    iOS7 seems to have messed up how mobile Wordpress sites are viewed

    Anyone else seeing this? Since upgrading my iPhone 5 to iOS7, my Wordpress sites don't fit in the full screen. They seem to be at about 150% intended size. You have to scroll right to view all of the content. This happens on both Chrome and Safari, and with several different mobile plugins so...

    Strange Win7 permissions problem

    I did use Auslogics Registry Cleaner - but that was after I had these issues. I ended up having to manually remove iTunes and then used the Reg Cleaner afterwords.

    iPhone 5C 16GB to cost $550 off-contract...isn't that a little much?

    The "upgrade" price is obviously selling the hardware at a loss. Being able to get a new iPhone for $199 is a very reasonable price, and buying it new (not on upgrade) for $550 seems to be right for me. That's ballpark for what it has been for a long time. I haven't paid a cent to upgrade my...

    Strange Win7 permissions problem

    Thanks for the reply. It is strange that the same thing happened on 2 of my computers (1 desktop and the other my home server) so I'm guessing it has something to do with software or a combination of software I installed. It was first noticed on my server when I couldn't install/upgrade...

    Core 2 Duo T9400 no power up Dell Vostro 1500

    That is odd that this one would be 1066MHz while the others at that time period were 800MHz. I never thought that would be an issue; I guess it isn't the same as how desktop mobos handle it. Also interesting how the T9400s are so much cheaper than the T9300s and T9500s on eBay right now. I got...

    Core 2 Duo T9400 no power up Dell Vostro 1500

    Yes it works fine with the T5270. In fact, I am posting from it right now in Linux Mint. I read one post on a blog that said it may be because of incompatibility with the chipset... apparently the T9300 and T9500s will work... meh.

    Core 2 Duo T9400 no power up Dell Vostro 1500

    I'm upgrading the processor on a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop and can't get it to power on. Original processor was a Core 2 Duo T5270 (1.4 GHz) I purchased and installed a Core 2 Duo T9400 SLB46 2.53GHz 1066MHz and it won't boot. I've tried it with one stick of RAM, battery/no battery...

    Polishing G5 tower

    Wondering if anyone has had any luck polishing a G5 tower. Mine is all scratched up and I was hoping some rubbing compound and elbow grease would do the trick. Thanks.

    Disk clone utility recommendation?

    I too use Clonezilla. In fact, I just cloned a 60GB SSD to a 1TB HDD and it worked fine. Just remember to remove the original source drive when you boot... I had an ID collision or something like that and Win7 didn't like it.

    Help diagnosing laptop problem

    It isn't a wire to the HD, I booted a live CD with no HD present and it did the same thing. I also removed the internal wifi card and taped off the antenna wires. This wasn't my laptop... it was given to me so I don't know the history of it being dropped or anything like that. Oh well...

    Well... I've just discovered that I can make it boot EVERY time if I give the keyboard a good pound with my fist.

    HP Specs Integrated graphics. I just took off the keyboard and power switch pad and everything is tight and properly seated. Also, it is not a charger/battery issue.
