BBC video clips stopped working
About two weeks ago the in-page vids on my BBC news site <http://news.bbc.co.uk/> stopped functioning. It only seems to affect the BBC,- the Guardian and others work OK. It affects all my browsers, Firefox, Safari, iCab. Is there something special about the way the BBC encodes these video clips? Any suggestions? ... 2 Jul 2010 16:52

Borrowing an iPod
I want to borrow an iPod, and back it up so that it can be restored completely to the state it was in when I got it. Then I want to wipe it and start from scratch with it while I borrow it. Is that possible? And how can I make sure that I back it up properly without any disasters? Daniele ... 1 Jul 2010 18:59

Exposé stops working?
I'm starting to notice that my various Expos� functions (show Desktop especially) stop working for me from time to time. Neither the Better Touch Tool actions nor the keyboard shortcuts work. A log out/in again cures it for a while. Can't seem to pinpoint a cause. Anyone else seeing this? 10.6.4 Jim -- "M... 1 Jul 2010 16:43

PiP for iPad?
I've been using PiP for quite a while now <http://www.pleasantsoftware.com/pip/index.shtml> but what I'd really like is something like that that can send the camera's video stream to an iPhone/iPad (local network only would be fine). Anyone know of such a thing? I know Evocam can do it but it's a tad pricy ($30)... 12 Jul 2010 21:51

Bettertouchtool
At last, finally, my new iMac should be delivered by JL, next Wednesday. Woo-hoo! I've asked in the past about being able to assign a double click to one of the buttons; it would really make using it much better. I was pointed at BetterTouchTool. Is this still the dog's bollocks, mousewise? -- Peter ... 1 Jul 2010 12:14

Gyroscope and GPS?
Will iPhone 4 GPS software be able to make adequate use of the new gyroscope to make a reasonable estimate to your position when you can't get a GPS signal (like in a tunnel)? I'm guessing yes as far as turns go - so if you come out of a tunnel and, before it re-establishes a GPS fix you immediately turn left in... 3 Jul 2010 20:05
