Forum Thread: Common Terms with Definitions

Yeah, I know, a forum isn't a dictionary but a shared vocabulary makes things a hell of a lot easier. You know, a vocabulary in which an apple is an apple and an Android isn't an Apple. This includes device specific language, technical terms and of course slang.

It is a dirty tireless job...but I am looking for community members that stand above their peers. Individuals who actually believe that can make a difference. Together we can rule this Universe as Father and son...or as Father and daughter.

Forum Thread: What Is a SoftModder?

Good question. I encourage additional clarifications but here is my opinion of the term. A SoftModder is anyone who enjoys making modifications (or changes) to their phone. This includes simple physical modifications, like adding accessories; minor changes, like personalizing the display or more advanced modifications which require the phone to be "rooted."

Forum Thread: How Convert My Pre-Lit Tree to LED

I have a pre-lit tree lit with mini bulbs at 125vac 5a 625w and i want to convert it to blue LED. I would prefer to just swap out the bulbs, but is that possible? Doesn't the power for regular bulbs and LED ones differ? I am not opposed to re-stringing the tree, but the wire has to be black, since my tree is black.

Forum Thread: The "New iPhone" Release Date?

The Apple Fanboys are all a buzz regarding the recent special event announcement from Apple. Looking at the invite it seems obvious what the event will be about. The event is scheduled for September 12th, which takes care of the large number "12" on the invitation image. The shadow formation in the number "5" is left to speculation. Could this be Apple hinting toward the iPhone 5, or are they releasing 5 new products, or is this the ultimate art of trolling?

Forum Thread: Free Apps for Mac?

I'm just about to get a macbook. I'm wondering if there are "free as in free beer" applications just like on my ubuntu. Does it have equivalent software such as Open Office, Gimp, Camstudio, Any video converter and Audacity on a Mac. Also, is it easy to install ubuntu 10.04  on a new macbook? Is bootcamp pre-installed on my system? It's a 2.4 GHz core 2 duo with Geforce 320M.

Forum Thread: A Numbers Chart from Multiple Sheets?

In Numbers '09, I'd like to make a chart on one sheet that draws data from multiple tables on multiple sheets. Is this possible? I tried for the longest time and finally gave up. Seems you can only draw data in a chart from multiple tables on the same sheet, not from different sheets. But is there something I'm missing? Anybody know?
