The only problem I had with running it on an apple is the fact I had to hide the dock. (option + command + d) Other than that it should run on an apple.

Apple strikes again?

Two security researchers have discovered that iPhones and 3G-equipped iPads regularly record and store location information to a hidden file that is backed up to iTunes and even transferred to new devices. While the information isn't necessarily accessible to remote hackers, the researchers noted that it does raise some important concerns about privacy.

Hi,
Need some tech advice. Haven't bought a laptop in 10 years, or a new phone in almost 4 (Palm Treo). Coming back to the line after years away... Is there a consensus on what is the best computer/phone combination for airline pilot use right now? I don't have a good idea about these netbooks or the iPad.

I see folks posting about droid apps for the schedule, and about trying to do training on various laptops with problems...
-Looking for a system that will let me do Microsoft Outlook with seamless syncing to a phone, I use that for business a ton.
-I'd like a phone that lets me do most of my pilot stuff.
-I'd like a computer that's light, can watch a movie or do CD training stuff for upcoming Delta training, can run Outlook, and can browse web. Maybe read books. Don't need much else, nothing hi-powered I'd think needed.

Any good advice appreciated, need to buy within 2 weeks for training!

If you don't need a word processor type application, go with the IPAD. It rocks and can do everything you need while on the road.

It doesn't run CD training - might need a netbook for that.

forgot to bid

****ing Atlanta. < word i don't use by the way lightly

Delta Employees Attacked On MARTA Train

ATLANTA -- Two Delta Airlines employees were attacked on a MARTA train.

Violent Attack On MARTA Train Under Investigation

MARTA police said they were investigating the incident. A witness said he watched the violent attack unfold Sunday.

"We were intimidated. Everyone was terrified. People were trying to run, but there was nowhere to run," the man, who requested anonymity, told Channel 2's Erica Byfield.

Around midnight, a MARTA train pulled up to the Garnett Station in Downtown Atlanta, authorities said. The witness said up to 30 people boarded the southbound train.

"Once the doors opened, it was like a bum rush of people," he told Byfield. "The next thing you know, they started just beating him. There was blood everywhere. People were hollering and screaming," he said.

A MARTA police report identified two victims as Delta Airlines employees. The report said one victim had a soda can smashed in his face and his wallet stolen, while the other was punched repeatedly in his face.

The witness said the attackers were teens chanting "B. F. P. L."

"I don't know if that's a gang," the witness said.

By the time the train made it to West End stop, some riders were desperate to get off, but the car doors would not open, the witness said.

"So basically we were just trapped," he said.

The witness told Byfield he saw the teens exit the train at the Oakland City stop.

"For people to have to witness that it is ridiculous," he said.

Lived in Atlanta a long time, it is getting ridiculous, nothing but shootings and car jackings in downtown lately. I hope somebody finds these pieces of **** and does something really bad to them. Don't ride MARTA through downtown, the way things are going lately you are just asking for trouble.
