Rebuild the Outlook for Mac 2011 database to resolve problems. I had a friend who had this problem and his Option key wasn’t working to hold when you would start Outlook. So this article mentions another way to do this. Nice work!

Vulnerability in Window 7 64-bit may be exploited by Safari | MacNN – StumbleUpon. A BSOD because of a badly executed browser instruction. That just shouldn’t happen. What doesn’t Microsoft understand that people want stable experiences not excuses?

Review: Microsoft Touch Mouse | Stuff.co.nz – StumbleUpon

Review: Microsoft Touch Mouse | Stuff.co.nz – StumbleUpon. This was a mostly negative review of the mouse. Says that it is not practical or easy to use as other mice. I wonder if Microsoft even considers its customers needs when they design things?Review: Microsoft Touch Mouse | Stuff.co.nz - StumbleUpon

New printing problem with InDesign CS4: Apple Support Communities

New printing problem with InDesign CS4: Apple Support Communities. Nicely done. Good detective work. So often people answer their own questions.

Wanted to let folks reading this know that I spoke with an Apple tech person and found that the 10.7.2 upgrade apparently is the culprit, and is incompatible with wireless printing to my Lanier printer. I CAN print connected through USB. That’s a work-around for now, but I’ll need to contact Lanier about upgrading their driver

for OS X 10.7.2.

Aisolve over on the Adobe board was also helpful in advising me that if I was able to generate a postscript file (which I was), and able to generate a PDF by distlling it through Adobe Distiller (which I am), then I can safely assume that the problem lies with the hardware, in this case the printer driver. This lines up with what Apple told me.

Thanks, Apple and Aisolve!
