    Mac Mini OSX server setup, multiple drive caddy?

    Hi, I have a fully Apple-equipped house and am looking to setup a server in my cupboard for iTunes and streaming films with Plex. As it's just sharing data streams, I'm thinking of buying a mid-2010 Mac Mini, as it can run the latest OSX, then fitting an SSD for system files and maxing the...

    Who is responsible for upgrading outdated, slow phone lines?

    Hey, I just moved into the centre of Cambridge, to their 'flagship development', CB1. 'Flagship Development' of the UK's home for technology startups and 'maximum of 5mb internet connection' are two mutually exclusive statements. They are non-compatible. One cannot be true, if the other is. I...

    Windows 7 company laptop: Keeps going into standby, then HDMI out signal is lost?

    Predictably, their IT guy logged on via remote desktop and proceeded to play with all the same settings I already have. Clearly the option to not be logged off every 15 minutes is logged out; and the Windows 7 HDMI disconnect thing seems to have no fix. IT departments seem to exist to ruin...

    Windows 7 company laptop: Keeps going into standby, then HDMI out signal is lost?

    I'm field-based and an hour from my office.. Not massively confident they'll be helpful either.

    Windows 7 company laptop: Keeps going into standby, then HDMI out signal is lost?

    Hi, I just received my new company laptop - a Windows 7 Fujitsu machine, with a high resolution screen. When I'm home, I also connect it to a 1080p LCD monitor via HDMI, to have dual screens. Unfortunately, I get logged out to the McAfee password screen after perhaps 15-20 minutes of...

    P Link Nano TL-WR702N wireless router won't let me log in?

    Yay! That did the trick! My neat little Nano wifi is now called 'Nano WIFI' and has a simple, memorable password. Ready to travel! Many thanks!

    P Link Nano TL-WR702N wireless router won't let me log in?

    Hey, how do I do that? I have both Windows and OSX available.. Whichever's easiest! I should mention, we have a Linksys WAG320N in the hallway, which runs via underground ethernet to a Netgear router in my room. I've tried connecting my TP Link Nano into both the Linksys and Netgear...

    P Link Nano TL-WR702N wireless router won't let me log in?

    Hey, I just picked up a TP Link Nano TL-WR702N wireless router, for use in hotel suites etc. to give my iPhone/iPad wireless. It seems to work fine, but naturally I want to change the nasty default SSID and password to something memorable. I am given the IP address 192.168.0.254 to type...

    Cheap, practical Blackberry (or similar Nokia) QWERTY business phone for Outlook?

    Actually, I just setup our Exchange Server and VPN on my iPhone 4 and it's KILLER. So I'll keep it all on one phone for now (with business phone calls from the Nokia) then when iPhone 5 comes out I'll move my home SIM card into that and my business one into the iPhone 4 so I have an iPhone for...

    Cheap, practical Blackberry (or similar Nokia) QWERTY business phone for Outlook?

    My boss has no problem with us accessing emails outside the company, hence we have laptops to take everywhere. It's a question of getting approval to pay for us to have Blackberrys, which my boss actually wants. I just called IT and he said it should be fine if I buy a Blackberry with an...

    Cheap, practical Blackberry (or similar Nokia) QWERTY business phone for Outlook?

    Right. I know my manager definitely has a BlackBerry. Not sure if he would have some kind of special service or the same as me? Then I need to know if my phone contract from them would support it too. Either way, sounds like I'm best off speaking to the IT team on Monday first!

    Cheap, practical Blackberry (or similar Nokia) QWERTY business phone for Outlook?

    Hmm. Blackberry is looking most likely currently, a few 8800 series phones around? I've already said I cannot tolerate Android. That's not up for debate.

    Cheap, practical Blackberry (or similar Nokia) QWERTY business phone for Outlook?

    Argh, you know you're struggling to find information when your own posts come up in Google searches! I just want to know if the E71 can handle Outlook properly (email folders, calendars, contacts) and/or which other phones do this well. Surely I can find a two-three years old model which may...

    Cheap, practical Blackberry (or similar Nokia) QWERTY business phone for Outlook?

    Hmm. Does Windows Phone 7.5 handle business functions like Outlook calendars and email? Looking at an E72 at the moment.. Would like to keep it under £100! Under £70 would be especially good.

    Cheap, practical Blackberry (or similar Nokia) QWERTY business phone for Outlook?

    Hey, I've just started as a sales executive for a publishing company. At home I have the entire Apple product line (and nothing but); but have been issued with a Dell Windows notebook and Nokia phone for business, so have resolved to keep a Windows ecosystem for the company and Apple for...

    iMac vs Macbook Pro?

    One criticism of the iMac no one has mentioned, is that unlike the MBP you can't easily upgrade the hard drive - whether that's an issue is your call. I just stuck a 750Gb Hybrid Seagate drive in my Macbook in a minute and it's a great speed upgrade. Turns out it's more effort than it's worth...

    ASUS VH226 automatically dimming every few days?

    I use it in my office purely for Outlook, internet and word so wouldn't notice. I do recall slight backlight bleed when I got it - but now I have a 27" iMac at home so it's fine : )
