Why did Nokia dumb down Nokia Maps with each new v...

I recently did a YouTube video comparing Nokia Maps to the GPS apps available on the iPhone AND Nokia Maps on Nokia N86 8MP.
The interesting part is that how many more functions does N86's old Nokia Maps have over the new Nokia Maps on the N8.
Lots of functionality has been lost, while all the other GPS apps got new functionality, Nokia Maps is instead dropping functionality left and right.
Why Nokia?
Here's the video(s) BTW, if you are familiar with Nokia Maps, you might want to start watching from the middle of Part 3.

Thanks! And I really hope Nokia will take note and integrate those old and useful features back into Nokia Maps.

Oh, for sure I agree noone is pushing me, but the problem is... there's not a new-technology minimalist phone out there, as far as I know.
I want a C2-01.5 like I have now, but with a faster processor and more memory. Same size, a bigger (less edge margin) screen'd be nice, but whatever. A bigger battery and perhaps an even skinnier/smaller form factor. I want the OS to be super configurable and have options on top of options on top of options (and if it let me disable/hide the things I don't use - to reduce the clutter of the menus, I'd be in frickin' heaven!). Finally, I want them to put WiFi into this simple small stick. And the simplicity of the basic Nokia keyboard layout (with slightly raised keys {great job on the C2-01.5} that I can feel with my fingers) would be awesome too. If anyone can think of something like this described dream-phone, please do let me know. I'll build you a small temple and pray at it weekly. As far as it goes with this experiment, I'm sending the N301 back. And I had such high hopes!
Funny and sad at the same time.
Thanks, guys!

P.S. Nokia, if you wanted to hire me for product design, I'm all ears. Finland's a nice country. Lotsa salmon and saunas and pretty blonde girls.

Why did Apple dumb down reminders in Mountain Lion iCal app?

I'd been running Leopard for a few years and was perfectly happy with it's functionality. Then I bought a new Mac and it came with Mountain Lion. iCal reminders pop up on the desktop and offer only two options to address them: snooze, close. Before I could select edit to customize continued reminders for any calendar item. So, dealing with calendar alerts is now just annoying. These kinds of "improvements" do not reflect well on the development management of their software products. And it does not make me a happier Apple customer.

Why did apple mail get much worse with lion osx? I can't add recipients without copy and paste?

why did apple mail get much worse with lion osx? I can't add recipients without copy and paste?

I went through updates on my three newest Macs this week. As I stated I'm talking about iTunes 10.5.1 (42). I am checking for updates now and I see 10.5.2 is now available. I'll know in about 15 minutes if this issue is fixed or not.
15 minutes later:
I must have updated this PPC G5 a day or two before iTunes 10.5.2 came out. I was able to update to 10.5.2 (11) and this copy/paste bug is fixed. I'm happy again.

What is krb5kdc, why did it interfere after using or sync'ing new MBA

what is krb5kdc, why did it interfere after using or sync'ing new MBA ???
It showed up in console and other logs and activity monitor after sync'ing others with new MBA late 2010.
Caused keychain problems and connection problems to my well-used secure wifi network and other processes.
Never happened before the New MBA late 2010, now causing problems with other computers synched via MobileMe after initial sync with new MBA

Why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal

why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal.

Not sure of what? In your second response you said the issue was with airplay. You were also having issues connecting laptop to computer, which points to a laptop connectivity issue. I simply asked if home sharing was an issue as well, since that will confirm the laptop as the cause. Your response that home sharing is on doesn't really help since that doesn't itself have a bearing on airplay nor does it answer the question in regards to if home sharing is working on Apple TV
If you have a further question you will need to be specific.

Did you tube app go away with the new iOS 6?

Did you tube app go away with the new iOS 6?

Yes. You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version), or try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)

How can I get album artwork to automatically appear with each new episode?

I have a podcast subscription through the iTunes store and I dragged a piece of artwork into the little box that says "Drag Album Artwork Here" since when I tried to right-click and "Download Album Artwork" nothing happened. How do I get that piece of album artwork to automatically appear with each new episode of the podcast that gets downloaded instead of having to click and drag the image from my desktop every time a new episode gets downloaded?
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. It seems like what I'm wanting to do is rather impossible, although I hope the iTunes developers can include such a feature in a later release of the software.

Must I print out a new Alignment Page with each new cartridge?

Do I need to print out a new Alignment Page with each new cartridge I install on my HP Photosmart C4480? Or can I save and reuse the initial one I got when first installing my printer cartridges? The Alignment pages all seem to be identical when I print them out with each new cartridge I install, but I'm not examining them with a microscope.
If I can save and reuse the Alignment page with sucessive cartridge replacements, when I am following the procedure for installing a new cartridge and the printer prompts me to print out a new Alignment page, is there an option to skip that step? I don't recall seeing that option on the control panel window on the printer.
Thank you!
This question was solved.

YOU DO NOT NEED A NEW ALIGNMENT PAGE EVERY TIME YOU INSTALL A NEW CARTRIDGE
I registered just to respond to this
The alignment pages all look the same because they are all the same, pretty sure its a scam to let you use ink. [snip]
I am pretty sure you do not understand what the alignment page is for - it provides information for alignment of black vs. color and also is used to calibrate the operating energy for the color cartridge.
You may be able to "fool" the printer by reusing an old alignment page, but the quality will suffer as you will not be running at the optimum energy.
You are certainly free to do what you want with your printer but please do not mislead others with misinformation.

Why did you buy a Nokia Laptop?

Just curious to know why anyone would buy a Nokia Laptop over the many alternatives out there.

I bought it for 5 reasons:
1. I liked the design and the Alu housing - it's really well build. I had an Acer netbook prior to this and it sucked in every way. hated the keyborad, the mouse pad, the screen, the plastic housing and the Acer name.
2. It has built in easy accessible 3G sim card slot, not like the Acer where the slot was behind the battery. It also has GPS and a nice SD card reader, which my camera also uses. So it's nice to have with me on vacation. HDMI is nice too.
3. It has a VERY nice battery time - I actually get 8-10 hours out of it effectively surfing the net full time.
4. I like the screen resolution, you can't go higher on a 10.1" screen.
5. I like the Nokia brand, it's Scandinavian like myself
What I feel they could have done better to justify the high price tag:
1. 11" screen instead of the thick black border around the 10" screen.
Do we need 1" border, ½" would have done it.
2. We need more ram, which we can't have because the 1 Gb ram is fixed to the MB.
3. I need light in the keybord, even though the battery life will suffer.....place an on/off light button for the keyborad in the next edition please !
4. Need a faster CPU. The Atom is outdated already.
That's it - 4 negative points. Correct these and you have a PERFECT netbook !!

Why did my replacement iPod Touch come with iOS 4.3.5?

My other iPod wasn't working so I got a new one but this one comes with iOS 4.3.5? Why did that happen? And it is slow too, is that from 4.3.5 too? Should I update or no? Cause I had battery issues on 5.1.1 on my old iPod and I don't want that happening on my new iPod. Thanks :)

Likely because when the replacement was refurbished, 4.3.5 was the latest iOS.
It is up to you if you want to update to iOS 5.1.1.

Why did my Macbook pro not come with a Lion CD or USB?

I have a MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011 model with lion installed. The mac came with lion. But why did my mac not come with a CD or USB for lion?

No Mac comes with a DVD or USB for Lion, everything is done online now. For those who absolutely must have a USB you can buy Lion on a USB drive for $70 or thereabouts.
If you're concerned about drive repair and re-installing Lion, these articles may be of interest:

Apple why did you take the Sites folder with my website in it? Nobody helps!

Since upgrading to Mavericks I lost my local website folder that used to be in the Sites folder!
Error: Can't connect, check your info! Oh Apple why did you take it? "H E L P P L E A S E!"

Thank you Barney-15E
I have no clue why this is or why I am getting this error in Mavericks. All I have is a local website folder in the Sites folder using Dreamweaver CS4 to update my files, working perfect on my other drive running 10.6.8 . Why I cant update and get the error above is the reason I am posting here. (and several other spots)
You said:
"First off, FTP is disabled in Mavericks, which is why you likely cannot FTP into your local Mac--why are you ftp'ing to the Mac you are working on?"
You said:
"Your Sites folder is in your Home folder. However, if you created it somewhere else, you'll have to figure that out."
When I say my Sites folder is not in my Home folder you can bank on it. No I never changed any folders in there.

Why does Firefox 6 struggle and stutter with the new 4Od?

Why does Firefox 6 struggle with the new 4Od?
OK, so here’s my question. I have been using Firefox for years; it’s a wonderful piece of software and an excellent browser. Recently I’ve been having problems with plugin-container.exe. The general advice has been to make sure that Flash Player is up to date (10.3.183.7) and that Firefox is up to date (6.0.1). I still have problems, particularly on YouTube and the new 4Od site, so much so that I used about:config to disable “dom.ipc.plugins.enabled”, I set the value to false. Plugin-container.exe was, prior to this, hogging all the CPU it could get its grubby little mits on, this no longer happens but whilst watching 4Od Firefox eats my entire CPU and the rendered video stream is filled with stutter, almost like frame dropping. It’s fun to watch Firefox struggle, but its no fun trying to watch a program. In desperation I downloaded and installed Chrome. Watching 4Od my CPU usage dropped from 98-100% down to 82%. I don’t particularly want to use Chrome but I do increasingly use my browser to watch streaming video content. Incidentally, if I use Firefox to watch the BBC Iplayer I only burn 35% CPU using Firefox. Oh, and I’m XPSP3, up to date.
How do I solve this stuttering problem?
Is this a codec issue with-in Flash Player?
Does 4Od use some sort of unsupported codec?
I can’t be the only one out on this limb and I know the problem solvers like a good challenge. Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated.

You can use Themes or Personas to change the display of Firefox browser.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/themes/
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/personas/
You can Middle-click a link using Mouse or use '''CTRL + Left-click''' shortkeys to open a link in a New Tab. See these articles:
* [[Mouse shortcuts]]
* [[Keyboard shortcuts]]
Check and tell if its working.
Not related to your problem but some of your Firefox Plugins are out-dated, so you need to Update them.
-> Update All your Firefox Plugins by visiting the following link:
