			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve just discovered a really bothersome bug using Excel 2008 for Mac (I&#8217;m using the current latest version 12.2.3 of Excel 2008 for Mac). My date columns keep on insisting on <a title="MAC 2008 Date format" href="http://forum.soft32.com/mac/International-Date-Formats-Excel-ftopict109018.html" target="_blank">using the US format of month-days-year</a>, even when the mac time setting is set to Brussels, Belgium. There does not seem to be a way to fix the setting in Excel, and similar date format problems appear on forums already <a title="Excel 2004 Date format" href="http://forum.soft32.com/mac/reverts-date-format-ftopict84384.html" target="_blank">since Excel 2004</a>.</p>
<p>The workaround I found was to select the date format 01-Mar-2009, in other words show the month as a word instead of as a number. This way I&#8217;m sure that the date I&#8217;m typing in is correct. But really this is annoying me immensely.</p>
<p>Another workaround (haven&#8217;t tried it yet) so that Excel uses the underlying Mac date format is to NOT preselect CELLs and format them as DATES &#8211; just type the date in a normal cell using slashes and Excel will then convert the values to the correct international date as set by the mac&#8230; I&#8217;ll try that next time.</p>
<p>WHY hasn&#8217;t this been resolved yet !? What&#8217;s so hard about doing this the right way ? I know the answer ofcourse &#8211; it&#8217;s a big company and everyone there has to jump through 15 hoops simultaneously while hopping on one leg and signing delivery forms with a pen that only works 1 in 3 times <img src='http://www.boschmans.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In case you have the following problem scenario on your iPhone, here&#8217;s a quick tip :</p>
<ul>
<li>sound via headphones, no sound via the speakers</li>
<li>your phone rings ok, but</li>
<li>everything else you can&#8217;t hear except via the  headphones</li>
</ul>
<p>Then you need to plug in-and-out your headphones. Go on, have some iPhone intercourse !</p>
<p>Do that about 3 to 6 times and normally it&#8217;ll start working again. I noticed that my audio output started working again when suddenly my ipod screen came up.</p>
