It is sometimes fun to try to guess what Apple will announce before they announce it. Just for fun, I will try to guess what Apple will announce today… Today I think Apple will announce two new iPhones, a completely redesigned iPod, and a new AppleTV. The new iPod be so small as to be […]
I keep forgetting how to recover my preferences on my iPod classic after I rarely have to reset it, so I decided to capture them here in hopes it helps me (and others) recover after a reset. By the way, a reset is to toggle the hold slider on and then off, then press and […]
I am recently having a little fun playing with Vudu and Flixster interfaces into UltraViolet.

I noticed a pretty nifty feature of the Airport Utility app on my iOS 5.0.1 based iPad. When I have multiple Apple branded Airport devices wired to the same network, they appear side by side on the Airport Utility’s topology map: When I have one Airport device daisy chained off another, both setting up private […]
