Apple’s recent iPad has been truly revolutionary, but the Canadian company Axiotron has been making a MacBook based tablet for some time now. They basically transform an existing MacBook into a true tablet computer using additional Wacom parts. The system is geared for creative and design professionals. Unlike the iPad, the Modbook is a full computer system with a fast processor, hard drive, memory, WIFI, Bluetooth, and every other feature a MacBook and MacOS offers. Reviews and videos of the Modbook in actiion can be found in Axiotron’s website.
Users that use Entourage and ActiveSync devices like the iPhone have probably noticed that messages sent from their mobile device do not properly show in their Sent Items folder. More precisely, the messages appear listed in the Sent Items folder in Entourage, but do not display a recipient and show no subject. The bug is actually in ActiveSync within Exchange 2003 and not in Entourage. An article in The Entourage Blog describes the problem in depth and also provides a handy Applescript that alleviates the issue. The script can be downloaded via a link in the blog article.
I remember learning to ride a bicycle. The process is usually the same: start with training wheels, raise them gradually, and finally try without any help. The Gyrobike wheels will change this. A Gyrowheel has small embedded gyros and is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery. Settings allow for adjustment of the amount of assistance needed for the young rider. Reduce the amount of assistance gradually and you will have the youngster riding by themslves in no time. See it in action here.
I used to use a bookmark management site called Backflip since the late 90′s. After the Internet bubble burst some years ago, the offering was discontinued. Presently, there are several other great services that can store all your bookmarks and make them accessible form different devices and computers.
Google has a comparable service as part of their plethora of web applications. The bookmarks are easily accessible if using Firefox and the Google Toolbar.
Delicious happens to be one of the most popular “social” bookmarking sites. Delicious makes it easy to share your bookmarks and also lear what other people are bookmarking.
If you use a Mac and an iPhone, Apple’s .Me service keeps bookmarks synchronized between devices. These include any MacOS computer, iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad. Synchronizing is automatic. In other words, you will be able to access that great website your friend recommended in your home computer after bookmarking it on your iPhone.
