This iPhone it will sync music fine, but it will not sync apps and I have no damn clue what to do to it to make it work. What now? :(

This week I spent a lot of time giving my grandparents a much needed tech overhaul. My grandmother turned 75 this Tuesday and while they are currently out of town I figured I would do something nice while I was around for the week.
Most of this was planned before they left mind you. I'm just now wrapping things up as we speak. I think they are going to be very, very happy when they return later this weekend.
Upgrades
• Memory, 1GB > 4GB (new dual sticks)
• Windows XP > Windows 7 (backup was fun, needed fresh format badly)
• Comcast Triple Play Install
• DSL 256k/128k > Cable 12/2M
• Wireless Networking Install + Adapter & a 180 ft Ethernet line drop to sep. outside guest house (that was fun)
Oh and... I completely redid their main entertainment setup. What a mess that was.. They have everything located in a guest room closet directly behind the main LCD TV to hide it all. Which makes sense due to having a wall mounted TV over a fireplace and so many damn devices (6). So, setting things up would force me to walk back and forth numerous times, not to mention going in the attic to redo line drops.
I reduced their four controllers down to two. Two because they have to occasionally use closed captioning for whatever reason and Comcast's shitty remote doesn't have that option. They had their Wii off to the side just sitting like it didn't belong there, so I found a way to hide it behind the TV wall mount so it isn't visible, yet easily accessible to change CD's or remove.
Fun week.

Seems like all this talk of the nerfing changes for the 1.1 patch don't even address the real issue with protoss. How do you guys deal with voidrays? CAN you deal with them, if you don't scout the voidrays up front and bumrush them before they manage to get to the back of your base and charge up on one of your buildings?

I have spent way too much money on my iPad and blown through roughly 70 issues in about 10 days. Ridiculous.
I can't wait for this to be on TV. What a fantastic story - the writer definitely keeps it very interesting by not letting you get too comfortable with characters, places, events, etc. He does a very good job keeping the reader on their toes.
The art isn't the best but it doesn't need to be - it does a good job getting the point across. I wish I had another 70 issues to knock out before I was done. :(
Any comic book recommendations? Ideally something I can purchase on my iPad, but I'll even go buy graphic novels if I have to. I'm hooked again, damn it.

can you mix different brands of RAM?
I have 2GB in an old PC i want to sell and upgrade it to 4GB (2 more sticks) but they don't sell that exact model of RAM anymore.

What a piece of shit that is. UI is totally fucking unintuitive, it runs poorly, mouse acceleration is the *worst* I've ever seen...ugh.
I guess one point in its favor is that the game does look fairly nice, but not nice enough for how poorly it runs.

Does it say that the new iPod touch does not have an IPS display (Retina Display, but different from the one on the iPhone 4)? Also, that it does not have the "optical lamination" of the iPhone 4?
If true about the lack of optical lamination, that
1) There will be no "right on the screen" feel to the icons
2) Eventually will gather dust under the screen in dusty environments (boourns)

And some other 2.0 thoughts from someone who has played it on the Korean servers. To be honest, a lot of it makes no sense to me at all, sounding more like gibberish. But I do have a level 22 Templar somewhere....

I don't know how it will stay on the air with no consistent story, no laugh track, and eclectic humor, but I hope it does. Great stuff.

I have 2GB DDR RAM and want to upgrade but getting the 2 more gigs of the same RAM is impossilbe, also DDR is expensive.

Who is the jackass who has been attending these things regularly, where after a feature is announced, he goes "Whoo!" If the feature didn't elicit immediate applause, then it really isn't the end of the world. Same kind of voice and same kind of "whoo"'too.
