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.

on the samsung galaxy s2 i deactivate data network mode, yet I'm still getting charged for downloads during that time. quite irritated cause by the time i realise whats happening I'm out of credit...

thinking of trying the new red bull mobile network...seems ok.

mrs has the same phone and she don't have it either...

but has only started within the last 2months... more so pissed about the dropout issue, connects then i load one page and when i reply to here or another site, connection has dropped and takes a good 5-10 mins before reconnecting.

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 ;)

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"

^^ Exactly

i personally don't run any anti virus software, but i don't be clicking any links even if it looks like it comes from a friend

Aye, I don't run any form of security, and haven't done for a decade. I used to run Trend Micro Housecall every couple of months, but it never found anything so I don't even do that anymore.

i don't run any a/v or firewall software on my mac, still no harmful attacks.

mrs's toshi gets attacked at least once a week. run symantec on that but still its a shit fight.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
