RE: forum having trouble with photobucket pics
In the meantime, you can use a service such as bitly.com to shorten your Photobucket Albums or Photos URL which contain a space(%20), and you shouldn't have a problem posting them on RV.NET.
So http://i381.photobucket.com/albums/oo255/rvexplorer/Forum%20Album/EntegraAspire.jpg becomes
http://bit.ly/Kg1XNf
Or use [IMG]http://bit.ly/Kg1XNf[/IMG] to post a photo:

RE: FIREFOX ISSUE
If Firefox was working, but now doesn't on MSN and you didn't change any settings, than you may want to clear out both your browser cache and old cookies. Either one can cause strange behaviors if they get corrupted.

RE: Stop the Tracking Paparazz
http://i.imgur.com/jxeKp.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/RH15y.gif height=332
A recent update to AVG Anti-Virus Free 2012 now installs a browser Do Not Track addon automatically. You don't need to install the AVG toolbar, which I chose not too.
The AVG addon doesn't appear to block social network sites or analytic sites as Albine's Do Not Track Plus does by default, which may be a good thing as I've experienced some embedded videos, or other content not loading or stalling on some sites. Especially in Yahoo News where embedded YouTube videos won't load or play in my browser using Albine's addon. However, loads normally using AVG Do Not Track. In any case, the user can easily block additional tracking on either a per website basis, or automatically for all sites using AVG Do Not Track settings.

RE: Google Chrome has changed as of 5/16/12
Have any of you checked Google Chrome home page today?
I guess I'm confused as Chrome is a browser and you can set any website as your home page. Google News works without login? :h

RE: Verizon Data- Problem or Scam
the Verizon my data is *not* real time. there is a lag of at least 24-hours. if you have an iPhone you need to install the DataMan app on your smart phone. there are two versions...free and Pro. the Pro version states that it will push a notification to you when you exceed a data threshold. android probably has a similar, if not the same, app.
I use the free version of the Android app Traffic Monitor from RadioOp. It will monitor both mobile and Wifi data, and allow you to set daily, weekly, and monthly mobile data notification limits. It will also break down data usage by system and individual apps.

RE: Windows Media Player; no sound when playing iPhone video
Installed this software. Works great. VLC was just right!
VLC is my favorite media player. It can easily be configured for individual playback requirements which makes it very versatile to say the least. Not to mention that it loads its own codecs so can run a multitude of different file types by default.
In fact, I just recently demonstrated using VLC to easily playback a sequence of HD video files(playlists) for use in seminars and festivals for a well known art museum in DC. The fact that VLC also supports using simple keyboard player control commands, can be set to playback full screen video by default, while disabling on-screen displays including player controls was also perfect for use in their theatre, as they are running their HD video files through a digital cinema projector. They are also using VLC to auto. run an HD video presentation in a smaller theater every hour, set to start when the museum opens, and end at closing. There are also MACS using VLC to run looped video clips on smaller projectors for various exhibits. Best of all it's free open source, so no extra costs to tax payers.

RE: Apple accounts getting hacked
Unfortunately, this is nothing new, and was reported last year by Chinese Global Times that 50,000 iTunes accounts had been hacked and being sold on a popular Chinese auction site Taobao. I actually scanned the site and found a number of listings for iTune accounts for sale. Most involved accounts with prepaid iTune cards.
Good idea to routinely change your password which I've done since originally reading this story. I also don't keep a credit card on file with iTunes.

RE: Favorite Apps for Android and iPhone
I can think of a bunch of them, but will stick to recommending one, the free avast! Mobile Security. Adds a security layer to your Android phone. Not just for malware protection, but also to GPS track, lock out, or erase key data from a lost or stolen phone. This can be done simply by sending a text message sent to your Android phone from another pre-authorize phone.

RE: Cool little GPS tracking device for vehicles
and if the car is stolen wouldn't all the thief have to do is remove the device from the OBD port?
That is also what I would be concerned with using an OBD port based GPS device for tracking. Depending on how sophisticated a GPS tracking device one would require, I would think you could also combine a used Android phone(HTC Eris ~$50.) installed with even a free app such as avast! Free Mobile Security, using a pay-as-you-go service such as PagePlus(Verizon) @$3. month minimum, and be able to use that as a simple GPS tracking device. It would just take a text message to the phone in order to turn tracking on/off.

RE: Livemail or Hotmail?
ps: If you didn't already know.
gmail = Google
hotmail = Yahoo
livemail = Microsoft
Actually, Hotmail is also Microsoft. Both Live and Hotmail are the same. Just pick the email address you want @live.com or @hotmail.com.
One thing I like about Windows Live Mail is that it allows email aliases, which will forward email to your primary account. So you can give out the email alias address without divulging your primary email address. If you end up getting too much Spam, just change the alias email address.
The aspect I don't like about Live Mail is that it only supports POP3 access using an email client. GMail is much better in that regard as it also supports IMAP, which allows access to all your email folders in an email client.

RE: Google Upgrades Docs Storage to 5G Ahead of DRIVE!
Received an email that Google Drive is now active. Not necessarily any better than other similar cloud services such as Dropbox, still my favorite. But does make it convenient for those already using Google services, especially with Docs.

RE: Google Upgrades Docs Storage to 5G Ahead of DRIVE!
You can easily setup your own FREE virtual encrypted disc within cloud storage. That is what I do with Dropbox for some more important files. So only I hold the keys, and it syncs with no issues between my computers.
What makes one think a paid service is any more secure than a free one? You need to take your own initiative to secure your files. ;)

RE: Best broadcast quality video camera?
Don't buy S/N #1, or the entire 1st run for that matter..
I never buy anything site unseen. Will also wait for some initial user reviews. But also never personally had issues with BM gear in the past.

RE: Google Upgrades Docs Storage to 5G Ahead of DRIVE!
Yes, the site now appears active at drive.google.com, but the service indicates "Your Google Drive is not ready yet". From the features section, it looks as if Drive will allow drag-n-drop of files, real time collaboration and syncing, and a browser viewer for over 30 different file types including for HD video, Photoshop, and Illustrator. Plus, there is an app for Android, with one for the iPhone/iPad coming soon.

RE: Google Upgrades Docs Storage to 5G Ahead of DRIVE!
Microsoft Live.com gives you 25 GB free, so Google still has some work to do.
BTW, Microsoft Skydrive has just been reduced to 7GB free. If you've already been using the previous 25GB, you may have a limited amount of time to keep using it by doing a free upgrade.

RE: safe mode
What WIN version are you using? If you cannot get out of Safe Mode, then you need to go into MSConfig, click the Boot.ini tab, and make sure /SAFEBOOT is "unchecked" and click OK.
You can bring up MsConfig by holding the Windows Key+R, type or copy and paste msconfig then click OK.
