If you are uncomfortable with having them on the Internet, you can also use
Keepass which is free and if you don't have a Dropbox account, create one.
Again free for 2 GB. I have the portable Keepass installed to my Dropbox.
(Dropbox needs to be installed to each computer) It is available to all my
computers (2 Windows & 1 iMac) Yes, technically it is still on the
Internet, but they would have to go through 2 passwords to get there. 1st
to get into your Dropbox account then again to open your Keepass file. I
have been using this for a few years with no problems.
I also use Lastpass, but am nervous about my financial accounts being on the
net, so don't use it for them. However, everything I have read on it
suggests it is very safe. Just me, I guess.

I would have recommended that as well, or Web Confidential, but he said he wanted free or very inexpensive. 1Password is $70 for a single license. And I don't know if that includes the iPad app.

I use iPassword on all my computers and my iPad. I only bought it once. I used Web Confidential for years but it seemed to be fading so I switched. IPassword played nicely with WC and imported everything with no problems.

Re: iPhone 4S Speed Comparison - Verizon, Sprint, ATT

Sprint and Apple are investigating a potential problem in the 4S Sprint
carrier file which may be causing the strange slow speeds (only affecting
the iPhone) on Sprint. Also, note that Sprint is the only US carrier still
allowing unlimited data for new customers on the iPhone (or any smart
phone). This could be really impt with iCloud/streaming, Siri and OTA
updates
FWIW, I am on the ocean, near Daytona Beach, FL, with pretty poor signals
for all these carriers. 3G performance: Sprint 262 Kbps, Vz 675 Kbps, ATT
801 Mbps. 4G: Vz 7704 Mbps, Sprint 1566 Mbps (note - Sprint 4G does not
work at my house, this was in Daytona)
Devices used: ATT iPhone, Vz Thunderbolt, Sprint EVO 4G
FWIW, I have seen over 30 Mbps with VZ (many places) and also TMobile (in
Las Vegas)

Dan and others,
There's a huge omission from this test- coverage.
I had AT&T and iPhone 3GS for last two years. The holes in both voice and data coverage were exceedingly frustrating. It's difficult to overstate what it's like battling your phone for two years. The iPhone is an amazing tool way way way beyond a phone. When there are coverage holes it's damned near worthless.
My AT&T contract ran out on Labor Day so I was lined up perfectly for the new iPhone release. Got a Verizon iPhone 4S delivered on day of release and have not regretted it for one second. To the contrary. Places where I consistently experienced dead zones before I'm still surprised are working with the new iPhone. This goes to show how low my expectations have been after two years on AT&T.
In places where I had good AT&T coverage I'm finding Verizon may be a touch slower. That slow down is minor compared to the improved coverage areas. Very happy Verizon customer here.

Nah, it just shows you the downside to having to sign a 2-year contract.
I am with AT&T and happy with the coverage in Oregon, but when I was in Colorado, I gould have dropped it in a second if it weren't for the ETF.

New MacBook Pros
Posted by: "Jim Robertson" jamesrob@sonic.net jamesrob328i
Tue Oct 25, 2011 6:45 am (PDT)
I've been peeking at the refurb early 2011 15" MacBook Pros in the Apple
Online store for the past few months, considering an update from my 2.8 GHz
mid 2009 (MacBook Pro 5.3) 2 GHz model, for a few reasons:
1. I spend a fair amount of time running a web-based (Internet Explorer
Only) Electronic Medical Record in Vmware Fusion/Windows 7, and it's my
sense that the quad core processor would distribute that load better so that
I could work in the Mac environment simultaneously.
2. My wife's Core Duo MB Pro cannot be upgraged to Lion.
Within the past two weeks I've noticed two price drops in the base model (2
GHz clock speed quad core i7), and then of course the reason why became
apparent - upgrades in the clock speed of the processor announced yesterday.
These upgrades seem quite modest to me (at best a 20% upgrade in processor
clock speed), although there are some changes in the graphics processors as
well).
For my walking around patient care rounding in a dialysis facility while
running my Windows VM I use the integrated graphics rather than discrete
graphics (the 73 amp-hr battery gives me at most 3.5 hrs with the VM in
constant use). The newer models don't upgrade the battery much (75 amp-hrs).
As I understand it, the quad core processor and faster RAM mean the overall
performance of the 2 GHz quad core i7 machines will be noticeably quicker in
everyday routine use despite the slower clock speed of its processor
(compared to my current machine).
Seems to me the price-point of the early 2011 refurb models ($1359) is
compelling at the moment. Anyone have any contrarian thoughts?
Thanks so much,

Mac & Parallels

First let me say that I am not a computer genius like you all seem to be. I am amazed at all the knowledge on this group.
I have a Mac with Parallels running on it so I can have Windows XP for my embroidery programs. My Kapersky anti-virus ran out for my Parallels desktop and I want to install the free AVG for the windows side. I went to the Add/Remove screen, clicked on the Kapersky and it started to uninstall. It gets to a screen that says "stopping utilities" and goes not farther...says there is an error and I need to have privileges to do this. I am lost. Help! The AVG won't install until the Kapersky is gone.

Howdy.
Norm, the Apple WiFi AirPort card does not want a password.
If the AirPort WiFi card is being used to connect to a WiFi network,
then the device that generates that WiFi network is what is asking for
the password.
If you have a router with WiFi, then the encrypted WiFi being created
by this router (Apple AirPort base station or any other type of WiFi
router) is asking for the password.
All routers have a reset button. It's often a small recessed button
that you press with a pen point or an unbent paperclip.
The reset will reset the router to factory configuration including the
factory default administrator access name and the default administrator
password and usually deletes/turns off a WiFi network and other
settings.
This admin name and admin password for the router is used to access the
configuration setup for the router and this includes being able to
create/turn on a WiFi network, give the WiFi network a name and a
password. The password the WiFi network is a different password than
the admin access password to access the router itself. The router is
programmed to generate a sort of web-like page for doing this
configuration.
Most routers are accessed for this configuration but using your web
browser program like Safari and typing in the IP address for the
router. Many routers use the same private IP address of:
192.168.1.1. Not all routers use this address, however, so you will
need to check the manual for your router. 192.168.1.1 (the first two
number groups) are reserved for private networks.
The router's manual will have the default factory admin name and
password. It is often something like:
admin name is: "admin"
admin password is: "admin"
Because these are known and generic for many router brands and models
it's a very good idea to access the router configuration page and
change the admin name and admin password to something private.
After you access the router as an administrator, you can change the
admin default name and password to something private just for your own
use.
If you have an Apple brand AirPort Base Station (which is for creating
a WiFi network), then you use the Airport Utility app to administer it
and configue it. The Airport Utility is found in the
Applicatlions/Utilities folder on all Macs.

But the system might conceivably require an administrative password for access.

FWIW, Verizon and Motorola have a new Home Monitoring & Control service and
sell thermostats, door locks, cameras, appliance panels, electrical outlets,
light controls, etc that all can be controlled via iPhone or Android App.
The replacement items (thermostats, door locks, appliance outlets, door and
window sensors, etc) are not cheap and the service is $9.99 a month but if
you have the money and want the convenience you can control the temperature,
turn lights on, start dinner, unlock the door, etc, etc all from your
phone. If I had a $1,000 or so just to blow (after everything else), I
would consider this all:

Steve Jobs The Movie: Sony Wants Aaron Sorkin to Write It [REPORT]
Posted by: "Bill Boulware" bill.boulware@gmail.com boulware0224
Tue Oct 25, 2011 1:58 pm (PDT)
http://feeds.mashable. com/~r/Mashable/ ~3/LJK6JuMdVKA/
Sent to you by Bill Boulware via Google Reader: Steve Jobs The Movie:
Sony Wants Aaron Sorkin to Write It [REPORT] via Mashable! by Christina
Warren on 10/25/11
Sony is moving forward on a cinematic adaptation of Walter Isaacson's
biography of Steve Jobs, and is courting Aaron Sorkin to write the
screenplay, according to one report.
The LA Times cites a source "briefed on the project but not authorized
to speak publicly," who says that Sorkin is on a shortlist of
screenwriters being considered for the project. The West Wing creator
is considering the project, this source says, but has made no decision.
Sorkin won an Academy Award for his adaptation of another Silicon
Valley story, The Social Network. The writer also has a strong
relationship with Sony — which produced The Social Network and the last
film he penned, Moneyball.
Sorkin seems like a natural fit, given his penchant for witty dialogue
and strong but flawed male protagonists. But there are a couple of
reasons why he might not choose to do it. The fact that the Jobs story
treads the same sort of tech-based territory as The Social Network may
prevent the writer from taking on the project. Typecasting is a major
fear in Hollywood, and it's not just for actors. Sorkin may not want to
be pegged as a writer of geeky drama.
Additionally, as the LA Times points out, Sorkin actually knew Jobs.
Two weeks ago, Sorkin penned his own memories of Jobs in a column for
Newsweek. Whether or not that relationship would conflict with the
process of bringing Jobs to the silver screen is something Sorkin will
have to decide for himself.
But for film and Apple fans, the thought of a Sorkin-penned screenplay
is extremely attractive. It's hard not to become enamored with the idea
of what a writer of Sorkin's caliber could do with a character like
Jobs.
SEE ALSO: "The Social Network": Mashable's Complete Movie Review
Part of what made The Social Network such an achievement was that the
work of Sorkin, director David Fincher and Jesse Eisenberg elevated an
idea that was laughable (a Facebook movie?) into a work of art.
With The Social Network, there was an onus on the cast and crew to
convince the audience that Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg were worthy of
being immortalized on film. With Jobs, that argument doesn't have to be
made. The legacy and Apple is implicitly understood.
The challenge with making a film about Steve Jobs is the inverse of
making one about Facebook; it's not about convincing an audience that a
film needs to be made, it's about living up to the expectations set
forth by the character that is center to the story itself.
Sony has a good track record for these sorts of projects. With Mark
Gordan (Saving Private Ryan) as producer, it has a shot at succeeding
artistically and financially. Do you think Sorkin would be a good
choice for the project? Let us know in the comments.

Spotlight: last modified column
Posted by: "Patsy Price" beyondwords@shaw.ca beyondwords2
Wed Oct 26, 2011 2:33 am (PDT)
In Snow Leopard: I'm not very adept at using Spotlight. My biggest frustration:
When Spotlight finds a bunch of files, I need to see the date & time
last modified. It shows me the date & time last opened. So if I open
a file to look at it, Spotlight shows me when I just opened it.
I almost always need a column for last modified. Occasionally I also
want last created. I understand there's some way to adjust view
options. How?
