Why is the woman with the Windows face? Isn’t it better if you took a picture of a man with a dog and put the Windows face on the dog?

hey msisaac,

i need help on a lenovo s10-2. i’ve watch a few videos but im still confuse on which cable connects to which cable once the usb hub is settle in

so basically what i think i know is, the touchscren ribbon cable needs to be connected to the already solder-in wire of the usb hub..the usb output cable (or is it call the usb harness) goes to the camera? what about the usb input cable? where does that go. and what cable goes on the motherboard… or there isnt need to be one?

i check my camera wire, and its a tiny piece of thing, have no idea how that can connect the to the usb hardness cable. i’ll recheck it again tho

sorry if i have confused you. i just need to know the basic connection and i should be good to go. thanks

Thank you–I was hoping I was not the only one who thought: Pretentious, unreal, basically Bullshit! In reality I think that a girl who is bright enough for the dialogue written for her would be from a family who insists she keeps the baby…the psychology, social standing, etc. just didn’t jive. Then at the end they are stil good friends and kiss after they sing a song? Cheese to my macaroni…VOMIT BS!

If Walmart or any physical store actually carried anything I was interested in buying, then I would go there myself. Unfortunately, I don’t feel like paying $30 for a 15′ cat5 cable, or $15 for a 2GB flash drive. I’d rather pay $4 online for the cable and $15 for a 16GB flash drive. I’m not a shut-in. I just prefer to get more for my money, and in order to do that, I am forced to order things online. Physical stores simply can’t match the variety or prices of online stores. They have too much overhead to pay for and not enough space to carry everything that I want or need.

Thankfully I wasn’t the first person who thought this movie was a waste of time.

@jess –

The best I can find is RouteBuddy. I have no idea if it would work with a touchscreen-modded “hackintosh”, but it looks like the only real software out there that provides turn-by-turn spoken directions and all that jazz. The only problem is that it looks like it might require a standalone GPS unit to download routes to and from. There is a free demo available, so you can try it out if you want. My suggestion would be to just load up Windows XP and run Garmin’s software if you’re really interested in S10-based GPS nav software.

@Jess –

I honestly never looked for a GPS system for the Mac OS X that I had installed. The best PC-based GPS system I found was made by Garmin and works like a charm on the S10. But it only runs on Windows. I think the lack of any touchscreen Macs could account for the lack of GPS systems for that OS. Of course, if a Mac tablet comes out soon, then that might change!

Hi! Your tutorial is wonderful and I can’t wait for my touch screen to arrive so I can mod my S10. I was just wondering, you mentioned using it for GPS and I wondered what GPS programs you’ve found for OS X? I haven’t really found any that do turn-by-turn or aren’t nautical-leaning, so I would love to hear what you’ve been looking at. Thanks!
