      You know the ipod shuffle ?

      When its charging , connected to the pc, mac, whatever, does the orange light flash forever or should it eventually stop and go green ?

      Blinking orange indicates that the unit is syncing with iTunes or that disk use was enabled in iTunes. In this state, iPod shuffle may be charging or fully charged. Check the charge status icon next to the iPod shuffle in iTunes or eject iPod shuffle from iTunes but leave it connected to USB and determine if the status light changes to solid green or solid orange.

            This computer doesn't actually have a rightful spot yet. After years of desktop PC this seems so portable. All you need is a power socket, I am with it in the study one minute and in front of the TV the next its driving my partner bonkers

                      ^My brother just bought one of the other powder coated models and it started to chip almost immediately.

                        From Element? Their cases are anodized…anodized aluminum doesn't chip, it wears through, like denim fading. Is it possible he got a diff brand or a knock off?

                          Some models are powder coated/painted. In the above description, those have a gloss powder coat.

                          The one my bro bought is http://www.elementcase.com/Vapor-Pro-White-Edition-iPhone-Case-p/api4-1113-w3ww.htm

                          I guess this one is "acrylic paint." Powder coat would be better than typical acrylic (maybe they updated the process), but the anodized ones are still the best.

                          Bro sent that one back and upgraded to a spectra. I'm rocking the chroma on mine.

                              We've been buying directly from element. They take forever to respond to any sort of correspondence (like a week), but I generally prefer to buy from the source whenever possible.

                                Anyone got the Macbook Air? I'd be really interested to hear opinions/reviews of the 11" and 13" models. In particular, how good they are for day/overnight trips and whole weeks away from home.

                                M.

                                  No probs whatsoever with a week away.

                                    As do I, however, I haven't had any issues dealing with Tekcases. Emails are responded to the same day (sometimes within a few minutes)

                                    They even took back the carbon fiber backplates I used already because it interfered with reception

                                      Cool. I thought it might be a good work option if the new folks are Mac friendly. I'll only be out a few days a week most of the time, and can use my desktop when at home for most things.

                                          I must experiment with iCloud, I've already got a mobile me account, I just haven't looked into it yet. I'll probably end up getting stuck with a Dell or Thinkpad, based on previous jobs. Now all I have to do is decide which job to take…

                                          On the plus side, whatever their IT preferences, they're all denim friendly dress-code wise!
