The issue was very much “in my face”, as one of the merges was my brother and mother. For which I am pretty sure they are separate entities, both alive and kicking.
Browsing for a solution, I found these links (the first one got me to the others):
The solution is per device (the sync breaks on your device, not on Google Contacts).
The steps of the solution were not completely clear, so below are screenshots. Click on each screenshot to get a larger crisp 768×1280 HD image. Read the rest of this entry »
It contains all the stuff that geeks like me will find out themselves over time, but in a well paced and complete manner:
… to give new users to Windows 8 a near-complete understanding of the major features including the Start Screen, Hot Corners, Full Screen Apps, Desktop Apps, The Store, Browsing, Doing Social Stuff, using the Mouse effectively and exploiting keyboard Shortcuts.
It also shows what a power user like Scott uses besides the standard Microsoft Windows/Office combo.
Especially since there is still software like Garmin Training Center for Mac on Mac OS X with – in the System Preferences – the Measurement Units set as Metric, insists on entering weight as lb, and workout distance in miles.
The reason is that Garmin Training Center on Mac OS X has its own “Measurement Units” settings. Where Mac OS lets the system wide setting be either “Metric” or ” US”, Garmin choose between “Metric” and “Statute” (the latter is default, not the OS X setting).
there is a Statute Mile which is the default Mile in the US, but differs from the Survey Mile.
Garmin has head offices and most of their customers outside the USA, so why insist on US units being default, and why not link the setting to the Mac OS X Preference?
UX #fail.
Oh BTW: if you connect your Garmin device, and GTC still indicates “no fitness device was found”, then use a different USB Cable and don’t connect it through a hub: the device is very picky on talking over USB (charging over USB works with virtually any USB cable).
Garmin Training Center on Mac OS X insists in imperial units, even though the system is configured as metric.
Garmin Training Center on Mac OS X has its own “Measurement Units” settings. Where Mac OS lets the system wide setting be either “Metric” or ” US”, Garmin choose between “Metric” and “Statute” (the latter is default, not the OS X setting).
Even after setting the Garmin Training Center to “Metric”, it still lists “Miles” in your workouts.
This year a I expect vendors to deliver Windows 8 based computers that resemble a lot of the Microsoft PixelSense (formerly “Microsoft Surface”) technology:
10 or more finger touch
guesture support
multi-user
capability to see more than just fingers (i.e. tags, or mobile controllers)
LPG is Liquefied Petroleum Gas. CNG is Compressed Natural Gas. Both are good fuels for cars. I favour LPG, for two reasons. First, it often can be obtained as a rest-product of cracking crude oil, second it has a much higher energy density than CNG.
For each country, you should
download the POI files (preferably in the OV2 format)
download the icon bitmap file
make sure the name portion of the files are the same
While fooling around with Microsoft Surface, you are astonished with the number of fingers it supports: 10 is no problem on the Samsung SUR40 which can also do full HD resolution (more specs here).
Not so with the standard Windows 7 touch support: that has only 2.
As I want to increase that to better mimic the development environment to the actual environment a few notes:
The Wiert Corner - irregular stream of stuff
