just select 'education store' then 'school or any other education establishment', they never check
― Jefferson Mansplain (DG), Thursday, 2 December 2010 21:39 (thirteen years ago) link
ahhh, clever
so if I (or a friend) can order from a uni IP that's sufficient? ie no student matric card check on delivery?
― mo loko (cozen), Thursday, 2 December 2010 21:39 (thirteen years ago) link
depends on exchange rather, but an education discounted mac is sometimes cheaper in the uk than the us, and it comes with nearly free applecare.
cozen, no. there's never a check once the order is placed in my experience.
― caek, Thursday, 2 December 2010 21:40 (thirteen years ago) link
"rather" = "rate" (drunk)
uni discount is 15% DG, which is a lot bigger than the 'school etc' discount
― mo loko (cozen), Thursday, 2 December 2010 21:41 (thirteen years ago) link
cool, thanks. that should be easy enough to sort out.

do you have an apple store nearby? they should be able to replace it on the spot. just back it up before you go.― joe, Sunday, 28 November 2010 21:48 (5 days ago)
I took it to the nearby apple store. They replaced it on the spot. I backed it up before I went. Happy days are here again.

Next question:I've got Windows Calendar on my PC, which doesn't sync with the iphone. Is it possible to download some software that will sync with the phone (i.e. some kind of appple calendar thing, or will their stuff only work on macs)? Preferably something free, obviously.
― Porpoises Rescue Dick Van Dyke (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Saturday, 4 December 2010 10:26 (thirteen years ago) link
I use google calendar.
― sofatruck, Saturday, 4 December 2010 17:01 (thirteen years ago) link
having said that, i'm on a mac and I think gcal syncs with the apple calendar, which then syncs with my iphone, so maybe thats not a solution.
― sofatruck, Saturday, 4 December 2010 17:03 (thirteen years ago) link
im sure there some middle ware thingy thatll do the job
― ice cr?m, Saturday, 4 December 2010 17:05 (thirteen years ago) link
You can make Google Calendar sync directly w/iPhone. They have an Exchange server mode, and you'll even get your calendar items pushed to the phone. Pretty smooth.
― mh, Saturday, 4 December 2010 17:14 (thirteen years ago) link
there's something called nuevasync that I used to use to sync google calendar with ical via exchange mode. I can't remember why that was needed but it was. Now the service costs money and I never look at my calendar mobil-y anyway. Thing was I have an iPod touch, no iphone, and the idea was to sync so I could pull out the ipod and see if I was busy on a certain day.

Google didn't used to have Exchange support. They do now.

Guys microsoft outlook syncs with iPhone, no?
― Shakey Sides (sunny successor), Monday, 6 December 2010 21:02 (thirteen years ago) link
It does when there is an exchange server. Not sure if you use Outlook to access something else (but then you would just use your iPhone to access that something else - POP, IMAP server, etc.).
― schwantz, Monday, 6 December 2010 21:30 (thirteen years ago) link
iphones exchange sever support is better than fucking entourage, frankly.

im really loving this new Reeder app for osx
― lube fiasco (diamonddave85), Tuesday, 7 December 2010 00:31 (thirteen years ago) link
anything special about it? I use NetNewsWire on my iPod Touch but just use Google Reader when I'm at a computer. Didn't take to NNW's OSX app.
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 02:20 (thirteen years ago) link
Really liking Reeder OS X too. Still have a lot of bookmarks I need to get out of NNW.
― Stockhausen's Ekranoplan Quartet (Elvis Telecom), Tuesday, 7 December 2010 11:48 (thirteen years ago) link
what's wrong with nnw?
reeder feels like an ipad app made by a windows user imo.
― caek, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 11:52 (thirteen years ago) link
nnw is great. the pc equivalent is a bit horrid tho (surprise!)
― Jefferson Mansplain (DG), Tuesday, 7 December 2010 12:39 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm liking reeder except for the switches that are obviously meant for swiping and not clicking.
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 15:47 (thirteen years ago) link
jailbroke my phone last night only to have it fucking stick on apple logo. RESTORE TO FACTORY SETTINGS. BLOW ME APPLE

― shirley summistake (s1ocki), Tuesday, 7 December 2010 15:57 (thirteen years ago) link
The Reeder iPad app has a screwy opening screen, but the rest is very iPad-ish, not sure what caek means. The swipe left/right to star or mark unread is a little less obvious, but useful.
IMO, Reeder for iPhone > OS X Reeder > iPad Reeder, as far as polish goes.
NNW was great on the desktop but I ditched it years ago when I started using Google Reader full-time, and I haven't really ever gone back even though I've tried newer versions. Reeder is good at viewing articles, but also smooth at doing with those what I need (send link to friend, send to Instapaper, etc.)
― mh, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 16:35 (thirteen years ago) link
I only use(d) NNW on iPod because it downloaded the articles, which Google Reader did not. I could download my blogs while in WIFI, then read them later while not online.
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 16:55 (thirteen years ago) link
i still use nnw on teh desktop, it's fine, but nnw for iphone, even tho it was one of the launch apps, has been a shit show since day 1 ime.
just got reeder and LOVE it tho (ON IPHONE)
― shirley summistake (s1ocki), Tuesday, 7 December 2010 17:06 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, I'll probably just use Reeder on my iPod now.
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 17:54 (thirteen years ago) link
i use byline
― max, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 17:59 (thirteen years ago) link
Byline is pretty OK. As far as iPhone usage goes, I started with Byline, went back to just using Google Reader's mobile page, and then went to Reeder.
― mh, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 18:40 (thirteen years ago) link
Reeder (iPhone) definitely wins. NNW was the shit for about two months, then Gatorade got lazy and stopped working on it and everyone else caught up. The new NNW is orrite but nowhere near as good as Reeder.

"but the rest is very iPad-ish, not sure what caek means."
that's exactly what i mean. only someone who had never used a mac could design a desktop app like the desktop reeder.
― caek, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 23:32 (thirteen years ago) link
Ahh, I was refering to the iPad app. The desktop one is a little too iPaddy (name of my iPad btw) but I can take it.
― mh, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 23:48 (thirteen years ago) link
Me: Reeder ON IPHONE, NNW on mac, no ipad fer chrissakes.
But jailbroke 2 days ago, and MyWi is totally incredibly essential and amazing and wonderful. Can't love on it enough. Really.
― J, Wednesday, 8 December 2010 01:38 (thirteen years ago) link
I really like reeder on the ipad, it's one of the few apps that actually pays attention to how you hold it.
nice touches: The up/down buttons halfway up where your thumb would be. The pinch in/out to go back and forth, like how Photos does it, is also genius, and I hate that not every app does that. So much nicer than having to press a little button at the top. Slide to star/mark as read.
I'm in the middle of working on some iphone/ipad apps, so I've been consciously examining the UI in the apps I've been using. I just got one called Aweditorium that's pretty cool, haven't spent too much time with it yet.
― Charlesburg, Wednesday, 8 December 2010 01:59 (thirteen years ago) link
Reeder for mac is interesting, it feels like a hybrid mac/ipad app. Kind of annoying that the "star" button is so far from the items list, though you can just press "S" I suppose. The first version didn't have any names for the feeds, only icons, which was too cryptic. Cool to see the progression, though not sure if I'll stop using the web version. I still haven't found a mail interface I like more than the gmail web app.
