Apple's Awesome Year In 60 Seconds

Apple's Awesome Year In 60 Seconds
This summary of Apple in 2009 is educational, to better understand why Apple is so effective.
The 27" iMac is called the Product of the Year here, with good reason.
The site says in part "We snapped up a quad-core model a few weeks ago. In addition to being the fastest computer we've ever used, with a ridiculously awesome display, it makes a cool bedroom TV at night (for falling asleep to Hulu and Boxee shows)."

FCC wants more competition with set-top boxes - Yahoo! News
Hopefully it's just a matter of some short time until Cable/TV set-top box makers all add Internet access - at which time broadcast programming's coffin nails will be hammered into the wood. The new generation rightfully does not understand why in the world anyone would watch content based on someone else's broadcasting schedule. Without competition, as this article points out, progress will be slower.

Miami Herald asks online readers for donations - Technology - MiamiHerald.com

Miami Herald asks online readers for donations - Technology - MiamiHerald.com
This would be funny if it were not so sad.
Print Publications are losing advertising and readership - their move to online has no business model other than advertising (unless you are the Wall Street Journal). Now, the plea is "won't you please make a 'donation'." Sure, to a corporation, which was probably financed in a leveraged buyout through some hedge funds and Sovereign wealth funds that were made whole in the recent bailout - get real. The newspaper business has only itself to blame for their inability to predict trends and stay current. This donation model is pure desperation. The new generation has no use for papers, broadcast TV, or any of the prior-generation cash-cow media products - are these mega-media CEOs just now realizing this?
Investors, place your bets on Apple, Google, and Amazon, not these old ink and reality-show jockeys.

UK announces one-time tax on bankers' bonuses - Forbes.com

UK announces one-time tax on bankers' bonuses - Forbes.com: "banks who still believe their priority is to pay substantial bonus"
Why not follow England's lead and impose a one-time 50% tax on big obscene bankers' bonuses?

Top 3 iPhone Wireless Printing Applications | CreativeCloud
I've been looking for a way to print screens from the iPhone (which Apple did not facilitate). The three options in this article pretty much summarize the available reasonable solutions. AirPhoto $2.99 looks good; the HP iPrint Photo App requires specific HP models to work (not mine); EuroSmartz has a suite of apps (~$5-$13) that seem to do it also.

PrinterShare® - Print anytime, anywhere! FREE software!
You say you want to print a letter or a photo to your Mom's PC, on the other side of the country, but you don't want to have to e-mail it to her (oh, and she doesn't even use e-mail!), and besides, she might not even have the application installed to open it? This free ad-based solution will work without you "digging" a Virtual private Network (VPN) and scoring a static IP from your ISPs, or diddling with freeDNS servers... if your relative or friend has a PC and a printer installed, this free solution will enable you to print remotely... gee, I guess "sleep" ought to be disabled on the receiving machine? Good use for a netbook low-power PC.

Map Any Key to Any Key on Windows 7 / XP / Vista :: the How-To Geek

Map Any Key to Any Key on Windows 7 / XP / Vista :: the How-To Geek: "Map Any Key to Any Key on Windows 7 / XP / Vista

If you are tired of the way certain keys on your system work, such as the Caps Lock key, you can re-map them to function as a different key by using a registry hack. But there should be an easier way, right?

This is where SharpKeys comes into the picture: It’s a small utility that will let you easily map one key to another key easily, or even turn the key off, without having to enter the registry at all.

For instance, I used the key mapping to just turn off my Caps Lock key, since I never use it."
Mike Baird says 09 Nov 2009 this is the best solution to turn off Caps Lock which was driving me nuts (on Vista the built-in function to disable is not part of Windows anymore).

Shame on the Chamber of Commerce. The word "Evil" comes to mind.
RPT-Quitting commerce group over climate wonderful-Chu | Markets | Markets News | Reuters
So, why do we support the Chamber of Commerce with our local tax dollars.
COC might better follow Google's "Don't be evil" slogan.
In part says "U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu said he applauds companies that have quit the U.S. Chamber of Commerce over disagreement with the business group's climate change policy. "I think it's wonderful," Chu told reporters at a solar energy event on the National Mall. He said other companies should quit the group because the Chamber does not fully recognize the business possibilities in taking aggressive action on climate. "I would encourage the Chamber of Commerce to realize the economic opportunity that the United States can lead in a new industrial revolution," said Chu, a steadfast supporter of alternative fuels and strong regulation of greenhouse gases. "... Apple Inc (AAPL.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) resigned from the chamber while last month three big power utilities, Exelon Corp (EXC.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), PG&E Corp (PCG.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) and PNM Resources Inc, said they were leaving the chamber."

Recommendation for the Canon PowerShot S90IS.

For those looking for a very small but capable point-and-shoot which captures images in RAW, the only previous obvious choices were the Nikon P6000 or the Canon G10 and now the G11 cameras. Canon has come out with a smaller version of the G-series, the " Canon PowerShot S90IS 10MP Digital Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3-inch LCD" $430 pre-order at Amazon at http://bit.ly/5CyCk . This does not have an external flash, but otherwise has everything I'd look for with the exception of Nikon's built-in GPS. " Canon’s storied S Series gets a revitalized new leader in the slimmer, lighter, new PowerShot S90, the perfect everyday camera for people who are serious about great photography. Image quality is superb thanks to the new High Sensitivity System and higher ISO speeds, plus an exceptionally bright f/2.0 lens that makes portraits and low-light shots come to life. Photography enthusiasts will love the new control ring at the base of the lens barrel, designed for intuitive, pro-style manual control." Product Dimensions: 3.9 x 2.3 x 1.2-1.9 inches (100 x 58 x 31 mm) ; 6.2 ounces. Review at dpreview Announced 19 Aug 2009 " Next comes the PowerShot S90 digital compact, resurrecting Canon's S-series of compact 'photographers' cameras. It features a 28-105mm F2.0-4.9 stabilized lens with a control ring built around it that enables control of camera settings such as exposure compensation. It also offers a 3 inch LCD with 461k dot resolution in a slim, compact body. Like the G11, it includes the high sensitivity 10MP sensor and Digic 4 noise reduction to make up a 'Dual Anti-Noise System.' In keeping with the photographers' camera brief, the S90 includes manual control and RAW shooting."

"A Working Mom" documentary - view free - Bolivia related - highly recommended

A moving and educational documentary - a story of proud people who struggle. La Lucha personified. No acting here - the tears are real, the emotions felt. A refreshing view into the real world.
