It drives me bonkers.. Especially when somewhere that's moving, or i pick up my phone and it's all landscape and jams. I fully respect those who like portrait options for various things, but let's please have it as an option as i cant stand it!

William marked one of Helen's replies in NHS as useful. Helen replied to the idea "Everyone in the UK should have a check-up every 6 months by their GP.".

I thought the Government has started to do this with over 50's.. and it's encouraged for ppl with conditions - diabetes, smoking, cardiac, etc... Are we not at risk of just encouraging a comfort service (and adding associated cost) for the "worried-well", rather than truly targeting the limited resources?

Ok, it seems to work - by adding the code to the Footer.php (or similar file), just as you would with a static html file. Good work!

Doesnt display properly with IE8 (unless in Compatibility mode)

Using IE8 (beta 2) and the white background is slightly off-centre with the front section of the SmartLook. it works ok, but cosmetically compromised.

I realise this is beta, etc, but i am presuming this is something to do with the CSS/ etc changes and worth noting as it will be released at some point!

Works fine with Compatibility mode enabled.

William reported a problem in Apple on November 08, 2008 14:49:

A real let down

I should never have signed up. I was naive and thought it would help me with my iPhone - keeping contacts etc synced. the PC experience (syncing capabilities, and browser choices) is really second-class to the mac one - and i dont appreciate that. i pay the same amount and am loyal to apple. In fact, it taints my experience of using the iPhone. Windows Live and Windows mobile sync better than this.

William gave praise in Microsoft Live Labs on November 08, 2008 14:39:

Incredible technology which is so cool and useful

Quite incredible technology. I look forward to this being baked into some Microsoft products (Windows Live Photo Gallery wave 4 perhaps?!), rather than staying as a relative stand-alone. if this was an apple product people / press would be going wild. great work!

A comment on the question "Apple's own Mobileme demos done in Firefox (on Windows). Why not Safari?!" in Apple:

Totally agree, Alex, but it is odd isnt it?! – William, on July 18, 2008 11:17

William replied on July 17, 2008 17:52 to the question "UK Iphone" in Apple:

o2 could have better managed communication amongst their staff at the call centres as their are pages of frustration on the o2 forums about staff contracting themselves, but the website issues were to be expected. I ordered mine fine at 08:00 on the Monday morning, and received it on the Friday as planned. I suspect that the exclusivity deal wont stick for that much longer.. ATT may have a 5 year deal. I doubt Apple would have done the same in subsequent territories

William replied on July 17, 2008 17:47 to the idea "Bluetooth not working on iPhone 3g - by fault or design?" in Apple:

I have to ask myself this question: How many people in the service provider stores (o2, att, orange etc etc) are actually letting everybody know that Blutooth is 'crippled'.. When i'm told a phone has Blutooth I assume that i can sync contact cards, photos etc..

William replied on July 17, 2008 17:42 to the question "iPod touch users squeezed again?!?" in Apple:

While I am not debating the merits of charging for an update (that is reasonable, I'll admit that),I'm just a little confused that these charges started out as being necessary "for accounting purposes" (when adding aditional functionality) and now migrated into a charge for the function itself. Whatever happened to the accounting issues? And if this is the case, has Apple paid out for all iPhone users upgrading the software?

William replied on July 17, 2008 17:40 to the question "Is there any way to lock the iphone keypad while on a call?" in Apple:

I keep pressing "mute" during a call.. .the screen seems to dim (So that sensor works), but .. not lock.. It looks fine the rest of the time.

Apple's own Mobileme demos done in Firefox (on Windows). Why not Safari?!

I was wondering why Apple's own mobileme demo's / screenshots are using Firefox rather than Safari on Windows... seems a bit odd really.
