I still think the Laptop is in a different place from the phone /tablet and will be for a good while yet.
On the Laptop while sitting at home I'd would usually have a load of things going at the same time, loads of web pages, one or two poker tables and various Words with friends games, chats, google hangouts, music etc.
On the road or out and about I'm happier with the limited multitasking of the iPad or the phone.
The iPad is fairly handy but I find very little specific use for it, mostly it seems to be just a big screen version of the phone and one that I can do far less stuff on. Not being able to move files around and not being able to stream from the web the whole Apple experience is a dealbreaker for me. I just completely fail to see any advantage to renting a box that is owned by Apple over having your own device.
I'd guess that the way things are going I'm quite likely to end up with something around the size of the 7 inch Galaxy Tablet as a portable device that happens to make phone calls rather than using both.
Though having said that my prediction for tablets is that they are going to become so common and so cheap that you will have different ones in different places tuned for different puropses. One in the car, one stuck to the fridge for shopping lists, to do lists clock and calendar etc. One in the Bedroom for Alarm, radio, streaming and one in the Jacks obv for ...well whatever turns you onTurning millions into thousands

But as they sail through the blackness, humanity's most-traveled spacecraft, the Voyager probes, have learned the lines are anything but clear. The edge of the solar system may not be a smooth edge at all, but a turbulent moat of roiling magnetic bubbles.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

I got one of these for Christamas..... http://www.yarvik.com/en/products/ta...lets_8/TAB310/ Its a Yarvik Tablet. Are they any good?
As a very non techy person I would like some advice on how to use this. Can I set up an Android account for getting Apps? How do I do this?
There seems to be something called NetJar for getting apps installed on it but it doesnt look that good.
Ive seen people watching films and TV on tablets while playing poker, id love to be able to do this. Is it easy to stick a DVD I already have on it or do I need to Download and if so where can I do that?! I really am a bit of an idiot when it comes to this stuff.
Any help much appreciated.....Turning millions into thousands

Looking forward to a child free weekend, himself is heading up to Derry to see his mam for the weekend and taking Mia.
So for me a weekend of spring cleaning, cant wait ( sad really) spent a fortune on cleaning products yesterday.
When all that is done I am gonna watch the series The Inbetweeners for the first time and then play online all night. And stay in bed all day tomorrow and do the same tomorrow night.
OOh cant wait.Her sky-ness

Basically, what happened was..

Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!
"Since the dawn of man" is really not that long,
As every galaxy was formed in less time than it takes to sing this song.
A fraction of a second and the elements were made.
The bipeds stood up straight,
The dinosaurs all met their fate,
They tried to leap but they were late
And they all died (they froze their asses off)
The oceans and pangea
See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya
Set in motion by the same big bang!
It all started with the big BANG!
It's expanding ever outward but one day
It will cause the stars to go the other way,
Collapsing ever inward, we won't be here, it wont be hurt
Our best and brightest figure that it'll make an even bigger bang!
Australopithecus would really have been sick of us
Debating out while here they're catching deer (we're catching viruses)
Religion or astronomy, Encarta, Deuteronomy
It all started with the big bang!
Music and mythology, Einstein and astrology
It all started with the big bang!

One for the IT crowd - messing about with free trials of Xara & Dreamweaver and I'm able to check how it looks on various browsers through a URL that appears to correspond to where the files are saved. Any way I can put these on a test URL that everyone in the office can look at? They're saved in my H drive - would putting them in the shared drive make the URL work for everyone?

All the talk of VHS and DVDs reminds of many years ago when I grew up in Tipp, I was around 15/16 ish and the highlight of my week was waiting for the Video van to call which was every Friday. I could not wait.
I used to hang out the bedroom window from 6pm so I could be first to get into the tiny van. The first thing out of my mouth was "Hi John any news ones this week ?" as in copies.
"yup he would say have loads this week, have you seen 16 candles, st elmos fire" these were my favorite films ( the brat pack as they were called back in the day, who were a bunch of actors including Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald,.
The price of the films was 7 videos for a fiver for the week. ah fond memoriesHer sky-ness

love this from the FAQ
Is Banksy just a big brand these days? Do you even paint your own pictures?
It’s not supposed to be a brand, which is why people in advertising think it’s such a good one. I paint it all myself unless its illegal, in which case I’ve never seen any of it before, your honour.

I see Darron Gibson has moved on to the Toffees for peanuts. About 18 months after he should really have left anyway. I wonder how much Everton pay compared to what Sunderland offered at the start of the season?
I wonder how much game time he'll have in a midfield that already has when fully fit: Rodwell, Cahill, Fellaini, Osman, Drenthe, Coleman, Bilyaletdinov and Donovan (for the moment) ?
