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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
