    Manchester move

    Haha, yeah, the food is ace. It's a winning combination: great location, excellent food, alcohol and pool. You don't need to go anywhere else!

    Manchester move

    This! I used to work for Apple in the Arndale, and this was the best place to head for post-work drinks. The Bay Horse in the NQ is also pretty good, too.

    Apple Warranty Question

    Was it a 3G iPad? We weren't able to service iPhones that were purchased outside of the UK (aside from a period where this ban was lifted), so it might have fallen under that. However, I quit my job as a Genius just before the first iPad was released so I can't confirm.

    Work Canada 2011

    The BUNAC flight I took in 2008 had a total of 6 people on it; me, my two mates and three randomers that didn't bother socialising. When I do it again I'm booking private flights.

    Work Canada 2011

    It works on a points system, with points given for everything from fluency in English and French to what level of education you have. I am just below the point barrier. I need between one and two years full-time work (with no breaks) in order to apply, and I started my grad job back in November...

    Work Canada 2011

    I did this in 2008 with two friends. We decided upon Toronto and had an amazing time. We were there for 9 months in total, but it was long enough for me to realise that Canada is where I want to live. I'm working towards emigration in about 15months time, which is when I'll have enough points...

    Macbook refresh rumours....?

    Think I might take the plunge this time. I have a Unibody MacBook (yep, they did exist :D ) and it's done me well for the last 2 1/2 years, but I would quite like a bump up to a 15" MBP, especially if the video performance is up to scratch.

    Apple Interview

    95% of my job as a Specialist was spent talking about Windows vs OS X, or explaining how to make playlists in iTunes, or how to quickly edit photos in iPhoto etc etc. It's all very well asking about Xcode, but in all honesty who else is going to come in and ask that? The ideal Specialist is...

    Apple Interview

    I used to work in the Arndale store and loved every minute of it. The job itself was alright, but it was the people there that made it for me. I miss them a great deal.

    Canon SX210?

    Weird... I'm in exactly the same position, and have been looking at the same camera! I can't decide between the SX210 IS or the Panasonic Lumix TZ10. Both similar price range, and have similar features (though the Lumix has GPS and a better sensor). I have 2 weeks to decide. Gah!

    agghhh, i'm getting the itch to get an imac 27" :(

    @Hades - I did think about a Henge dock, but I'm definitely going to go down the iMac route, so I won't be docking my MacBook in the future. It'll be a portable second machine. @Clown - It's not so easy to upgrade the HDD in an iMac. It requires you to pull the glass off the front with suction...

    agghhh, i'm getting the itch to get an imac 27" :(

    I'm waiting for the refresh, too. I'm currently using a Unibody MacBook hooked up to a 22" external display, but I've frequently needed the power increase, and I'm getting annoying at having to unplug everything every time I need to take it somewhere.

    Can't get iPhone 3G out of recovery

    Hold power/home together. After 8 seconds, take your finger off power and keep holding home. If you have done it correctly, the iPhone will appear in iTunes but the screen will be off. Then do a restore.

    Amazon delivery "Usually dispatched within 1 to 2 months." What?!

    Amazon only charge on dispatch. Why not order it today, and see what the situation is once they're back to work post-Xmas?

    Feel a current when iPad charging

    Felt this on a few unibody MacBooks and MacBook Pros. Never been an issue.

    Anyone not use a credit card ?

    I have had the LloydsTSB Airmiles duo cards (AMEX + MasterCard running off the same account) for just over a year. It's fantastic. I've accrued enough points for a free flight to anywhere in zone two (most of Europe). Before that I had (and still have, but never use) a Barclaycard. There's no...

    some must get programs for new mac?

    In addition to those listed: Handbrake - DVD ripping VLC - For when QT + Perian + Flip4Mac can't handle it (very rare) Caffeine - Stop your Mac going to sleep! (I've also heard about InsomniaX, but I've always used Caffeine)

    Just replaced the new iTunes icon with one of the older, classic versions. Much preferred the oldschool green icon!
