Similar to the 802.11n spec, Wireless USB (UWB, Ultra-Wideband) has been in talks for a very long time. Belkin has created one of the first wireless USB hubs, your typical four port contraption, set to be out this spring. The difference is that this hub is powered by Ultra-Wideband wireless technology allowing the user to plugin a USB dongle into a remote computer and access all of the devices attached to the hub.

I know I have been talking about the new Intel Macs a lot recently, but it seems as though someone over at Neosmart.net has compiled a set of instructions that might work for dual-booting XP on an Intel Mac. The instructions haven’t been tested as the author does not have access to an Intel Mac but they look very promising. To bypass the BIOS limitation, [click to continue…]

I had seen Gigabyte’s i-RAM when it was displayed at Computex Taiwan last year and now Gigabyte has started supplying it North American consumers. i-RAM is a PCI card that has four slots for DDR SDRAM memory sticks and can be used as a hard drive once connected to the motherboard via a SATA cable. The gain with i-RAM is incredible speed compared to any traditional hard drive or even your WD Raptor hard drive. Since it is seen as a normal Serial-ATA hard drive to your motherboard’s BIOS, you can actually RAID two or more of them. There are, however, several drawbacks. The RAM slots are tilted so they don’t interfere with nearby expansion cards and therefore the i-RAM won’t work with certain DDR sticks with heatspreaders. Also, i-RAM keeps the memory [click to continue…]

A known bug in a Microsoft driver that controls USB 2.0 functions in the Core Duo 945 GM chipset can quickly drain notebook battery power once a USB 2.0 device is connected. Tom’s Hardware uncovered this problem, which Microsoft has kept secret until they can find a fix, when reviewing several Intel Core Duo and ATi X1600 based notebooks. I am not sure if this affects the MacBook [click to continue…]

You have probably noticed the quick social bookmarks at the bottom of each post. I’ve had these around for a while now and have shown you the code to do the same in Customizing K2: Part 3.

I’ve found it very hard recently to get through two classes, at most, without wondering how many emails I have received (20-40/day is the norm) or if there are any new comments here. After looking at Blackberry and Treo solutions, I decided a PDA is the best and most cost effective. A Treo 700W would run ~$70/month! Campus is drenched in Wi-Fi so a Wi-Fi enabled PDA is the best solution. I had looked at the Windows Mobile powered ones but I won’t buy a Microsoft product so I quickly went to looking at Palms, the Apples of the PDA market. I’ve gone ahead and ordered [click to continue…]

A guy named Colin from Houston is holding a contest for someone to come up with a way to dual-boot Windows XP on an Apple MacBook Pro. Donations to the site have brought the prize money to over $4,000 so far. Colin apparently has a MacBook Pro on the way and told his boss that it would replace his IBM desktop. [click to continue…]
