I’m going to be on the TUAW.com live TalkCast tonight along with some other new MacBook Air owners chatting about our experiences so far with the newest laptop from Apple. The show starts at 7pm PST. You can listen live via TalkShoe. Get the full scoop and details at TUAW. Update: The Talkcast is over…
Just upgraded successfully from 1.1.1 to 1.1.3 using this tutorial. Modified steps I used: sync to backup your stuff download and restore to 1.1.3 using the Option Restore method in the tutorial after about 10 minutes or so, you are at iTunes saying your SIM isn’t valid. Tutorial says to start the command line steps,…
I’ve been looking for a better way to use my HDTV lately. The Xbox360 (and XBox 1 running XBMC) I currently have works fine but the biggest issue I have with it, when watching any kind of media is how loud it is. Specifically the fan(s) inside it and the (now obsolete) HDDVD drive. It’s…
One of the cool side benefits of going to the Interactive portion of SXSW is that you get exposed to the Film and Music festivals. Unless you purchase a gold passport, your Interactive badge won’t get you into those events, panels and parties…well, maybe the parties but they have armed guards preventing the film geeks…
It’s not for the faint of heart, but there is now a method to take a new, 1.1.3 out of the box iPhone (including the new 16gb models) and unlock it via software.

My SuperDrive finally arrived….three days behind the MBA and of course it was delivered just as I was boarding a flight to Victoria for a conference. As you can see from the photos, it’s really small and thin but what you can’t see is that it’s actually about as tall as the MacBook Air. It’s…
Today, I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Lawrence Lessig give the keynote for the Privacy & Security conference I’m attending in Victoria (albeit from the back of the room due to a huge coffee lineup). I’ve been aware of Dr. Lessig’s work for a long time now as he is one of the original…
As in I’ve had it for 12 hours….not a 12 hour long review….although there are a lot of pictures. Obviously I haven’t had it long enough to really put it through it’s paces but here’s a bunch of photos and a few thoughts. As with all Apple products, the packaging alone is a fantastic customer…
