My Thoughts on Synergy
Synergy is a great tool if you have/use more than one computer. It allows you to use your keyboard and mouse on one computer, on many other computers.
One set of keyboard and mouse across a unlimited amount of computers!
It is especially good, if you don't have dual monitors, but you can create that sort of setup with two computers. However, in away it is better to use Synergy than dual monitor, because you can be sharing the computing power across two computers. You can even copy and paste text between computers. Its cross platform, so you can use the tool between Windows, Mac and Linux computers.
Its a great tool if you need to use of different computers at the same time,I found it very useful for IRC client on my eee pc and my general work on my desktop. You can download it here for FREE!
My Thoughts on Apple Jan 2010 Event
It was a big day for the tech industry, Apple Event! As expected, the Apple tablet was confirmed!
Called the iPad, it is just an oversized iPod/iPhone! 10 inch screen, WiFi N, iPhone OS, 3G (on some models). It is a nice thin looking design, with 10 hours of battery life. However, I am not that impressed with a larger iPod Touch, cause thats all it is. It does have nice exclusive apps, such as iBooks (Apple's eReader/Book Store), iWorks for iPad (which is very nice and slick, $9.99 per iWork app). All the apps work with the iPad, and can be up-scaled to the screen size. It has some accessories as well, one which stood out for me, was the keyboard dock. It could be a cheap desktop???
Its a nice new product, but I do not see the point of it. Its too big to carry around, and if you want a excellent Internet device on-the-go, you buy a iPod Touch/iPhone. Jobs seemed to sell it as a home device, but why would you spend at least $499 on a iPad to use at home, when you could just use your computer. I see no point to it, I wont be buying one, I believe it will be a flop!
The pricing, it not as expensive as I thought but still pricey!
- 16GB - $499
- 32GB - $599
- 64GB - $699
- 16GB 3G - $629
- 32GB 3G - $729
- 64GB 3G - $829
You can also buy a prepay plan (not a contract), its with AT&T. $14.99 for 250mb per month OR $29.99 for unlimited. What is surprising is that it is unlocked!
That was it, 90mins about the iPad! No new iPod/iPhone, no iPhone OS 4, no new Mac Updates, Not even iLife/iWorks 2010 (I was expecting that!)
