anyone ever had a problem (iphon4) with losing their whole address list, just cuz of a dead battery?

battery was dead, charged it and as i´ve turned on the phone again, my whole address list was gone
pics and everything else is still on it though…just my address list! wtf?...

Strange. Did you search for it using the search function? Have you tried a hard reboot? Have you restored from backup yet?

Is the retina display on the Macbook Pro worth the extra $600?

[seanocono]

I love the Retina on my 15" MBP. After using it since June, I have a hard time looking at other screens. That's a really subjective question though.

Anybody try Phillips Hue?

Kinda neat.

I finally got an iPhone 5 today. I didn't think my 4 was that slow, but there's a big speed difference.

I use it on all my machines now. It makes a huge difference to using a computer at night, in my opinion. Shame they can't do a version for the iPad, that would be awesome.

definetly into the Icam concept

If you're willing to jailbreak, they've actually developed it for iOS.  I use it on my phone and iPad and love it…

[michaeljcr]

Sadly, I don't fancy jail breaking the iPad, especially as it's still under warranty. I bought a blue light kilter to use at night on the screen. No idea if it helps, as it only arrived today.

Finn, turn on iCloud syncing, you'll never lose your contacts.

I think Finn could still manage too.  When it comes to tech, he has the opposite of the Midas touch….
