I have an iPod, not an iPhone. However, the AppleMobileDeviceService.exe process is running in the background. I have never seen it gobble up cycles. It normally sits at "00" CPU. When I plug in the iPod, it jumps to an incredible "01" for a very short interval and then returns to "00". So, does anyone else have this process gobbles up to 50% of the CPU?

"It would be Yahoo's responsibility"......and you know this how? I would suspect that in an operation of this size there would be various responsibilities and Sky would have a large say in the specifications and implmentation...maybe I'm wrong though.

Good customer service requires that you think (or pretend to think) like a user. When dealing with thousands of customers, one must think at the lowest common denominator and that is someone who has NO idea what POP3 or IMAP is. Their email client has a facility to leave messages on the server, so some use that facility. The chaos that this can cause in migration would never be understood by the majority of users. I would suggest that those managing the migration were so wrapped up in the technical aspects of the migration that they forgot about the consequences of what they thought they were doing. Flawed methodology will ruin the best of intentions. The Sky is the limit with introverted, narrow minded incompetence. The results speak for themselves.

Not being able to believe in any form of super being, I find the Bible and its ilk just best selling novels. However, if it weren't for computers, we wouldn't be discussing this, so.... In the beginning GOD created the Bit and the Byte. And from those he created the Word. And there were two Bytes in the Word; and nothing else existed. And God separated the One from the Zero; and he saw it was good. And God said - Let the Data be; And so it happened. And God said - Let the Data go to their proper places. And he created floppy disks and hard disks and compact disks. And God said - Let the computers be, so there would be a place to put floppy disks and hard disks and compact disks. Thus God created computers and called them hardware. And there was no Software yet. But God created programs; small and big... And told them - Go and multiply yourselves and fill all the Memory. And God said -I will create the Programmer; And the Programmer will make new programs and govern over the computers and programs and Data. And God created the Programmer; and put him in Data Center;

I believe the term "high fidelity" has been removed from the dictionary these days. Listening to MP3 music at high levels through ear buds has probably robbed many ears of any fidelity. Not that MP3 could be deemed to have much fidelity anyway.

And the cows would be happier

It's too late already.

Warning, warning Will Robinson. Activating Skynet now.............

Scene 1: Police car pulls along side Renault. Officer opens fire on the radiator, piercing it with several bullet holes. Radiator drains. Engine overheats. Berserk computer stubbornly refuses to stop engine. Engine finally seizes. Renault grinds to a halt. Bruce Willis congratulated on another successful hostage situation.

Does this mean that the movie Battleship isn't true. We really are alone???

The Greens are watermelons. Green on the outside, red on the inside. I hope you're happy about that.

"and you can't communicate about it?" Mobile phones are the only method of communications.

I understand that you have no sense of humour. Perhaps it just whizzed over your head...Sigh.

Sigh....X.500 anyone?

Some of these centre designers need to work in bad places before getting their credentials. Common sense does not reign supreme. It is not just diesel supply that is the problem; generators, pumps and electrical gear in basements is a disaster. The Japanese nuclear disaster would probably have been averted if the generators were on the roof instead of in the basement in a Tsunami prone area - loose power, loose pumps and you loose a nuclear reactor.
