Apple iPad Now On Apple.com

by admin on January 27, 2010

Although there has been many speculation and rumors on if the iPad was even going to exist, look like, or even be called it has, today, just been officially announced. Apple has just put their latest product, the iPad on their website today. Although you can not purchase the product yet they do show you a great pricing structure, design, features and and tech specs about the new iPad.

As I started looking at the iPad I realized that in a way it’s just really a bigger version of the iPhone with more battery life (10 Hours), a bigger screen (9.7 – inch), and some new features. One thing I thought thT was really cool about the new iPad is it has the ability to connect to wi-fi and 3G networks. So this means if you are on the go you can easily stay connected to the internet to check your email or surf the web even if you are not near a wi-fi area.

PS3 Media Server

by admin on January 1, 2010

Looking for a free way to serve media to your PS3 such as Movies? At my house I have a Windows Server setup and a couple TB hard drives full of software, music, movies and other types of documents. It was great for sharring them between computers but I really didn’t have a way to view them on the PS3. I looked all around for solutions and found this free piece of software that runs on Windows, Linux and MAC OS. It may not be feature packed but the best thing about PS3 Media Server is its free!

PS3 Media Server is a DLNA compliant Upnp Media Server for the PS3, written in Java, with the purpose of streaming or transcoding any kind of media files, with minimum configuration. It’s backed up with the powerful Mplayer/FFmpeg packages.

Appsaurus: A Smarter Recommendation Tool Than App Store Genius

December 30, 2009

Let’s face it: The iPhone’s “Genius” recommendation tool for finding apps is mediocre at best. Fortunately a startup cooked up something better. It’s called Appsaurus.
You “train” Appsaurus into understanding you better by tapping apps on a list that you like; you swipe to remove those you dislike. Every time you tap an app you might [...]
