The musical sound of the cash register
[Original Link] Apple’s iTunes Music Store is selling over 3 million songs a week. And it’s still only open to people with a US credit card…
All must have prizes
[Original Link] Three things that get my goat:
- The government’s constant striving to push as many kids as possible into higher education, (which is nothing whatsoever to do with keeping unemployment figures down),
- the inflation of A-level grades (because everybody’s suddenly got so much cleverer over the last ten years)
- The ridiculously low salaries of UK academics
All of which are components behind this report that Cambridge University is thinking of building three more colleges.
Three years ago…
[Original Link] Jakob Nielsen was talking about .NET taking over the world because it would enable micro-payments.
Reset Nokia 6600
For anyone who, like me, has been typing ‘reset nokia 6600’ into Google…
I like my 6600, but the software does have occasional glitches. Something happened on mine which stopped it syncing reliably with my Mac using iSync, so I wanted to try and restore it to its pristine out-of-the-box state. There are lots of tips out there on the web about how to do this – see here for example – but the most thorough format I’ve found so far can be achieved by going to Tools/Settings/Phone/General and choosing ‘Orig. Phone Settings’.
Still doesn’t delete everything, though… let’s see if it works…
Bother. No. Still crashes.
Follow-up, some months later: I eventually solved this by installing FExplorer and using it to delete all sorts of files I didn’t recognize. Somebody had pointed out that the Backup utility built into the Nokia was dying with the same AppArcServerThread error, and when I had deleted enough files to make that work, sure enough, iSync was working again.
