Ever since I took down the Windows Home Server and converted it as a Linux file server, I have been having some trouble connecting my wife’s Windows 7 laptop to the Samba file shares. And recently her hard drive is getting full and we need a quick way to backup her work. So I decided to pick up a Western Digital My Book Essential while it was on sale. Continue reading
As mentioned before how much I am looking forward to the new Mac mini, so here it is. Got my hands on a Mac mini earlier and I have been extremely happy with it. It is so simple, yet so easy to use. I am consolidating my anime storage and anime download into this energy efficient aluminum enclosure of goodness.
I have had the Logitech MX Revolution Mouse for a few years and I really enjoy using it. It is different from the Apple Magic Mouse that it has more buttons to compensate for the lack of gesture. It is a great mouse and it is rechargeable. But that is where the problem is for this mouse. When the battery stops charging, what would you do?
Apple today revealed the latest Mac mini with HDMI output. I have been waiting for this for a while and now the wait is over! It is sort of a quiet announcement. There is a small mentioning here. Maybe because it is the same day that you can start ordering the iPhone 4, this new product is a bit overshadowed by all other iPhone 4 pre-order craze news.
I am sure by now the iPhone 4 news is all over the net and you can read about it just about anywhere including here and here and here. But what is amazing of the news isn’t just about another marketing hype that Apple managed to build up like it does over and over. Personally, what I find amazing is Apple keeps finding ways to impress its audiences, be it a tech geek, a gadget lover, an industry analyst, or a share holder. I really like Apple products because I think they put a lot of thought into their products, and I think as a company, they execute their business really well.

Have to agree with a lot of iPad owners, reading on the iPad is a great experience. Been using it to read some of my favorite magazines (マガジン). The screen is very easy to read. I thought it would be a lot harder to read than the Kindle which has the e-ink technology, but it is not as bad as I thought. The reflection sometimes bugs me especially reading with a light behind me. But I was able to adjust and get the best contrast from the screen.
Finally got my hands on an iPad Case, a must have accessory for the iPad. There are many different products out there with different styles but I like this one the best.
