Apple of my wi-fi

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

I once wrote about RFID tags and what they are all about. Now I have just found out that Apple is going to be using the tags to make wireless networking a lot easier for people to access. It seems that they are ready to put the tags into computers so that they are able to access the hub for the wireless connection without incident. This means you don’t have to do any hard coding or configuration on your part. Nice. Plug n play wireless!!

Bottom-loading optical drives patent from Apple

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

I was just reading about an interesting piece of gadgetry that will increase the compact design of laptops. The bottom-loading cd drive. It would load from under the computer with a pull off lid. You would then just insert your disk, replace the lid, and presto! You have access to your cd. It’s a good idea considering that many people still want more than one drive on their laptop. I, for one, enjoy having a 3 1/2 inch floppy, a cd reader, and a burner. I am sure that others wish the same *or close to it*. Great idea Apple

Friday, October 13th, 2006

Apple has released a new red Ipod in support of the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. Apparently Bono, the famous singer, has been on board withApples for AIDS compliments joinred.com this venture since long before the actual release. Oprah has recently endorsed the campaign as well.Ten dollars from every Ipod sold will go to the Fund.

There are even more products to be found in red on the website for the Global Fund. Products from GAP, Converse, Armani, and Motorola are also donning the official color for the cause.

My idea?

Take the full purchase price and send it directly to the fund.
