gotRICE? Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Juice Defender, in its simplest forms, turns off mobile data when the phone is locked. And re-connects it every 15 mins (or as you set it) to sync emails, IM's etc etc. It saves a hell of a lot of battery life if you dont need to receive emails or messages immediately. If you get the uber version, it can learn where your WiFi locations are and automatically connect to them when your in the vicinity, and auto disconnect when you leave. Based on course mobile site locations. Its pretty dam good, Have used it for a year or so now.

Booki Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Do you get many MMS's? They can chew data if the MMS settings are not entered correctly. Or if you are checking your usage on your phone, make sure syncing is off Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/399395-are-you-a-pc-or-mac-user/page/14/#findComment-6562249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booki Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 And in reply to the actual topic of the thread... Bought a macbook about a year or two ago to try it out at work. Used it for about a year, got given a PC notebook from the company i work for. Since then, never went back. Depends on use as too which one you prefer/use imo. That said, I will never buy a iPhone, they give you iAids Posted these vids in another thread, but maybe some other users in here might get a kick out of it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/399395-are-you-a-pc-or-mac-user/page/14/#findComment-6562255 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayuri Krab Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) I bought an HP 13" Ultra book & as far as I can see it gets similar battery life (~5-8 hours per charge), has SSD + i5 & I paid just $610 for a display model (even brand new they are ~$900) compared to $1k+ Apple want to charge for their ultra books & gimme windows 7 over that Apple pos OS anyday.

Funny how I never had any major issue with any of my computers (now all running windows 7), 1 desktop for gaming and 3 laptops (1 gaming spec one, 1 old one for Uni & this ultrabook). Only real issue I had was my asus gaming laptop had the GSOD issue, which wasn't a windows problem but a firmwire issue on the graphics chip (ATI 5870m) & a update custom firmwire fixed the issue. & I just use some basic free A/V software with the default windows firewall, I found the people who always gets random virus (many family friends' computers) are those who just click on any random link without thinking (or don't know better) which in that case even the best security software isn't going to help, unless you restrict user access which will just cause them to rage at you saying that "you broke their computer" or "they can't do what they used to do" Edited October 5, 2012 by Mayuri Krab Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/399395-are-you-a-pc-or-mac-user/page/14/#findComment-6566470 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to run Trend Micro Housecall every couple of months, but it never found anything so I don't even do that anymore.
