The DAC on the Galaxy is superior and the response curve is as good as iPhone. Audio's not your issue. But no, it's clearly not like for like.

Mystery virus infects US fleet of drones | | | | Quote: A mysterious computer virus has infected the US fleet of drones at the forefront of the war against al-Qaeda militants in some of the world’s most remote areas, raising fresh fears that the new era of technology-driven warfare comes with its own set of cyberthreats.
The US military said the virus had not caused any of the unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, to crash, and the Predators and Reapers are still flying missions such as the airstrike over Yemen more than a week ago, which killed Anwar al-Awlaki, the US-born al-Qaeda propagandist and one of America’s most wanted terrorists.
But the Pentagon’s technology experts have been unable to eliminate the virus, according to Wired, which first reported the infection. “We keep wiping it off, and it keeps coming back,” a source told the technology magazine. “We think it’s benign. But we just don’t know.”
In 2008, the Conficker worm infected millions of computers worldwide and engaged some of the best minds in the computer world, who failed to discover who had designed it or what it actually did. And this year, Iran admitted that its secret nuclear programme had suffered a serious setback after being infected with the Stuxnet virus, which was believed to have been created by the US and Israel to sabotage its uranium-enrichment centrifuges. | | | | |

Apart from a reduction in data allowance (unlimited down to 500mb), it's better for me to get an iPhone 4S from vodafone than O2. With vodafone's pricing plan, it's only £80 extra to get the 64GB model which probably won't be in as much demand, so hopefully won't be out of stock in the Apple store.

Despite one of my supervisors knowing I've got exams coming up, she thought it'd be a good idea for me to get a presentation sorted. It's sapped around 4 hours of my life that could have been spent on revision and has annoyed me to the point that I'm struggling to concentrate.

It was fairly easy for me to transfer everything to gmail. The option is on the gmail account side though

I have a feeling, dependant on the version of Exchange, blanket email forwarding maybe something that needs to be done on the server by an admin rather than the user being able to do it. The best option you might have would be a server side rule that matches all messages and forwards them to the new address.

i used to use that option before Hotmail allowed auto-forwarding. not sure id feel comfortable giving Google my college password though, as it controls my user account too :S

If external forwarding is enabled on the server you can log in to OWA and tell it to forward mail to your other account. If it's not then you're screwed

T-mobile and orange both have better 3G coverage around my workplace than vodafone.
Am tempted to return to T-mobile. Any reason why I shouldn't? Or even try orange?

If it helps, T-mobile and Orange teamed up a while back to offer better coverage. I'm an Orange PAYG customer, but it's not uncommon to be switched to a T-mobile mast if the reception is better. _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

Yeah - my sister is with one or t'other and she told me about this.
Just wondering from a service POV whether anyone's had any issues.

Nope. Seems to work as advertised. I still get a crap signal in my home from both.  _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.
