I have a nokia 808 pureview.
It's an excellent phone and a phenomenal phone camera. symbian was axed, it hasn't died. there's millions of users worldwide if you can look beyond your own borders.
3  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: which is the most advanced pdf editor? on: January 18, 2013, 03:35:39 PM
foxit pdf editor used to be excellent for the job.
However, it is now part of their business suite which is the most expensive version.
It's still a stand-alone program within the suite.
Last I checked I don't think the installer created an icon for it and it was only checking the install dir that revealed it still existed.

failing that, probably adobe livecycle which is now a separate product from acrobat pro.

I like polar navy myself, they have a linux version and it runs with the free charts.
however I've not used it in anger yet as my sailing has primarily been using mkII eyeball.

foxit pdf editor used to be the 'must have' pdf editor for me.
however, it is no longer available as a standalone and last time I looked was a part of their phantom business suite. inaccessible through the gui or start menu items, I had to run it from the program install folder, which might mean if you didn't know it existed, you'd never run it.
things might've changed...
6  Main Area and Open Discussion / Living Room / Re: Anyone got an iPad and like it? on: November 01, 2011, 07:09:59 AM
I bought an ipad and eventually got rid of it. I spent a fair amount of money on apps but couldn't resolve my dislike for the itunes/locked in business  model. So it went. I now use a xoom which works well enough for my requirements. I will return to a windows tablet though. If HP released an updated TC1100, I would jump on that.

I bought a new compact recently because I needed a waterproof one to take on a sailboat.
I ended up with an Olympus 'tough' TG-810 (probably named differently in EU).

I can say 'without doubt this takes the worst pictures I've seen since 1 megapixel cameras'
It's supposed to be 14Meg (I think) but the snapshot output has no clarity and barrel distortion is horrendous. I really can't believe how bad the pics are out of this camera. Wasn't cheap either. Ho Hum. This is one case where my phone camera does better.

Anywho, if you're looking for a waterproof, avoid olympus TG-810 unless you can test it out, (mine might just be a dud).

I was fed up with robos licensing and moved to lastpass/xmarks (at least for a year).
lastpass has been okay, though I have the same problems with flash based logins.
but at least I can install it on my pcs... at work, and on my android tablet

look up xampp on apachefriends.org, it's great for trying LAMP out on a windows box by using the proggies you would run on Linux.

usenet explorer/newspro the best
newsbin pro a happy medium

elite on a BBC B by Ian Bell & David Braben.
It was a fantastic open-ended space trading sim with wire-frame graphics. My first experience with computers for recreation. It changed my life!  embarassed
17  Main Area and Open Discussion / Living Room / Re: Webroot SpySweeper scores 0% success rate in malware test ... on: April 08, 2006, 07:09:48 AM
sunbelt are hardly likely to have anything positive to say.. even if they sugar-coat it.
pcmag/world (can't remember which) tout spysweeper as the new anti-spyware messiah.
Someone's being economical with the truth.
For the record, I have registered sunbelt but no longer use it, to my mind it became too obtrusive and slow.

If there's one thing I learnt.. never trust magazine reviews, they're FOS! which makes DC so useful.

pfft! I would upload a picture of my (expensive) cat-aerobic center, but there's no one using it. They're all on chairs or beds.
21  Main Area and Open Discussion / Living Room / Re: animal identity crisis.. on: February 19, 2006, 05:28:27 PM
These pics are from a japanese store which sells all manner of hats for cats. I did have the url at one point but I've since lost it. Some of the images were quite humorous/humiliating. The cat never looked particularly happy with the assignment either.

25  Main Area and Open Discussion / Living Room / Re: nudone's new pc on: December 21, 2005, 04:46:39 PM
well , good luck with your endevours.
I used to have a serious rebuild every 2 years but now it seems to be half that.
I'm running an old (?) nforce3 with a dual 4400+ and an agp 6800GT, all water-cooled. single clicky raptor 74 for system, a 250 data drive and a 300 external backup.
My next move will probably be an sli capable board and new graphics. I go through fads with games and currently a nintendo DS/GBA supplies all my gaming. At considerably less cost too.
Half-life2 made me motion sick!!
