When I was kid I had a small collection going. I had one with 40-something pieces. It had a toothpick. Not that you'd ever want to use it. It was kinda gross actually. I heard you can get Swiss Army knives with USB storage and laser pointers built in. Anyways, that has nothing to do with this review, except that "The Swiss Army Knife of Disk Connectivity" is written on the box of the Newer Technology USB 2.0 Universal Drive Adapter. Newer Technology doesn't lie - if Swiss Army knives needed to be able to read from a hard-drive, this bad-boy could do it. <a href="http://forums.mactalk.com.au/18/59481-usb-universal-drive-adaptor.html" target="_self">Zillatron reviews it and tells us if it really is as useful as a Swiss Army knife, but for geeks, who don't go outside, but often find HDD's they need to read data from.</a>

    Yeah, this can happen with iMessage as well. I've sent miessages from my iPad and the first thing the person asks is who it is.

    But since

    As reported on The Verge, when you split the iPad keyboard into two, hidden in the space between the two keyboards is the next key along.

    I have two computers running 10.6, and a 2nd gen iPod touch. I assume this means iCloud is not going to be available to me.

    Does this mean

    G'day all,

    I'm hoping it's still OK to post 'help wanted' ads in this forum - I'm still working with a number of developers and designers

    what version of photoshop do you have?
    Some of the new versions have Film and TV as a preset option. Which also gives you title and action safe

    It would really help if Apple allowed an initial restore from iPhone for such occasions, but maybe that could get messy.

    Setting up a separate keychain called "Mail" has fixed this for me. I have to enter the password for the "Mail" keychain when I start

    Phoneview does work well for copying various data from and to the iPhone. The demo is very limited, but it does allow you to test the functionality on
