blue lounge spacestation

An extended desk organizer for laptop users with internal coiling pins conceals all the cords that usually sprawl over the desk. Hovering just 5mm above the desk, cords are free to enter or exit the hub at any point – on the side to connect a scanner, the front for an iPod, the back for a laptop or camera. An internal 4-port USB hub will keep all peripherals connected. One USB plug exits the station right where needed to connect a laptop. Just tip the front of the SpaceStation up to access the hub and cords.

CreativeTechs Tip: Play almost any video file on your Mac.

If you are not yet a subscriber to Creative Tech's Tips then I would highly recommend to sign up asap. Here's one of their latest tips:

There are two essential (and free) utilities that will solve a host of video incompatibility problems with Apple's QuickTime utility. They are free to download, and easy to install. CreativeTech recommends installing these on most Mac creative workstations.

Perian — Billed as the Swiss-Army knife for QuickTime. This open source plug-in for QuickTime includes a wide number of video codec files that enables your Mac to play most cross-platform video formats.

Filp4Mac WMV — Provides support for Microsoft's Windows Media files (WMV) — one of the few video formats Perian doesn't support. The free version allows you to play most WMV files. You can pay to unlock additional options for exporting and converting WMV files into other formats.

iSkin Laptop Keyboard Protector

My laptop is like a big giant magnet for our little Ella and all she wants do is touch the keys and screen. Realizing I need to protect it against everyday hazards caused by spills, dirt, crumbs and other unwanted elements, I researched what's out there and found the iSkin Laptop Keyboard Protector. I first thought it would be cumbersome to write when the iSkin is in my place but that's not the case at all. It's washable and easily removed. And I am a tad bit more relaxed when our little munchkin approaches. Available at Amazon.

How the iPhone Blew Up the Wireless Industry

It was a late morning in the fall of 2006. Almost a year earlier, Steve Jobs had tasked about 200 of Apple's top engineers with creating the iPhone. Yet here, in Apple's boardroom, it was clear that the prototype was still a disaster. It wasn't just buggy, it flat-out didn't work. The phone dropped calls constantly, the battery stopped charging before it was full, data and applications routinely became corrupted and unusable. The list of problems seemed endless. At the end of the demo, Jobs fixed the dozen or so people in the room with a level stare and said, "We don't have a product yet."

Use Mouseposé for presentations of complex interfaces!

If you give Macintosh training presentations, demos or design presentations of complex interfaces, give Mouseposé ($14.95) a try. Your audience will appreciate it. With Mouseposé installed, press your defined hotkey, and it dims the screen and puts a spotlight around your mouse pointer, easily guiding the audience’s attention to an area of interest. Very useful when you are trying to point out a small-but-important detail on a large projection screen. BRILLIANT!!
