Inside the Macbook Air ‘Remote Disc’ process
Jan 22, 2008 | Discuss 
As reported in an earlier article, the next update to Leopard will add a Sharing pane item called ‘DVD or CD Sharing’, which will facilitate booting to a remote optical disc from a Macbook Air (and possibly from other Macs).
The way the process works on the client side is by an agent that runs on the ‘main’ system called ‘ODSAgent’. ODSAgent, once enabled by the user in the Sharing pane, then adds an entry to the firewall and begins running. When the client machine (ex. Air) begins its boot process, it looks for the running agent on the …

Download YouTube video to iTunes with Tooble
Tooble is an awesome new app that will download videos from YouTube, convert them to mp4 and add it to your iTunes library, where it can then be transferred to your iPod or iPhone.
The app is free and works perfectly in my testing thus far. Perfect for those situations when you don’t have access to YouTube but need to show a video.
Their official description:
Tooble is a brand new program designed to bring the vast mine of content on YouTube straight to your iPod. …

DVD/CD Sharing, as seen on the new Macbook Air
I can’t believe I didn’t think to test this: Time Machine can also use a disk connected to your Airport Extreme as a backup location, hooray!
Yes, the Extreme is named Express. Force of habit of calling it that for years, sorry.

Jan 17, 2008 | Discuss
A couple of new products out that are worthy of note.
Speck has finally released their 17″ Macbook hard shell cases. Available in blue, red and clear, they run around $40. They look great and don’t hinder operation at all.

New iTunes/iPhone combo restore manual management of music
Many of us were very disappointed when we learned we couldn’t manage or play music music directly from our iPhones.
But it appears that the combination of iTunes 7.6 and iPhone 1.1.3 have brought back those MUCH missed features. You can now drag and drop to your iPhone and listen to the music stored there, without issue.
[EDIT]Looks like it is the iTunes update alone that frees the music, so if you’re happy with 1.1.2 (or .1 even), stick with it and upgrade iTunes to 7.6. I kinda wish I had…I miss iSlots.

The oh-so disappointing Macbook Air
I really, really, really wanted a Mac the size of my Asus EEE, even if it cost a little more and lacked a feature or two.
But Apple has gone and broken my Tuscaloosa heart again. Instead of a tiny, more portable Mac with innovative features (WAN internet, etc.), we get a super thin Macbook with a 13″ screen that is lacking several things while adding very little.
My gripes:
The price. Holy shit, seriously? $1799 for the ‘base’ model and a whopping $3089 for the model with a 64gb SSD drive? Sorry, but that premium just isn’t worth the cost …
