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.

all the windows computers i have had have been hammered with viruses and all sorts of shit that hasn't raised its ugly head with any of the mac puters i have owned.

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.

i reiterate that's your problem

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
