Is there a way to save the voicemail files from my iPhone 4?
DiskAid will do it. It's not expensive. I paid $9.90. And you don't have to jailbreak.

What really busts our budget are the mind-boggling amounts we spend on our entitlement programs--Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid (especially Medicare and Medicaid). These programs are wildly more expensive than any other budget items, and they're also growing like weeds.
If we don't get Medicare and Medicaid expenses under control, the USA will go broke, pure and simple. And yet, almost no one in Washington has the stones to even talk about this, let alone do something about it. They just kick the can down the road.
One of the problems with many of the 'solutions' means that as an after-affect, Americans will starve, and some may even die due to not getting necessary medical care. So yes, we, as a country, can cut back on these programs, but does that mean we should cut back these programs with their potential side-effects? How do people on this forum feel about budget reductions that will make people have to decide whether they get the medication that they need or eat more than once a day?
I don't think anyone can appreciate Medicare and (especially) Medicaid until you can see first hand just what these programs do for so many people.
Financial issues? Yes. Any good current solution?
Here is a place to start...we need to think long and hard about how we save money, as well as its potential benefits and consequences. We also need to think about how we can make our money go further than it currently is. Let's not cut back programs in the immediate; let's work from the bottom up. So my idea is to examine how we can keep the current level of quality (or increase it), while simultaneously reducing operating and administrative costs.
This is possible, at least in my field. One place to start would be reverting to the concept and practice of Evidence Based Medicine, which is using medical services and medication that has proven effectiveness. This means not using/paying for treatments of questionable outcomes or experimental and unproven medications. Often this actually results in a better outcome for both your pockets and your health, as newer medical technology is generally more expensive, and if you go right to using a treatment that we know does work, treatment comes quicker because time is not wasted on things which do not work. This concept seems to have originated from numerous European countries, and IMO was perfected by the Nordic Countries years ago.
Here is an example; let's take the top selling drugs in the US:
1) Lipitor ($14.5 Billion)
2) ADVAIR ($6 Billion)
3) Plavix ($6 Billion)
4) Nexium ($5 Billion)
1) Evidence of Lipitor actually affecting ultimate outcomes is questionable. Yes, it lowers stats on paper, but if it reduces the chances of dying is still disputed. Also, it has a side effect profile which can make one's life a living nightmare.
2) ADVAIR is probably worth the money given its ability and lower side effect profile than other steroids used for asthma
3) Plavix outcomes can also be disputed
4) Nexium is essentially Prilosec. Ultimate outcomes of 40mg Nexium versus an equal dose Prilosec are almost identical, and differences are not statistically significant. Nexium is marketed as being better because Prilosec through sneaky studies that were published by the pharmaceutical company that makes it by using a lower dose of Prilosec and testing Nexium against medical issues that Prilosec was never marketed for. It is a Me Too Drug to the tenth power. A year's worth of generic Prilosec costs less than one week of Nexium.
See how I am working this? Things like this can be considered and the effectiveness versus the costs needs to be given more detail. Just my 2 cents.

All I want is a little scale in the corner. Is that too much to ask? It's impossible to figure out how far away things are visually. In the heat of navigation (especially via car) time is of the essence and having to re-calculate the route just to figure out the distance to destination from the current location takes too long.

Those MKII MR2s and the FC RX7 are extra awesome looking as well. I really, REALLY love 90s-ish Japanese cars. So many amazing vehicles back then.

Nobody really answered my question. I hate to repost it again just trying to find an answer. I tried to call the at&t rep and they don't know what going on.
I had iPhone 3GS 32GB had it about almost a year. They let me do an early upgrade for the new iPhone 4 in June when it came out for the price of $299 with a two year agreement.
The question I have is let just say the new iPhone 5 comes out with the same price point let say June release like last year. By this new $50 thing does that mean I pay for $549 price point or can I just pay the $299 plus the two year agreement like I did last year?
Thanks guys

I find that people who claim supporting Macs is just a labor-intensive as supporting Windows machines are those who haven't implemented Macs properly and really don't know what they are doing.
Why do Windows machines use Group Policies? To push software out to machines, sure -but the real reason is to lock down machines that are by their very design security risks.
I have to use Windows 7 at work in order to run Cisco tools I use. It is a brand new machine, but nevertheless
1. I have had to fix the registry twice after installing Opera -if you install that into Windows 7 the system starts generating security errors and warnings, and you can no longer open hyperlinks in Outlook. This is Microsoft preventing you from installing 3rd party browsers into Windows 7 -I don't have these issues on my Mac (I run 3 browsers there)
2. Many 3rd party and legacy applications do not work correctly, even when run in compatibility mode. I had to rig the system to run some of these apps (more wasted time).
3. The antivirus slows down the system
I could go on and on, but this is a productivity issue: I am not as productive on Windows as I am on a Mac. Microsoft has been in disarray for years and it shows. Why on Server 2008 does the utility "Server Management" and "Manage Server" point to 2 totally different applications? Sounds like someone is shipping off projects to India and not paying attention.
Now before I get accused of MS bashing, I will point out that MS makes excellent front-end applications such as Office. This is where the company shines (Access is really great product). They just make crappy operating systems and servers.
If you use Open Directory and Preferences, you can control networked Macs. You can use shared libraries to further enhance this. Problem with a mac? Use screen sharing to go check it out. I put in a all-OSX network in a medical center not long ago -not one MS product used. It even included iPads that doctors would carry around to interface with a web-enabled database. Aside from a general question here and there, I never get called about serious system issues. That network is rock-solid.
People stick with MS because that is what they know, and they are scared of OSX/Macs. We are moving to a web-based infrastructure and the old client-server model that MS is based on is going away ...

I'm opening like 7 tabs in Safari (2 of which are youtubes) and others are regular text-based pages. I also open iTunes with music on and MSN messenger. My Spec is below (MacBook Pro). Why is safari runs extremely slow and used up 1GB+ of Ram? I wouldn't have expected 4GB of Ram to run out this quickly.
anyone knows the solutions? thanks :D

Thanks for the donations by all who are eligible. I normally give every 8 weeks but am currently ineligible due to recent travels.
The rules on eligibility are pretty clear, dealing with different factors that can seriously raise the risk of infection or illness by the donor, the recipient or both. Everywhere I've donated, the questionnaire has been written as "have you done such-and-so" rather than passing judgment about one's life.
This probably isn't the right forum to debate the various factors and risks. Probably better suited for a medical research forum.
I disagree. I think this is a perfectly good place to discuss the matter.
No matter of public health policy is exists in a void. All public health concerns have a social component.
This policy will change over time, as a result of changing social mores, changing demographics and better detection technology. Even if this policy is not now discriminatory, for the latter two reasons, it will become very discriminatory. The timing and threshold for any given country or area will be different but as that line is crossed, there should be a group of people pointing out that a policy such as this is unfair and prejudicial. Not everyone will agree as that time comes, but things don't change because everyone kept quiet.
I don't think that threshold has been crossed in the US and the calls for lifting the restrictions are premature.

I'll probably get one, I'm so sick of my dumb phone and tired of seeing the wife with her iP4. It'll just put me in line for the iP6 upgrade path, don't know if I would even use the extra HP with the iP5. Plus, I would think you would be able to sell a genuine white iP4 on ebay and get a good chunk.
