Captivate - Gingerbread 2.3 - AT&T Community Support:
'via Blog this'
The fix for GPS on the Captivate is simple - it took me a long time to find it. AT&T was no help. All they did was tell me that they don't support GPS on the Captivate - a total bu**s**t response. If that's the case, how can they charge you a monthly fee for navigation/maps??????????
All you have to do is download the Any Cut application, open it and create a shortcut to the activity Lbstestmode, then open Lbstestmode and click on SUPL/CP Settings and change your server to supl.google.com, port 7276. Once you've done that, go outside and bring up something like the GPS status app - mine now locks on to 8 satellites in about 15 seconds.
That's it! It works!
PS - the SUPL server (location server) that was set in 2.1, 2.2 (and probably also will be in 2.3) is just plain slow and bad. There are plenty of other phones that have this same exact problem. If you are a geek and are capable of editing the GPS config data on your own, then the instructions to do that are here (it's for T-Mobile, but the instructions are the same for your Captivate):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1240352
So, when and if you upgrade to 2.3, you'll have to go in and make this fix again (change the SUPL server name).
The problem is that the location server that AT&T (and some others) use to feed location data to the GPS software in your phone stinks! There are other location servers that you could use, but I am very happy with google's free supl.google.com.

Dog Sitting Exchanges? - Mutts Welcome (Colorado Springs, CO) - Meetup: "I really like my Dog-Sitter who was recommended by one of Sandy's co-worker's and her name is 'Debbie the Dog Sitter', and you can reach her at 719-473-1139-she is great! She requires the usual updated shots, and she's located on the Central part of town and charges only $14.00 for a 24 hr. period.
Hope this helps.

Gingerbread -Android, hd7 wp7
Just saw the new gingerbread Android OS on an htc device at a t-mobile store and it looks really nice. Im not impressed easy but was impressed it was really snappy. Also really liked the hd7 wp7 phone. I'm sure glad these other OS's are keeping pressure on Apple. Looking forward to iOS 5 for my iPhone an iPad 2 coming in the fall. Lots of nice improvements. Might even consider getting an apple tv.

List of installed iPhone apps
You can generate a list of the apps in your iTunes (not necessarily the ones currently installed on your phone) by selecting the Applications Library and using the iTunes File menu Print command. Use the "Song Listing" and "Custom" theme to generate just a list of the apps names.

Best Remote Desktop App - Page 24 - Apple iPad Forum: "Splashtop"
Splashtop is not really meant for that kind of thing. You have to use the right tool for the job. What Splashtop does, and does better than any other remote app at the moment, is perform FAST. Video, Flash, sound... it's like being at the remote PC. So if that speed is what you want, you can get it with Splashtop.
I often DO want that speed.... so if I can't get in via Splashtop to my Windows box (no issues with my Mac) I simple get the Windows box going with iTap RDP. Now if I was remoting in for maintenance and not entertainment I would be using RDP in the first place, and not Splashtop.
You don't even have to use a paid RDP app to kick start the Windows box. You can use one of the free RDP apps... or VNC.

Lock your Mac OS X screen from the menu bar by adding lock icon – MacDailyNews - Welcome Home: "Lock your Mac OS X screen from the menu bar by adding lock icon"

Wouldn’t it be nice, especially in an office or educational setting to be able to lock your screen from the Mac OS X menu bar? Here’s how to do it:
1. Launch the “Keychain Access” application located in /Applications/Utilities.
2. Choose “Show Status in Menu Bar” from the View menu.
3. Now you have a lock in the menu bar. Use this menu to:
Lock the screen (activates Screen Effects which requires your password to unlock screen).
Lock or unlock your Keychain.
Launch the Keychain Access application.

Code signing is required for product type… - MacRumors Forums
Code signing is required for product type… - MacRumors Forums
After downloading sample code projects from apple, the first problem in building the sample is that code signing is enabled.
1) Just disable it by selecting "don't code sign" in the project settings (code signing section) instead of "iPhone Developer".
2) 2nd problem is that the "target platform" in the upper right corner of the main project window declares it can't find the right platform. This can be corrected also in the project settings: Base SDK in the Architectures section.
3) IMPORTANT: you might need to close and re-open the project after changing these settings.

(comment) WP7 update with faster app load times, copy and paste is real; release date remains nebulous -- Engadget
WP7 update with faster app load times, copy and paste is real; release date remains nebulous -- Engadget
My post on this:
Lots of long comments here so I'm guessing this will get lost in the shuffle, but....
I was a long time Window Mobile user/developer all the way back to before it was a phone (just a PDA). I now am a iphone4 user. I went to AT&T to play with the new WP7 phones. I like them better than Android for the simple user experience and would buy a WP7 phone before an Android right now, but neither of them makes me want to switch from my iPhone. Both of them suffer from manufacturing differences in HW that gives a poor user experience for consistency. Android suffers even more with bigger UI differences between phones, but Google is doing what MS did so well in the past and markets the ?hit out of it and throws gobs of money at it. Its doing great for some of the wrong reasons just like MS did years back in lots of areas.
I hope MS does wp7 right. WP7 is an enormous improvement in usability over Windows Mobile 6.x. One thing that both Google and MS have to catch up on are the apps compared to iphone, which is the way it always is for the latecomers. It was apps that was the final straw that got me to switch from WM to iphone. And there isn't a compelling reason to switch away from my iphone. My biggest gripe on any platform is speed so when someone comes out with something that's absolutely lightning fast with everything that doesn't need internet access, I'll be looking at it.
