Sorry to be the barer of bad news, but at the moment there's no way to sync the notes from either the iPod Touch or iPhone. There's a third party product called Megaphone (http://www.ecamm.com/mac/megaphone/) which lets you edit them, though - it might be worth checking out if you really want notes on the desktop.

"Add from Contacts" feature

When I wanted to send an email to a bunch of people, I used to be able to compose the list on the fly by going through my "Contacts" (who were just people I had emailed, maybe only once) and click on which ones I wanted to receive a given email. But Google changed the interface. Now I have to hem and haw and think of enough of a name to get Gmail to auto-complete.... The "Contacts" utility is just an interface for adding phone numbers and addresses. I don't want to spend a ton of time "grouping" people... and I certainly have no need for adding their phone numbers or addresses into my Gmail "Contacts".

Why can't I just press a button in the "To" field that says "Add from Contacts", then scroll through and make a list of who I'd like to add?

Synching notepad in iPod Touch 1.1.3

I'm pleasantly surprised by the usefulness of the applications Apple added with the February software update! But does anyone know if there is there a way to synch notes from the notepad application installed on iPod Touch with software version 1.1.3 onto my computer? I know I can email notes, but I'm looking for notes I can modify and synch back and fourth.

Yes, I had this experience as well. It all feels very accidental.

I'm excited about the other suggestions mentioned, but I'm really surprised that they're not promoted prominently in the stations (though I realize that one program is still in pilot mode). In the London Tub stations the OysterCard is incredibly prominent and it caused me to purchase on right away during my one week visit. I ride BART every week and had no idea about the options.

I hope BART advertises the new options quite visibly in the future. People will appreciate it!

Neil Fraser's reply to "Is it safe to upload private documents on Google Docs?" was just promoted to the most useful! Stephanie and 2 other people think it's one of the best replies.

Yes, Google Docs is very secure.

There are two tips which can greatly improve your safety:
1) When using an unencrypted wireless connection or some other network you don't really trust, use https://docs.google.com instead of http://docs.google.com. The extra 's' means 'secure'; all traffic is encrypted. The only down-side is it's a little bit slower.
2) When you use someone else's computer (especially at an Internet cafe or at a hotel), don't forget to logout of your Google account. And when logging in, don't check "remember my password". Pretty obvious.

Here at Google we use Docs to store all our confidential documents, spreadsheets and presentations. We use the same servers and we have no worries about people being able to see our data.

Let us know if you have any further questions or concerns. Thanks!

Stephanie started following the problem "Station Signage?" in Bay Area Rapid Transit.

Stephanie replied on February 28, 2008 04:01 to the question "Is the station Berkeley or Downtown Berkeley?" in Bay Area Rapid Transit:

It is SIMULTANEOUSLY in Berkeley and Downtown Berkeley, since Downtown Berkeley is in Berkeley, and the station is in Downtown Berkeley.

It is also two blocks from UC Berkeley. And about 5 blocks south and 5 bocks east of the North Berkeley station.

The Ashby station is also in Berkeley. I am glad they didn't call it South Berkeley BART.

Thanks for the good suggestions in this thread!

My BART cards demagnify if I put my phone and ticket in the same pocket, regardless of if the phone is off or on.... Sometimes if the phone and card are just in the same general vicinity, eg one in my pocket and one in my purse, which hangs near my pocket.

You can only get a refund at two stations in San Francisco. I got a replacement card for some of them; the attendant handed me back another stack and told me he couldn't refund them because I had purchased them with a credit card. He gave me a postage paid envelope and told me to mail them in to BART headquarters for a refund.....

I never received acknowledgment or a reply.
