AirPort Time Capsule

The new Airport Time Capsule is one sweet piece of hardware that can replace lots of hardware and cables with one slick tall white box.

In a nutshell it is 3 things in one:

  • Superfast 1300 Mbps WiFi (802.11ac) base station
  • 2-3TB of Time Capsule backup hard disk

Panoramic backgrounds in iOS7

iOS7's is visually organazed into layers. The background moves slightly by default to give you the feeling that the icons are floating above it. But if you select any panoramic image as a background you can achieve an even more impressive effect. As you move your phone around the panorama slides behind the icons. Watch the video explaining how to switch it on.

How wrong the pundits were about the iPad

Funny to read how wrong tech professionals were about the iPad. They didn't get right practically anything, not the sales, not the capabilities or its effect. Next time you read an opinion from a 'pundit' remember how poor their evaluation can be.

“Any tablet computer, including Apple’s eagerly anticipated iPad, will face serious problems in generating big sales. Tablets look cool, but the reality is they don’t do anything new.”
Michael Comeau, Minyanville, 5 March 2010

Automatic app makes you a smarter driver

Really cool App that integrates your iPhone with your car's onboard computer. Just plug the Automatic Link into your car's data port. Your car and smartphone will automatically connect whenever you drive wirelessly and teach you how to drive more efficiently. It helps you save on gas, checks your engine and tells you what to do when something goes wrong. It also helps you find where you parked and even alerts 911 and your loved ones if you have an accident. Watch the video. Currently iOS only, but Android version should come in 6 month or so.
