  • Three years ago, Apple filed a patent for a display with an integrated dock for a portable computing device. It would be interesting to see a small tablet that could be docked within a larger display that supported additional storage, bluetooth for …
  • Caution. Do not look directly at laser with remaining eye.

  • In XP, the key command for Print Screen is Alt-Print Screen (two-key combination). Pressing the Print Screen key alone in XP often does nothing. Try using Print Screen with one of the modifier keys (Option/Alt, Control, Cmd) and perhaps one of those…

  • You're thinking of the "Knowledge Navigator" video from 1987. Well worth watching as it predicts the Web, handheld communication devices, and sophisticated speech recognition. You can watch or download it here.
  • If price isn't a major concern, check out WaterField Designs. They have quite a variety of bags that you can customize extensively, and their customer testimonials are impressive. (I don't own one of their bags.)

  • Meh. This guy's OK, but others are *much* better. For example, from 10 feet away (live), I've seen Teller (of Penn & Teller) swallow about 20 individual sewing needles, followed by a ball of dental floss, followed by an entire apple. Then he has…

  • Consumer routers have been cost-reduced to the point of absurdity, the result being inconsistent performance and poor reliability. Before you sack your D-Link, try changing its default channel. You might be experiencing interference either from i…

  • I can access OWA via Safari over my company's VPN, so I would suggest it is a configuration problem on your company's server side. You might try invoking the debug menu on Safari and changing the browser info to identify your Mac as Windows IE to yo…
  • I liked the book, although I think there are better authors of this genre than Dan Brown, whose characters are always rather two-dimensional and whose endings seem to me to be rushed ("Whoops, we're at 700 pages. Better end this...NOW.") As an ad…
