Technology for the masses
After all the talk about the new Xbox 360 features coming in the spring update I decided to have another look into it myself. Heres a video I came across, I know it is a little rushed!
I’m looking forward to seeing the Messenger ability on it!
I’m sure that there are not too many of you that have missed the media coverage of the Dell battery recall in the last week or so, whether it be in the paper, on the news or the internet.
Apple are following in there footsteps (the other way around for once), by recalling 1.8 Million Laptop batteries which were manufactured by the Sony corporation. 700,000 of these batteries have been sold outside the U.S….. Thats a hell of a lot of batteries!
These Batteries were sold between October of 2003 and August this year and were used in the 12inch ibook and Powerbook G4 aswel as the 15inch Powerbook G4. Two users have reported burns and/or property damage already.
You can find more info about the recall on Apples battery recall page here.
After a morning of relaxing and lazing around, I was checkin out a few Apple User sites and I remembered that two finger scrolling feature that was introduced on some of the later powerbooks. I googled it anyway and I found a hack to modify the trackpadon the G4 iBook and some older powerbooks so you can use two finger scrolling, have to say it works well and its handy if your on the net reading long pages of text or working in Appleworks etc. If you have a G4 iBook or a Powerbook without this function then this is definately worth trying out…
Anyway you can find the hack here!
