Things were going wrong. Zooming wasn't happening, and it'd jump to the starting point when I wanted to look at the destination. The way it was supposed to work seemed pretty straightforward. Things just that it didn't happen that way. I wouldn't expect this from all Android devices. The phone could have been a lousy model, or it might not have been running the best version of Android. Unfortunately, you're at the mercy of the phone manufacturer for Android updates, so even if this had been an issue that was addressed by Google, getting a fix may not have been an option. Either that or the phone manufacturer might have borked Android somehow.

Per Tom Haudricourt, as of yesterday, the Brewers expect the roof to be open for Game 1. Let's stick to this thread for any roof discussion during the NLCS.

I smell a least a couple of levels of hearsay, the weakest of which is that these comments originated from the New York Post. I'd love to be privy to everything Ryan said instead of just a couple of snippets. Additionally, tying his comments to the Brewers' front office having interest is a huge stretch. The front office is going to be appropriately silent at this time. They have other things on their mind, and accusations of tampering are the last thing they need. I'd say that this adds up to a couple of comments taken out of context and some poor reporting.

I don't trust cell phone sales people, so I'd be taking whatever they did to compare phone A to phone B with a huge grain of salt. One Sprint representative told me that it didn't matter that Sprint didn't cover northern Wisconsin because I wouldn't ever be going there. Really. I also recall an Alltel rep selling a friend a $40 USB cable to transfer ringtones from her computer to her phone. The rationale was that doing it via Bluetooth "didn't really work." It took me about a minute to figure out how to pair the phone with my Mac and send the files over. On the other hand, I do trust Apple Store people, and if I were in the market for an iPhone, I'd feel good about any advice they offered when weighing the advantages of AT&T vs. Verizon vs. Sprint. I don't own a smartphone. I'd love a data plan, but I can't justify the cost of the number of minutes they make you buy every month. That makes my experience with these devices limited. I can say that when a friend asked me to get directions and a map on his iPhone, I pulled it off immediately without a hitch. When another friend recently asked me to do the same thing on her Android phone, it was a collaborative effort that took several tries. Back to cost and availability, I was correct in reply #3. AT&T will offer all three phones. Verizon and Sprint won't be offering the free iPhone 3GS, but they will offer the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S. Here's a comparison of the three phones from Apple. As far as iOS 5 features, an iPhone 4S is required for Siri. Here's a cost comparison. All things being equal, Sprint probably offers the best financial deal. Of course, all things aren't equal, so what's right for one person isn't going to apply to everyone. One question that hasn't been answered is if Sprint's network will handle the influx of iPhone users. They say it's ready, but that's not something that can really be tested until people actually go live with their new phones.

Right-clicking in Firefox, using an iMac, brings me no results. Holding down the Control key and clicking will bring up the context (right-click) menu. Or, if you'd like to do actual right-clicks, go to your Mouse System Preference pane and make sure the "secondary click" option is checked. On a modern Mac trackpad, use two fingers anywhere on its surface to "right-click." Like Windows, clicking and dragging an image to the desktop, a folder icon, or an open window will also work to save images on a Mac.

Per Tom Haudricourt:

I think that Cory was deferring to the fact that Bob is Bob, and at that point, Uecker would be the one that fans would want to hear. I wonder what might have happened had the game gone on for a long time, though. Maybe Cory would have called the top half of innings with Bob calling the bottom halves. Or maybe Bob would have gone on a marathon and called everything. It's not like it would have been physically impossible.

Apple TVs and Mac Minis have HDMI ports. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Other recent Macs can connect to HDMI ports with cheap adapters. I anxiously await a day when Flash is gone. In addition to Apple's iOS devices, Microsoft won't be supporting it Windows 8 Metro. As far as price, the iPad is very cost-competitive. There are some cheaper tablets, but their capabilities fall into a rather narrow scope. That's cool, of course, for people whose needs fit those devices. Along with that, competitors are having a very difficult time trying to build machines that are cost competitive with the MacBook Air. MarketWatch posted an article titled 12 lessons for us all from the life of Steve Jobs. I thought that this one in particular was interesting.

I can click and drag them to a folder using windows 7 and they save that way. Some really cool pictures Right-clicking on them and choosing "Save Image As…" (or your browser's equivalent) should work.

Maybe we haven't seen "the reason" yet, but he had some solid moments Friday night, which I'll accept. Getting a hit 25% of the time and getting on base 27% of the time is going to produce a lot of solid moments when a guy plays full time. It's not a surprise when Yuni does something cool. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif These solid moments don't negate the fact that he made outs 73% of the time. And I'm not so sure that last night's hit was solid as much as it was fortuitous. Still, it should be appreciated as it was one of the key moments in one of the most significant games in the franchise's history.

Before the game, Prince told Sam Ryan that questions about the possibility/probability of him moving elsewhere were absolutely off limits. He's not the one bringing this up.

Now that the question has been answered, I'm going to refer everyone to the similar topic in the Major League forum: Uecker's NLDS series-ending call and other game 5 audio/video

Luke's been blocking balls and getting beaten up all season. The cool thing about the postseason is that people are starting to notice this about him. It's too bad that his name has to be mispronounced or that he has to be referred to as "their catcher," but that should change with the NLCS.

Here's WTMJ's site: http://www.todaystmj4.com/ I've only found two videos, but neither one plays for me. It'd be cool if anyone could help with links.

Obviously, this thread worked. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif After posting this message, I'm going to switch back to my previous avatar. But I'll bring out the new one when it's needed again. I don't want it leaking out any karma that might be put to better use at some point during the NLCS.

On the day of the iPhone announcement, pundits criticized the event as lacking "panache." It was very low key, and it was held in a small auditorium on Apple's campus rather than in a larger venue off site. I think it's now apparent that the planners knew that Steve's passing was imminent and purposely kept things simple. Steve was always ahead of the curve. Apple dumped floppy disks, serial, SCSI, and its proprietary keyboard/mouse ports back in 1998. (Apple's computers never used a parallel port.) OS X Lion is installed via a download. He's also been known to wait out technologies until the time is right. Macs don't have USB 3 yet, for instance. I'm sure that technology will appear, probably when the next generation of Intel processors directly supports it. The company has eschewed Blu Ray. I'd bet that it never appears; instead, I'd bet on Mac computers dumping optical drives entirely. He was one to pay attention to detail. Even the boxes were important. This is the box that contained t-shirts given out when the most recent Berkeley store opened: http://images.macworld.com/images/article/2011/10/shirtbox-256989.jpg (source: MacWorld) ifoAppleStore.com describes the symmetry of the Berkeley store: Here's how the Apple store sales pitch works, courtesy of the Wall Street Journal: Steve made some really unusual decisions, too. When Apple kicked him out back in 1985, he sold all but one share of his stock. He kept that share so he could continue to receive an annual report. That stock would be worth $29 billion today. In 1995, when Steve came back to Apple through its acquisition of his company (NeXT), he was granted 1.5 million shares of Apple stock. He promised to hold them for at least six months. Six months later, he sold them, and Apple's stock dropped 40%. That forced out CEO Gil Amelio and paved the way for Steve to take over. It's going to be interesting to see where Apple heads. Unlike the last time Steve and Apple parted ways back in 1985, I think the company will be just fine this time.

Both AT&T and Verizon have killed unlimited bandwidth on new accounts. Additionally, both companies are throttling users who use too much bandwidth on existing unlimited accounts. To avoid throttling, users need to switch to a capped account that charges them when they go over their limit.

I'm now betting against the 3GS being offered by Sprint. Sprint uses CDMA, and the 3GS is GSM-only. The iPhone 4 has separate GSM and CDMA models, so it may be offered. The 4S combines CDMA and GSM into the same unit.

Pricing now goes like this with two year contracts: iPhone 4S: $199 (16GB), $299 (32GB), $399 (64GB) iPhone 4: $99 (8GB) iPhone 3GS: Free (8GB) From the announcements made today, I'd assume that Sprint offers all three models. All three models run iOS 5, although certain iOS 5 features might be unavailable in the older models.

Yikes. If accurate, the numbers are staggering, at least to an outsider looking in. Snippets from "Inside Sprint's Bet on iPhone"…

I think Braun had that belt made up in spring training and kept it at his locker during the season.

I'd still categorize him as part of the Brewer "family." He's just a more distant one than Yount, Gantner, Thomas, et al.
