Almost had a heart attack. I was in the other room and she screamed that she spilled water on it. I ran over, grabbed it, flipped it upside down, turned it off, used an air compressor and paper towels to get whatever water out. Let it off an open overnight and everything appears fine.

She can go back to using her 5 yr old hp brick of a laptop. My MBA is off limits.
And 2 months ago she broke her ipod (gift from me) running on a treadmill.

Some people aren't meant for gadgets.

Perhaps the biggest criticism of the iPhone is that its lack of tactile feedback renders it useless to the blind. It's simply impossible to feel your way around a flat, featureless screen...

...Or at least it used to be. Because product designer Bruno Fosi has developed a new silicon case that puts the visually impaired back in touch with the device.

Fosi's "invisual" iPhone case is engraved with a set of modified bas-relief (i.e. tactile) buttons, each one corresponding to a different function on the iPhone's touchscreen user interface. In order to ensure that different screens/applications don't interfere with these mappings, the user simply installs a special app that reconfigures the layout of each of the iPhone's core features (phone, email, text messaging, calculator etc.) so as to maintain consistency. This app also enables a number of special accessibility functions like text-to-speech and moon type tactile feedback.

Yanko Design has branded the invisual case "BRILLIANT!", and we're inclined to agree...however, we can't help wondering whether blind users will actually adopt this product in real-life. If you were blind, wouldn't you prefer a mobile device with a "proper" tactile keyboard? Perhaps some of our visually impaired users can enlighten us in the comments section...

I am basically trying to change the lock/unlock click and the keyboard click.
I tried going into uikit, springboard.app and changed the sounds in there but nothing happened. Any one know how to change these on ipod touch 2.2? Thank you

hey guys I need some suggestions.. I have a white macbook its the SantaRosa Chip 2.2Ghz, 120gb HD and 4 gigs of memory.. Now there is someone that has a 20" iMac 2.0 Ghz, 250gb HD and 2 gigs of memory and wireless keyboard and mouse, that would like to trade it for my macbook. So my question is.. would I see a big difference of performance going from 2.2 to 2.0? do you guys think its a nice deal doing a even trade? The only reason why i wanna trade is because i would love the bigger screen and i normally dont take the macbook outside like I tought would... Thanks for the advice in advanced

Freevo is an open-source home theatre PC platform based on Linux and a number of open-source audio/video tools. Freevo can be used both for a standalone PVR computer with a TV+remote, as well as on a regular desktop computer using the monitor and keyboard.

ASUS's big announcement today? Yet another version of its popular Eee PC. The latest version of the netbook features a brushed aluminum body and a "Super Hybrid Engine" that lets users lower and overclock the CPU speed. A button located above the keyboard lets users cycle through various performance states.

Windows Automation Macro Recorder (WAMR), normally $30, has a nicely clean interface that focuses on two main buttons, Record and Execute, and it records specifically timed mouse and keyboard movements and actions by default. You can choose what WAMR does and doesn't notice in the options, rename your created macros, and schedule them inside the application for running whenever you'd like. For those without the programming chops or interest for AutoHotKey, or seeking a simple automation tool, WAMR could easily fit the bill. WAMR is for Windows systems only; the Giveaway method requires downloading, installing, and activating this software before the expiration date (17 hours from now in this case).
