5 New Features on Ipad 2!

A Chinese-language Economy Daily News (EDN) report citing industry sources claims Apple will add five new features to the iPad 2: video phone, better mobility, USB port, new display technology and 3-axis gyroscopes.

The video-phone feature (probably FaceTime) is expected to benefit Apple iPad's webcam suppliers, while iPad 2 may adopt smaller size panels featuring thinner glass. The USB feature will allow the device to be more connection friendly, while Apple's "Retina Display" technology will enhance image and color output performance. The 3-axis gyroscopes will enhance gaming, added the paper.

Light Peak, The New Connection Interface from APPLE and INTEL = 10GBPS

Well, I am sure a lot of people already know about this but today is the first time I have read about it.

This is amazing. Imagine 10GBPS. One universal port for all your connections.

-------------

Light Peak, a 10 Gbps optical interface for peripherals developed by Apple and Intel, could appear in Macs earlier than previously expected.

According to CNet:

Light Peak is now on track to appear in products in the first half of 2011–and likely earlier in the year than later, according to an industry source familiar with the progress of the technology. Light Peak is significantly faster than even USB 3.0, carrying data at 10 gigabits per second in both directions simultaneously.

Light Peak will enable users to connect a variety of devices into a single Light Peak port and has the potential to replace almost all the ports on your computer, including networking, video out, and general connectivity. Translation: Ethernet, MiniDisplay Port, USB and FireWire. Apple reportedly developed the interoperable technology in 2007 and brought it to Intel to create.

Light Peak is sexy because it’s based on fiber optic technology that is capable of transferring data at 10 Gbps — dramatically faster than all of the current interconnect standards, including USB 3.

* 400 Mbps - FireWire
* 800 Mbps - FireWire 800
* 480 Mbps - USB 2.0
* 3.2 Gbps - USB 3.0

At 10 Gbps you could transfer a full-length Blu-Ray movie in less than 30 seconds. According to Intel, Light Peak can scale to 10 0Gbps over the next decade and has a number of other benefits.

With Apple skipping over USB 3.0 in the latest batch of MacBook Pros and iMacs, it seems like Cupertino may be putting all of its eggs into the Light Peak basket. If this most recent report pans out you can probably expect to see Light Peak ports beginnin

How to Share your Windows Desktop's optical drive with your Macbook AIR

Well, I came across this issue because I wanted to try to install my Starcraft 2 game on my Macbook Air to see how it plays on a MAC.  I called up Richard Lee of ICenter Cebu and he introduced me to this idea of sharing my Windows PC's optical drive to my Macbook Air.

You need to install a file on your PC.  Richard told me that this is on the DVD that came with my Air, problem was, it didn't come with a DVD, only a USB reinstall Stick. 

Quickly googled it and I found it.  It is actually very simple.

1.) Download and install this file from the apple site and install it on your Windows PC.
2.) Go to Windows Control Panel and look for "DVD or CD Sharing Options"
3.) Enable it.

Thats it! Now, any disc you put on those drives can be access through the MAC Laptop via your "Macintosh HD/Finder" where you will see your PC's name under the REMOTE DISC Device.

Currently installing Starcaft II now.

Who need's an external Optical Drive? :-)

Enjoy!! :-)

Music Dissappears when you upgrade your iphone to OS 4.2.1- Solution!

 
If your music has disappeared after updating to iOS 4.2.1, there is an easy fix.

Users in the Apple Discussion forums have found that if you plug your iPhone into the computer, open iTunes and play a song from on your device, then sync, the music will magically reappear.

Give it a try!

Iphone Users: Read this if you plan to upgrade to IOS 4.2.1 and want to Jailbreak or UNLOCK.

 

It seems that Apple has decided to put a baseband requirement on iOS. So at this point, if you are using Saurik’s server or tiny umbrella and trying to restore 4.2.1 on an iPhone 4, you will end up in recovery mode and tiny umbrella will not be able to pull you out of recovery. In this case, you will have to restore 4.1 again or you will have to restore 4.2.1 stock and be tether jailbroken. (Of course, I recommend 4.1 and not bothering with 4.2.1 at all). If you are an unlocker, this is a no brainer. Do not update to 4.2.1 even to test it at this point.

Griffin SLAP wristband watch for IPAD nano 6th GEN!!!

 


Yeah!! Finally. It is Out!!!! I will most likely get one for Christmas!

It's metal (slap!). It's silicone (slap!). It's metal and it's silicone...

Remember the slap bracelet? Remember how much fun it was? We've brought it back.
We've wrapped a memory-metal wristband with soft silky silicone. Slap's flexible, spring-steel band lies flat and rigid until you slap! it onto your arm. Snap Slap open, then snap Slap shut around your wrist. (Say that 10 times real fast.) The Slap band self-adjusts to a comfortable fit, exactly your size.
For your iPod, we've equipped Slap with a generous frame of silicone that holds your iPod securely and shrugs off bumps and jolts. Slap protects the dock connector and volume controls but leaves the headphone port open so you can plug in and listen any time. Speaking of time, you can press the Sleep/Wake button through the frame to check the time or control iTunes. The watch face display of your iPod nano turns Slap into a fun, handy classic timepiece.
Your iPod nano plus our Slap wristband case — together they create the most useful and entertaining wristwatch your arm has ever seen.

Features

• Flexible spring-steel band wrapped in soft silicone snaps securely around your wrist to keep your iPod nano close at hand
• Thick silicone frame protects your Multi-Touch display, volume controls and dock connector
• Frame covers the volume and sleep/wake buttons with protective silicone but still allows touch-through control of your iPod nano
