My wife and I are celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary this weekend out of town, and while searching for a camera store in our area …
One of my favorite models of tripods is the C# Multi Page Content.
According to this post on MacRumors, Apple listened to Windows users and changed the way Apple’s Auto update works so that it’s more clear that Safari isn’t an update — it’s a new application.
You’ll recall my complaint though included the fact that Apple was "pre-selecting" Safari for download, rather than requiring me to make that decision.
They may have changed the UI to better indicate that Safari wasn’t an update, but Safari remains checked for automatic download. Lame, lame, lame Apple. Try try again.
Oh, and one more rant — Apple: We don’t need another web browser for Windows.
My backback I carry daily and on trips was extra heavy this morning. I was doing a bit of packing for an upcoming trip (trying to see what would fit, what wouldn’t) — and after filling my backpack with the necessities and hefting it onto my back, my wife turned to me and pointed out how heavy the backpack looked.
I emptied the various nooks and crannies to see what I was actually carrying. I’ll spare you a photograph of the pandemonium that is my backpack, but I will say that if your bag contains things like mine (did), it might be time to lighten the load:
What’s the silliest thing you carry around that you don’t need? I’m not a pack-rat at all … so I find it funny that I’ve been carrying around all of this unnecessary weight for so long!

Most of the changes in the upgrade were positive, but the coupon code was the critical one: people started to think twice about whether they were paying too much because there are discount coupons out there that they do not have. By removing the discount code from the new version (B), conversion-rate increased 6.5% relative to the old version (A).
Coupon code fields often make me think I’m not getting the best deal I could be when I encounter them as part of the check-out process on a web site. (I hate it when someone in a retail business asks me, "Do you have any coupons today" and I answer no — as I’m sure that I must be one of the 3 lame customers of the day who do not have a coupon ….").
(I’m trying to sell my MacBook Pro laptop, and haven’t wanted to activate my copy of Vista Ultimate until the last possible moment, hence I wanted to extend my trial license as long as I can. I have found the warning dialog about activation in Vista to be inaccurate by more than a week …).
From a command prompt in Windows, type:
slmgr -xpr
You’ll need to wait for 5-10 seconds …
The answer appears ….
I’ve noticed that in repeated runs of this tool, the specific time the grace period ends shifts from run to run. So, don’t wait until the last possible moment. :)
Remember that if you want to extend the Vista trial license, you need to run this command (as an Administrator):
slmgr -rearm
Wait for the acknowledgement (typically 5-15 seconds), then you must reboot your Vista machine for the extension to take effect.
