Hello! I've been looking around to buy an internal hard drive, and found most 500GB models running about $70-$80 (USD) or more. I found an old electronics catalog from 2010, and was surprised to see 1+TB drives from the same manufacturer running about $70-$80 as well, with comparable RPM values, data transfer rates, etc. In fact, I looked back at my receipts and saw I scooped up a 1.5TB Seagate Green for $50 last summer. Now I can't find a 1TB drive for much cheaper than $100. Am I missing something? What's changed in the last few months to drive up hard-drive prices? Talking about the non-SSD variety. Thanks for any insight!-- el Aprel ( facta- facienda) 08:37, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
I have an iPhone (3Gs, if that's relevant to my question) and a Windows 7 desktop. I know I can buy audio content through iTunes on my phone, back it up on my computer, and play it on my computer using the Windows iTunes program, but is it possible to do the same with video, such as if I bought a movie on my phone? Does the iTunes program for Windows have the ability to play movies bought on iTunes on my desktop? If I'm lucky enough that the answer is yes, does anyone know if a rented movie would work for the rental period on my desktop? My desktop iTunes is of course configured to my account. 20.137.18.53 ( talk) 12:44, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
http://www.htc.com/in/smartphones/htc-sensation-xl/ link does not work for me in Chrome, Firefox or IE9. What could be the reason? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.249.68.50 ( talk) 12:58, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
I should have asked the question clearly. The link in itself works to show the page. But the buttons 'Overview', 'Specs' etc do not work. They did not work for me in the NZ or AUS sites too. Was wondering why. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.249.68.50 ( talk) 13:36, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
I get this message often when I attempt to ex-out of a tab. I use Firefox on an iMac. When I click out of tab or window I just want it to work without this extra hoop. Is there a way to stop this? I have no idea if this is my computer, my browser, the website issuing the message, or some setting betwixt the three.-- 108.46.103.88 ( talk) 14:25, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
Usually implemented in JavaScript, which one can disable, but for some things that are entirely JavaScript driven it won't help you. You might be able to find an extension that can block just the "extra hoop", though. ¦ Reisio ( talk) 21:55, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
I had a problem with my desktop pc it restarts automaticaly within 2 hours. Recently there was a power fluctuation in my area and after that my smps got burnt I got it repaired by a nearby repair shop. but after that my cd player is not working and my PC restarts within 2hours. I showed it to a repair shop and they told me that it is a problem of motherboard and so they repaired it but the problem is as it was earlier. after that he reinstalled windows 7 but again the problem is there.
can anyone please suggest me that it is a problem of hardware or software and if it is problem of motherboard then is it repairable or not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.225.96.217 ( talk) 17:16, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
