By now it’s no secret that I have an affinity for tech gadgets. I was watching tv late last night as saw an ad for the Jupiter Jack. It’s a hands free gadget to allow you drive with out having to hold the phone while you drive. I also have to admit that I have a serious problem when it comes to driving and talking. I know it’s not a good idea but it seems like it’s the easiest time to get a hold of people and traffic is often bad on my way home so I tend to talk and drive a lot. I do feel guilty about it though. Which brings me back to this as seen on tv advertisement I saw last night for the Jupiter Jack. It was super cheap $19.95 and they were running a special 2 for the price of 1. I did some research and found that it seemed like it got decent reviews. I figured for the price I could try it out and give one to my sister for Christmas since she is always on the phone while she is in the car too.

My first concern was that it would work with my Iphone. The Jupiter Jack comes with 3 different adapters and one of them does work with the iphone. The other big complaint seemed to be that the unit only worked on one channel. I did some research and found that the company had heard peoples complaints and fixed the issue so the Jupiter Jack can now be used on multiple radio channels. I’ve really never been a sucker for as seen on tv products but I figured that even if it totally sucked I’d only be out twenty bucks. Of course let’s not forget that it costs to ship as well. Still for the price I think I’m going to pull the trigger on this gadget. Once I’ve tested I’ll make sure to make a follow up post and let you all know what I think of the Jupiter Jack.

Claiming to be the ultimate can be a bit presumptuous. But when you are known to be an innovator it is hard not to say that you are the ultimate.

What are the inherent differences between a Plasma screen TV and an LCD screen?

A plasma screen is based similar to a fluorescent light bulb where the image displays make up of cells. The images consist of pixels and they display images using a combination of colors.

LCD uses a completely different technology compared to the typical plasma screen. It consists of 2 layers of transparent material. One of them is polarized while the other is coated with a special polymer that binds together sets of liquid crystals and they depend on an external light source, unlike the Plasma screen, to produce sparkling images.

Basically, plasma screens are larger, have deeper colors and are more accurate in terms of color and saturation. They are also better at tracking pictures (not as prone to lag). However, they are actually more susceptible to the burn-in of static images and generate more heat in general. There are also screening altitude problems – especially when you place them at higher altitudes. Prolonged usage of plasma screens also causes them to burn out quickly.

LCD on the other hand has no burn-in problems. They are also able to run at cooler temperatures and are not as prone to altitude problems compared to Plasma screens. The images are also considerably brighter compared to plasma screens. LCD screens are has more lag problems compared to its counterpart.

At the end of the day, regardless of whether you choose a Plasma screen or an LCD screen, the best option is to see which of these screens fall within your budget because you have to factor in maintenance costs as well.

Before being able to share files or printers over a network, your Mac must have TCP/IP configured. Using the Setup Assistant when installing the OS would have already configured this for you.

TCP/IP is the protocol that runs the internet. It allows your Mac to communicate with other machines so, to complete the remainder of the network setup, check your settings in System Preferences by clicking on Network.

The Show menu will list any network connections that correspond with the way you choose to connect to your local network. This will be usually by ethernet cable or AirPort if you have an AirPort Card installed and there is an AirPort Base Station or AirPort-enabled computer in range that’s creating a network.

Click on the TCP/IP tab to verify your settings and IP address are correct. If you need to communicate with an AppleTalk printer or Mac, turn that option on to activate it. The same TCP/IP settings will get you on the internet so by launching a browser, you can verify them.

AppleTalk is another way to connect to a server. Just select the AppleTalk name from a list of enabled devices. It’s purpose was to allow multiple users to share resources, such as files and printers. The devices that supply these resources are called servers, while the devices that make use of these resources (such as a user’s Macintosh computer) are referred to as clients. Hence, AppleTalk is one of the early implementations of a distributed client/server networking system.

Rendezvous is Apples latest way of networking and sharing. It lets you create an instant network of computers and smart devices just by getting them connected to each other. The computers and devices take over from there, automatically broadcasting and discovering what services each is offering for the use of others.

Cross platform networking has never been easier than with Jaguar. All you need to do is use the connect To menu in Finder to mount shared volumes.then simply browse the Windows file structure like you would a Mac.

It’s official. Panther is the most secure OS on the planet. A study by the mi2g Intelligence Unit, a London-based security firm, reveals that the world’s safest and most secure online server Operating System (OS) is proving to be the Open Source family of BSD (Berkley Software Distribution) and the Mac OS X based on Darwin.

In it’s three year rise to fame, the Mac OS X hasn’t been recorded as ever being infected with a virus.

The main reasons for this are down to the built-in security features. Nothing can install itself: No programme, utility or even an update from Apple, without Admin privileges.

By default, each installation of OS X has almost no internet based servers turned on and almost all ports are shut down, meaning that no requests are heard by the OS.

Multiple user accounts can be configured far more securely than a Windows OS and access to each and every application can be prevented on a user by user basis.

Although the Mac OS looks and feels differently to Windows, the two OS’s offer the same benefits and features to some extent. The Finder for example, is the equivilent of Windows Explorer.

Clicking Finder will open up a window showing all your drives, connected networks and removable media. Folders and files can be viewed as lists, columns or icons.

The Finders Toolbar is where you can access shortcuts to any often used disc, folder or programme. This has changed in the release of Panther and now becomes a Sidebar, making it even quicker to access it’s contents, all just one click away, unlike Windows.

The Finders Menu is the ever present bar at the top of the screen giving instant access to the controls for working with files; the vey same as you would likely see at the top of each window on Microsoft’s offerings.

The directory structures of the two OS’s differ a bit more now since the Mac OS likes to keep all your own folders and files within your own Home directory rather than scattered all over. This makes backing up extremely quick and simple.

Utilities would be the Windows equivilent of Accessories only with a larger selection to choose from. About the only thing missing on the Mac would be Disc Defragmenter which a Mac doesn’t regard as important and Add/Remove Programs, which again, the Mac doesn’t need. To remove or uninstall a programme, just simply drag it to the Trash.

Macs do have extra and more powerful Super Utilities though, which can be dangerous to it’s wellbeing.

And, as with XPand Compatibility Mode, OS X has a similar function that enables you to run older programmes. It’s called Classic.

The latest offering from Apple is Panther. It is the safest, easiest, most reliable and most secure Operating System on the planet. Panther is jam-packed with more than 150 exciting new features; features that leave Windows XP trailing years behind.

OS X has been evolving for more than three years now and in all that time, it is claimed that OS X has never been infected with a virus. More on that in the Security section.

There’s no doubt that the Mac OS X is by far the best thing to happen to Apple computers since the introduction of the first Mac back in 1984 and not just because of it’s dynamic and innovative styling.

Steve Jobs’ re-emergence with Apple has given the users the most dramatic change yet. The most dramatic being the truly beautiful Aqua interface. Elegant, exciting and brand new, no longer the butt of jokes from the Windows world.

Underneath the covers reveals yet more changes. Gone are the extensions and control panel and in comes Unix. The power of the Unix system is one of the worlds most powerful and stable operating systems. Couple this with the new G5 PowerMac and you have raw, unleashed power.

This guide will lead you through the basic principles of the Mac OS and hopefully encourage you to ’switch’. Whether you are thinking of making the ’switch’ or are a complete ‘newbie’, you should find all the information to make the transition easy.

Lets see if OS X can live up to it’s sleek, powerful imagery. We’ll take a walk through some of the cool applications and utilities that are installed with the operating system. You will be charmed by the compelling magic, ease of use and underlying complexity of Apple’s latest offering.
