Random Rants

I took delivery of a brand new Herman Miller Caper XR.  So, what do I think of it so far?  Well, one thing’s certain: it forces me sit properly; no slouching or it hurts my back because unlike the seat which is made of mesh material, the back is hard plastic that contours to the sitter’s back.  It will take a bit of getting used to.

New Facebook virus…YAY!  This, my dear 3 readers, is one of the many reasons why I’m NEVER going to have a Facebook account.  EVER.

My new iPad is still awesome.  iPhone OS 4 out this summer!  It’s a bit a of letdown not to support multitasking in 3G…the rest of the new features are good enough to want a new iPhone…(yeah, right)

Still struggling with Hackint0sh, Bluetooth, and the new Magic Mouse.  The Targus BT + MM wakes from forced sleep but NOT from idle sleep.  In fact, sometimes you lose BT unless you remove then reattach the dongle; sometimes the machine won’t wake up at all, forcing you to reboot.  ANNOYING…but not enough to give up Magic Mouse where I got accustomed to already.  I’ve been following this thread and one poster (deviantosx) suggests to DISABLE wake from Bluetooth and just wake up by pressing the Power button if you’re using the Bluetooth keyboard…or if you’re still using a USB keyboard, you can still wake up by pressing a key.  Kind of half-baked for now…but at least Bluetooth doesn’t die…yet.
