Sorry – I uploaded the wrong screenshot. I fixed it and added the one where you can now see the text of the AppleScript and added it directly to the post.

I love your podcast – I came to it through David’s new book. I am an attorney and use evernote extensively. What is the applescript you are referring to?

I’d like to see the script: can you publish it too?

You can also get a TP-Link TL-WR700N 150Mbps Wireless N Mini Pocket Router
It works like the airport express but without the USB and audio jack. It’s also 1/3 of the price. I’ve got 2. I took 1 to the office where there is no wifi coverage, pluged into a spare cat5 jack and presto! Instant wireless.

Got the book as soon as I saw it on macsparky yesterday. I really like it. Am learning lots already and have barely gotten into it. Excellent format for a ‘book’. He got the price point right too. Better to sell lots at $5 than fewer at $20.
This is the way to go.

Congrats I hope you like it. Only 16? Will that be enough? If your hotel has free wired Internet, take your airport express. I found another product like the express called TP-Link TL-WR700N 150Mbps Wireless N Mini Pocket Router. Only $30 cdn and it works like a charm.

Up until I picked up a refurbished 3g Verizon 64gb iPad 2 I never realize how much I would come to
depend on that 3g connection. Yes not as fast as the newer model but I love not having to worry about
a wifi connection or making sure that I have my iPhone with me, then turn on tethering and making sure it
stays connected, etc.

When I upgrade to the new model of iPad I may go back to the 32gb model but I will never go back to
the wifi only model.

I have always owned the 3G (and now LTE) iPads. I need Internet access anywhere, and it is even more critical in my case, as my only other iOS device is an iPod Touch, so I can’t use the 3G access from an iPhone. I much prefer the web browsing on the larger screen, and, in a pinch, I have even caled a relative from a delayed train using Skype on the iPad (looking like a dork talking into it of course).

LTE is still not widely avaiable. In my cast I am in NJ, but just across the river froom NYC, which has it, and I have been able to connect to LTE at times, but even when it is not available, there is faster 3G access than previous models.

I still have my unlimited AT&T data plan, and, so far, at least, they have not throttled iPad owners.

I agree. I have some people that follow my on Facebook because of my photography. But my photos on Facebook are almost all my kids.

Facebook is such a norm nowadays, it’s changing how people communicate and stay in touch. But that’s at a very local level… face-to-face conversations are usually had at Thanksgiving sound like, “I saw that cute photo you put on on Facebook…”. Unfortunately some poole view the # of followers as some kind of social currency, so they friend everyone under the sun in hopes to get friended back.

I had thought about putting all my Facebook friends in groups, then pairing updates/photos with each specific group (kind of how G+ does with circles). But Facebook makes it seem like a lot of work. Plus I interact with Facebook via 3rd party apps, so it’d be more steps to segregate my contacts/posts.

Ughhh, social networking. Haha

Comment on How OBi and Google Voice Replaced My Home Phone by Darlynne

We just got rid of the land line this morning and the one step I was missing was to set Google Voice to forward to Google Chat instead of the old number. Don’t know how I missed that in the instructions, but your links helped and now everything works. Thanks for the information.

I too have an Obi110 setup to bridge my Google Voice phone number, and it has been working magically for the past two months. Google and Obihai web settings all have to be just so; expect to spend a hour to get them all configured correctly. I had one outage that I resolved by installing an updated TA firmware and another that I caused by accitently pressing the (#) pound sequence that disabled inbound calls. But I have already recovered my $50 out of pocket costs. The Obi is an amazing VOIP TA and Google Voice/Talk a great telephone service provider. Btw, I also use the free ObiOn IOS app to ocasionally make calls from my Ipad. This is simply amazing tech.

I have a question, you said

“I purchased the OBi110 Voice Bridge and VoIP Telephone Adapter”

Is that 2 different units, or 2 functions within the OBi 100/110?

Thanks!

I struggle with the whole Facebook ‘thing’ myself, love/hate thing. More than happy to continue to follow you on Twitter and your’s and David’s wonderful podcast. Some cracking ones recently, just what I was looking for.

Comment on Choosing a Keyboard for the iPad by Marc

I’m undergoing a similar decision and appreciate reading the downside of the apple Bluetooth keyboard. I’ve been thinking about getting one and pairing it with the origami workstation case. This post gives me a few extra things to consider, so thanks for the post!

Comment on Choosing a Keyboard for the iPad by Lia

Great review, very helpful. I don’t see a personal need for an iPad keyboard right now, but it’s definitely something I’m thinking about. Just a little trick that works with any battery powered device, flip one of the batteries around while you travel, that way it can’t accidentally power on. Then when you’re ready to use it, flip the battery back. Hope that helps!

It *eventually* worked (not without a warning from Evernote at my first new clipping attempt – saying it wasn’t able to capture the page but that it would save into Evernote one of the URLs mentioned in your initial post instead).
Note: I checked my extensions but everything was ok (Safari is set to automatically update extensions).

Thanks for your reply and for trying to clip also

I just noticed that TiVo has lowered the cost of a monthly plan. It’s now $14.99 a month.

[...] My Experience With The iPad Battery – "There’s been a lot of talk about iPad batteries with the introduction of the third generation iPad. Some people are reporting decreased battery life, others are reporting longer charging times or possibly that their iPad is no longer charging fully overnight when previous models would. The fact is, the battery in the new iPad is significantly larger than the battery in the first and second generation iPads although it continues to use the same 10w charger. A larger battery with the same power charger is going to require longer charging time. " Read more, including Katie Floyd's tips to calibrating batteries on all iOS devices. [...]

I just tested the Evernote web clipper using a variety of different web browsers both on my full website and individual articles. I had no problems. I haven’t done anything fancy that should prevent it from working. I suggest you check for updates.
