your phone, iOS crashed. Contact support for an immediate fix.’

Quote:

Users are then told to call one of a list of numbers - ‘1-800-480-4170’ in the US or ‘0800 279 6211’ or ‘0800 652 4895’ in the UK - and someone will then ask for their credit card details to make a payment to solve the issue. The person answering the phone says a third party has been removing all their details from their handset - and this can only be stopped by paying up to £30 ($47) in Britain, or $80 (£51) in the US

Quote:

Other users say the issue is caused by adverts infected with malicious code, causing the warning to appear on otherwise safe and respectable websites. One user named Dizzer88 wrote on the forum last November: ‘I too called the phone number to see what was going on. It went straight on hold when I called - didn't ring - and then when someone came on the line, it was a woman who I could barely hear due to the noise in the background. HOW TO BEAT THE iSCAMMERS If your Apple device is frozen by this warning message, take these steps: Press the Home button to exit Safari In Settings, enter Airplane Mode In Settings, look for Safari settings, and clear your internet browsing history and cookies Reopen Safari and the pop-up warning should have gone If it has, take your device out of Airplane Mode ‘She stated that my iOS crashed and was no longer something on my iPhone 5S and that a third party was at that time taking all my info off my phone - nice "scare tactic", eh?. ‘She then said for $80 though she could reinstall iOS and just needed my credit card number -yeah, okay. ‘So I said that was ridiculous as I had been using apps and my phone the whole time I was talking to her on speaker, and said I would call Apple Support directly. She told me they would say the same thing about having to pay to have iOS reinstalled on my phone. ‘I said "I highly doubt it" and told her I wouldn't pay the money and that she was essentially full of c***. She then said - probably after realising I wasn't buying any of it – “okay, ma'am” and hung up on me.’ An Apple spokesman told MailOnline today: 'This support page on our website details how iOS users can turn off some features in Safari to help protect their privacy and device from possible security risks on the Internet.'

The other I wasn't seeing in Finder so I turned to Disk Utility. I tried to mount the partition with no luck. When I tried to repair the disk I got an error saying something like "Backup as many fields are possible and reformat the drive"

Of course backing up the files on that drive was on my "To-Do List" and hasn't been done in months.

App store account help

Hi Gang, Wondering if someone could give me some ideas about an issue with my wife's iPhone... She's been using it for a couple years with no problem, using an existing hotmail account as her log in to the iTunes/App store. However she recently went back to school and I got her a MacBook Air to use for schoolwork. Right from the start we had problems getting the hotmail email account to sync, although the other functions worked fine (iMessage, FaceTime, etc.). After a week of flaky emails and no help from Apple Support, out of desperation I created an iCloud email account for her and moved the other services (iMessage, FaceTime) over to that... She never really bought anything on iTunes so that wasn't an issue and things have worked well, pretty much. The only hangup I've noticed is that even though she's logged into the iCloud account on the iPhone, when I try to update her Apps it asks me to enter the password from the Hotmail account that she used to use to access the App store. So the question is, what do I have to do to update her Apps or for the App store to recognize the new iTunes/App store iCloud account? Do I really have to delete Apps and then reload them or is there some other way?

Archbishop Desmond Tutu hospitalized

Archbishop Desmond Tutu admitted to hospital in Cape Town

Archbishop Desmond Tutu is being treated for an infection in a Cape Town hospital.

In a statement released by his charitable organisation, the Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation, his daughter the Reverend Canon Mpho Tutu said she hopes he will be home again soon.

No details were given on the nature of the 82-year-old's infection, but it was described as "persistent".

His admitting to hospital comes just a few days after he renewed his wedding vows to his wife, Nomalizo Leah, to mark their 60th wedding anniversary.

The retired Anglican bishop is an icon in his home country of South Africa and across the world due to his fight against apartheid, for which he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984.

Tutu has lived with prostate cancer for 15 years, and has had a number of other health problems in the last few years.

Manually add Location info to imported photos in Photos app

I am on Yosemite with the new Photos app. I imported a few photos emailed to me by a friend who had taken our pictures at a recent vacation.

His phone does not capture Location info, and I am trying to see how I can manually add location info for the "Places" classification. When I do "Get Info", I see how I can add "Faces" but there is no way I can see to add "Places".

Also, in the sidebar, I no longer see "Places" as an option as I used to in iPhoto.

I am sure I am missing something that's very simple to do and I am feeling stupid right now. Any help would be gratefully accepted. :)

Thanks and cheers

Some dead keys - MBP late-2011

This ain't good.

I have a personal laptop (late-2011 MBP) and a work laptop (mid-2014 Retina MBP, which I'm using to send this).

Last night I finished working on my personal MBP, plugged it in to charge, and went to sleep. Woke up this morning, opened the laptop and went to enter my password to login.

The top row of letter keys is dead.

DEAD!

So I can't login. No, I don't have an external keyboard.

I have rebooted the laptop a couple of times. Can't zap PRAM because two of the letters are in that row of dead keys.

Nothing spilled into the keyboard... no reason that I can think of for this to suddenly occur... no dirt visible...

This. Sucks.

And I'm in a city where Mac keyboards are not exactly plentiful... fastest option would be to order one from Apple Mexico, but I have emails that need to be dealt with *today*.

Crap.

Mac Mini won't boot, spinning wheel stops

This evening my Mac Mini acted up.

When trying to boot up - after having to shut down holding the power button, the Mini won't boot all the way.
I get the Apple logo, then thespinning wheel for a while and then the spinning wheels just stops and the Mac sits there.

I'm running 10.6.8 using an external FW800 drive as my main drive - the drive inside the Mini is too small and I think is shot.

I have a back up on an external FW800 drive, that does the same thing with the Mini.

But when I try to boot up with either external FW800 connected to a MacBook Pro, I can boot up on the externals no problem and also use them (like right now).
I ran disk permissions and also checked the external FW800 boot drive using Disk Utility - everything supposedly checked out.

Tried safe boot, same problem except it took longer to get there.

I assume something is wrong with the Mini, but what - and how to fix it.

Any suggestions?

How do I install Snow Leopard on a external hard drive?

I am repairing an old white intel iMac and I want to replace the faulty hard drive with a new hard drive with Snow Leopard OS via my 24" iMac running Yosemite. Yosemite will not let me install Snow Leopard on my external hard drive. I end up with the Snow Leopard install showing a large O with a cross through it and that is were it ends for me.

I have looked at the various You Tube tutorials but none address this issue of installing an older OS on what is for me an external hard drive to be eventually used as the hard drive for the old white intel iMac.

Suggestions gratefully accepted.

Thanks

recording live music: iPhone apps

I've been using a Zoom H1 recorder for my band's practice sessions so I can review songs, etc.

Is there an iPhone app equivalient to this device? All I need is something to record, not edit, mix, etc. It can't sound distorted and from what I recall of older iPhone apps, they either sounded distroted or you couldn't record over a certain amount of time, only a few songs at most.

What's out there now, paid or free? Debating whether or not to ditch my Zoom H1.

Apple Xserve Raid 14 bay server A1009 "info"

Good day all you mac gurus out there.

i'm soon going to get one of those "Apple Xserve Raid 14 bay server A1009" model and just wondering what can be done to this wonderful Server to make it upgradable! like how much storage can i put in there if i upgrade it to a 2.5" hdd with a SATA adapters?

Can I put a bigger HDD greater than 500GB? can I put a 1tb per bay? can i upgrade the CPU? Ram?

I don't want to go to Hardcore on the upgrade, but i wouldn't mind to upgrade the HDD as it will have none in there when i will get it.

I know that some of you will ask why so much storage? well i do a lot of Video editing and Audio editing, graphic design and a lot of back ups as i back up my movies and blue Rays and all my projects and even though i have already 10 tb, 8tb is already used.

So that is why i need a lot of Storage, so if there is a way to upgrade HDD greater than 500 gb per bay? that would be awesome. :D

Thank you

R.I.P. Roger Rees

Roger Rees, Nicholas Nickleby star and Cheers actor, dead at 71

Roger Rees, the lanky Tony Award-winning Welsh-born actor and director who made his mark onstage as Nicholas Nickleby and became a mainstay on Broadway playing Gomez in The Addams Family and Chita Rivera's doomed lover in The Visit, has died. He was 71.

Rees died Friday night at his home in New York after a brief illness, said his representative, Rick Miramontez. Rees had abruptly left The Visit in late May to undergo a medical procedure.

Rees played the snobbish Robin Colcord on TV's Cheers and the British ambassador, Lord John Marbury, in The West Wing. Other recent TV credits include Elementary and The Good Wife.

Cutting a SIM card to fit in new phone.

Hello everybody,

I just got an iPhone 5c from my brother since he bought himself the new iPhone 6. :D My old phone is an iPhone 4, with a Micro SIM card. So I transferred all my data and I did everything. But when I tried to put in the SIM card in the new iPhone, it didn't fit. :eek: My brother told me it can be cut to fit inside my new iPhone, but we don't have the proper tools to do it. So do any of you know how to do this properly without damaging the SIM card? :confused: Any instructions would be appreciated.

Thank you! :cool:

Apple is refreshing the iPod touch line.

Hey everyone! If you didn't know yet, last year there were some rumors about the iPhone 5c replacing the iPod touch. I even made a thread dedicated to it. But now, it turns out I was wrong... the iPod touch is not dead yet.

If you have updated to the latest version of iTunes (12.2) and plugged in your iPod, you were probably presented with this picture.
You can obviously tell that the blue colour of the iPod touch is different than the current model. Also, the small button for the strap on the bottom left corner of the device is gone.

As you know, the iPod touch didn't get any upgrades for three years and was basically abandoned by Apple. But if you look closely on the picture, you can clearly see that on the iPod touch's calendar app, the date is July 14th. Doesn't this give us a hint?

Well, it turns out this isn't some sort of coincidence. Some popular websites like 9to5mac.com and appleinsider.com posted articles about a *supposedly* upcoming refresh of the iPod line, on what day exactly? Yeah, you guessed it... 14th of July.

Here are the expected additions to the new iPod touch, from the websites I listed above.

• New colours: dark blue, dark pink and gold;
• A 64-bit processor;
• Small improvements to the camera.

Apple wouldn't have shown these pictures in their own software if these products were not going to come out, right? It would't make sense for them to put pictures of an inexistant device.

R.I.P. Omar Sharif

​Omar Sharif, 83, a Star in ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ and ‘Doctor Zhivago,’ Dies

Omar Sharif, the Egyptian actor who rode out of the Sahara in the 1962 screen epic “Lawrence of Arabia” into a glamorous if brief reign as an international star in films like “Dr. Zhivago” and “The Night of the Generals,” died on Friday in Cairo. He was 83.

His death, at a hospital, was caused by a heart attack, his agent, Steve Kenis, said.

Mr. Sharif — who later became as well known for his mastery of bridge as he was for his acting — was a commanding, darkly handsome presence on screen. He was multilingual as well, and comfortable in almost any role or cultural setting.

Mr. Sharif had acted in a number of Egyptian films before the British director David Lean added him to the cast of “Lawrence of Arabia,” a a freewheeling depiction of the real-life exploits of the British adventurer T.E. Lawrence, who led Arab fighters in a series of battles against Turkish occupiers. Peter O’Toole starred in the title role.

Best alternatives to Aperture?

I always used Aperture to edit and enhance my photos, but not long ago Apple stopped its development. (why!? :()

Since the app is no longer available and won't be getting any future updates I think it's time to switch to another app. Do any of you know some good alternatives to Aperture? I would like an app that lets me do about the same stuff that I could do in Aperture. Please don't name Photoshop, I don't want to pay every month for a software. I also don't want to use the built-in Photos app to edit photos because it doesn't have as much features as Aperture.

Google Chrome Listening In To Your Room

I don't recall this being posted before to ehMac, neither does the ehMac search function... so.....

Users of Chrome take particular note!!!

Google Chrome Listening In To Your Room Shows The Importance Of Privacy Defense In Depth

Quote:

Yesterday, news broke that Google has been stealth downloading audio listeners onto every computer that runs Chrome, and transmits audio data back to Google. Effectively, this means that Google had taken itself the right to listen to every conversation in every room that runs Chrome somewhere, without any kind of consent from the people eavesdropped on. In official statements, Google shrugged off the practice with what amounts to “we can do that”.

Quote:

Without consent, Google’s code had downloaded a black box of code that – according to itself – had turned on the microphone and was actively listening to your room.

Quote:

This episode highlights the need for hard, not soft, switches to all devices – webcams, microphones – that can be used for surveillance. A software on/off switch for a webcam is no longer enough, a hard shield in front of the lens is required. A software on/off switch for a microphone is no longer enough, a physical switch that breaks its electrical connection is required. That’s how you defend against this in depth. Of course, people were quick to downplay the alarm. “It only listens when you say ‘Ok, Google’.” (Ok, so how does it know to start listening just before I’m about to say ‘Ok, Google?’) “It’s no big deal.” (A company stealth installs an audio listener that listens to every room in the world it can, and transmits audio data to the mothership when it encounters an unknown, possibly individually tailored, list of keywords – and it’s no big deal!?) “You can opt out. It’s in the Terms of Service.” (No. Just no. This is not something that is the slightest amount of permissible just because it’s hidden in legalese.) “It’s opt-in. It won’t really listen unless you check that box.” (Perhaps. We don’t know, Google just downloaded a black box onto my computer. And it may not be the same black box as was downloaded onto yours. )

I need a touchscreen MacBook.

I mean, imagine being able to use your MacBook like an iPad. :rolleyes:

Apple really should have put a touchscreen to their newly introduced MacBook, considering the cost of the machine. :greedy:

I don't really know how Apple didn't think of that. Other companies like Microsoft added touch screens to their devices long ago, and I think Apple should follow.

The MacBook could have been a way more successful product if they added a touchscreen to it. I hope one day to be able to use my MacBook Pro without a trackpad, it would be such a good feeling. :D

What do you think about this? Do you want a touchscreen MacBook?

New display for Mac Pro?

Hi folks,

I'm running 2 x 24" Dells. They've been good to me, but one has some graying on the far right side. It's annoying. I'm beyond warranty and have tried a variety of googled fix-it-attempts.

So I've been looking at monitors - 4K and HDTV types.

Wondering if anyone has any experience with the LG 34 curved display.
In almost every review, I hear the word 'immersive' from the screen being that much closer and wrapped towards your eyes.

I've read that Dell also used the same LG screen, but has a 3 year warranty. However, apparently the software isn't so mac compatible. I guess the software allows for quick switching between screens or layouts? Still reading up on it.

I've heard good things for colour renditions as well from the LGs.

My main (heavy) use is video editing with a secondary use of photography.

Really ramping this research up with Amazon's "Prime Day" on the 15th.

I've thought about 2 x 24"s or 27"s, but if I can get a curved display and eliminate the bezeling in the middle of the screen, that would be helpful!

Especially when I'm editing - I should be able to have a huge amount of timeline available for skimming through quicker from L to R. That actually gets me excited! lol

TIA,
Keebler

Order of Canada (2015)

Although the Order of Canada has its share of "rogues" (to put it nicely), here's an appointment about which I cannot complain:

Six Nations actor inducted into Order Of Canada

Graham Greene, Oneida of Six Nations, has been selected as on of 100 new inductees into the Order of Canada for “achievements as a pioneering and versatile actor of the stage and screen.”

Greene’s acting career has seen him through four decades of stage, television and film. He is best known for is role in Dances With Wolves, for which received an Oscar nomination. Last fall Greene was awarded with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Dreamcatcher Gala.

Greene has appeared in several films throughout his career including the Twilight Saga, The Green Mile and Maina. He now stars as ‘Rafe McCawley’ in the Showcase Sci-Fi drama “Defiance”. This summer Greene is shooting a film in Canada with ‘The Help’s Octavia Spencer and Tim McGraw.

The Order of Canada will be presented to Greene during a ceremony at a later date.

Whole Home Surge Protection

At the end of june my house was hit with a surge that fired / ripped through my Network Cabinet.

Basically after reading about why it chose the cabinet rather than any other point in my house the math makes sense.

I have an AC outlet that is right beside my panel, which means the total length of electric cord the surge had to go through was 7 inches - meaning electricity always looks for the shortest distance to ground..

albeit, i had 4 UPS units connected to my outlet with my network evenly spread across for balanced load - it tore through my UPS units and fired most of my network components.

I won't get into details as what as damaged but I did call the manufactures of the various units, they immediately without hesitation - replaced all the affected UPS units with brand new models no questions asked..
As for my damaged equipment- i am dealing with the 'warranty' programs they offer.
[that will be another post when completed. ]

now after many weeks of beating my brain over what i thought was protection i have decided to go buy this at home depot

Surgetrap | Eaton Electrical surgetrap Whole Home Surge Protector | Home Depot Canada

I will install in at the hight point in my panel with shortest/least amount of wiring needed to patch it in. The idea behind it- it will cover your whole home in future.. it is a Type 2 surge protection meaning covers inside protection - there is type 1 which covers a hit greater hit but 'before' it comes in the house - but that is beyond my grasp of dealing with that connection. so this will have to do.

I do have to say, since the Liberals have been in power, more so over the last 3 years our electric system in the province is gone to pooh in a quick way.. my next project is installing a inverter - so that we can use our car as a generator - seems like an easy project if you know what you are doing.

Security Update… Reboot… toast….

So just got home from a weekend away. Woke up my Mid 2010 13" (7,1) Macbook pro to check on a few things. After working on it a few minutes i see the notification there is a security update. I say go a head and do it, it's supper time no biggie!……. wrong….. :-(

Come back after to it wanting to reboot, say okay…. it reboots and then … BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEP BEEEEEP BEEEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP… and a lovely black screen…. followed by several colourful beeps's of my own. :)

As far as i can tell with some research, 3 short, 3 long, 3 short beeps is a corrupted firmware? <insert yay or nay from those in more knowledge then i have>.

That same research indicates one can download a Firmware restore CD from Apple for such an event and fix it yourself. According to said instructions you simply have to go to the apple download section and get the CD. Simple in theory and that took about 15 minutes of various search terms to find the "Firmware Restoration CD" that didn't give me 100+ options.
Unfortunately every one it did find (1.9 all the way down to 1.4) was for a variety of other models, none of which are the Mackbook Pro, Mid 2010 13" (7,1) variety…

Before i go through the hassle of calling Apple, and having a lovely conversation about how my mac is out of warrantee (and apple care) and try to inform them it was their software update that has corrupted by firmware (if that is indeed the case), can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Deleting multiple emails at once on iPhone

For some strange reason, every single e-mail that I've ever received has decided to appear in my inbox. Is there a way to delete multiple e-mails at once instead of having to do it individually? Also, it appears that I've deleted some e-mails before but they keep coming back.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

I'd like to output my MBA to two monitors, anyone have experience doing this?

Is there a dvi splitter or something that is used for this?

Thoughts on routers

I had a bit of a power issue over night, and my AirPort router may have joined the choir invisible.:-( I have to try a reset this evening, but, if it comes to it, I may just have to replace it.

As I see it, I have 3 options:

1 - 3rd party router;
2 - AirPort Express;
3 - AirPort Extreme.

Price doesn't appear to to an issue as all wireless routers I've see are in a similar price range. My current AirPort has been flawless since I got it about 7 - 8 years ago, so I'm biased in favour of the product. As my sig says, I'm running a 21.5" iMac with OSX Snow Leopard. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts and opinions on my conundrum.

Thanks!:)

Question: CPP Death Benefit

Curious if anyone here who has collected this and how long it took?

My father passed and we filled out the paperwork the same week. It's now hit 20 weeks since then.

CPP says 8-12 weeks for processing.

Estate is all settled, this is our last item ironically. Disgusting really. Someone without means would have long buried their loved one and not received this money would be up the creek (not our situation luckily).

Also lovely that this $2500 is a taxable "benefit".

Posting in classified

Hey there :) Is there any chance a moderator could allow me to post my ad to the classifieds? I'm selling a late-2014 iMac with retina display for a great price and I just came across your site. I hope someone in the community would be interested in making a deal.

Downgrading iTunes 12 back to 11

I installed iTunes 12 yesterday and it messed bunch of stuff up. I found what looks to be a decent site that describes reversing it all here:

How to downgrade iTunes 11 to iTunes 10 in Mac OS X - News - PC Advisor

I'll be using a Time Machine backup to replace it all. It looks pretty straight forward but does anyone have any other words of caution before I do this? Thanks.

WordPress won't display anmated GIF

I developed an animated GIF for someone to use as a WordPress header. I know that if you provide too large an image, then the GIF is resampled as a single frame and stops animating. I reset the parameters of the largest acceptable image in Wordpress and provided an image of exactly that size. However, it still won't animate when uploaded.

Any suggestions?

The theme is "Get Noticed" although I don't believe that matters.

Sneaky Inflation

Was in Wal Mart today and noticed several brands of Motor Oil, appeared to be sold in 5 litre containers but some were actually 4.7 litres and one brand was 4.4 litres.

Now the 4.4 is a real irritant as the crank case on my mini-van holds 4.75 litres so if I picked that one I would have to purchase an additional litre.:ptptptptp

Apple adds TRIM support for aftermarket SSDs

Apple adds TRIM support for aftermarket SSDs in OS X 10.10.4

Quote:

Some four years after adding TRIM support for first-party solid state drives to OS X, Apple incorporated the command for aftermarket drives as part of Tuesday's OS X 10.10.4 update. Spotted by AppleInsider readers, the new capability allows users to enable TRIM functionality on third-party SSDs without resorting to unsanctioned workarounds or software. Prior to the change, Apple only supported TRIM on original Mac SSDs.

Needs to be enabled in terminal, but it's still about time that this was added!

Oil Burners!

Wow and I thought the clunkers I drove in my youth were guzzlers dripping a quart every 1500 miles or so.

Consumer Reports finds some newer cars burn too much oil

Quote:

... The magazine says that standards for certain Audi and BMW cars say that it's reasonable to burn a quart of oil every 600 to 700 miles. Subaru considers one quart burned for every 1,000 to 1,200 miles to be acceptable, Consumer Reports said. ...

For the record my Toyota four banger with almost 200,000 Miles on it is using about 1/4 of a quart every 2500 Miles and that is about double its consumption when it was much younger.
