MojoPac Review: A Portable PC

No Comment - Post a comment

Don't have a laptop but still want the option to carry around multiple applications and Operating Systems? That's where MojoPac comes in. It's a free application that you can download onto your PC and then onto a USB, iPod, or mp3 player. It's a remarkable application as you can then put applications such as Word, MSN, Firefox, and Photoshop and then move them along where you go and insert it into a new computer or laptop and launch those applications on the new computer. Not only can you put applications, but you can put Operating Systems such as XP, Mac, or Linux plus you can put games such as Halo 2 and still run it on a new computer at the same performance. The drawback though is Vista is not available for transfering or being a host PC which limits my possibility for transfering but RingCube Technologies, the maker of MojoPac, is working on producing a Vista MojoPac.

I recommend this for families who live close together and do visit each other often because you'd be able to execute files and open files on there PC that wouldn't normally be openable because bringing over a laptop was just to much trouble. The reason it is freeware is because the company charges for the business version and they will be collecting information in the future on your use of their application. Without a doubt, this application is worth downloading. Go to MojoPac to download it and transfer away. Note: There are versions that cost money but for individuals there is a free version.

 

Kung Fu & Moto Razr2?

No Comment - Post a comment

I've never associated a phone with kung fu before but Motorola always like to break the ice starting with the thinnest and best selling phone. Now they break onto the ad scene with an amazing commerical designed by a Chinese animator. Just a tidbit on Motorola: it was started by a man who's first and second company went bankrupt. When thinking of a third company to start and name, he was shaving. Enjoy!

 

Leopard is Wrapped Up

No Comment - Post a comment

Apple's long awaited new OS for its Mac computers and laptops has been finally completed and is being readied for shipment by the end of this month. There are conflicing reports on the issue though with AppleInsider saying its true and MacRumours denying but most bloggers including me are betting on the last Friday of October, October 26, to be the release date of Leopard. The reason for releasing Leopard on the last Friday of the month is because if you look at when they rolled out the iPhone and the previous OS, Tiger, they both came out on the last Friday of there respected month, June 2007, and April 2005. Supposedly, Apple is readying its technical staff and briefing them on there new OS just before they release it. Obviously Apple is keeping its mouth shut on the issue and doesn't look to drop hints any time soon. You can pre-purchase Leopard at Amazon at a list price of $129 and take note that Amazon pegs the release date as October 31.

Apple Skins

GelaSkins has also released new iPod covers available for the iPod touch, classic, and 3rd-gen Nanos. I inform you of this because when I saw these covers, they were absolutely amazing, it'd make me buy the iPod right there and then. It still amazes me to look at them today. The beautiful part about it is not only the full colour artwork, but the use of materials. The company uses a cover from 3M which stick to the iPod using an adhesive that doesn't leave a residue when removed. They are also clear and scratch proof and come with a clear display protecter except for the iPod Touch. To view the beautiful covers costing $14.95USD each go to GelaSkins.

 

2 New Ways to Accessorize Your iPod

No Comment - Post a comment

The iPod supports a billion dollar industry on just iPod accessories but I do wish they'd make those accessories compatible with other mp3s. These next two accessories are pretty cool and let you stay up to date with other changing technologies. First is the Hercules i-XPS 120 Outdoor Speakers that are dust and water resistant and second, iPod cables that will work with Microsofts new Sync system that are available on all new Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles in 2008.

The Hercules i-XPS 120 is a compact speaker that has been officially certified as resistant to water spray and dust particles. It does this by housing the iPod in a watertight chamber and magnetically shielded speakers with protective grilles, plus a dust evacuation system and a shock resistant rubber frame. This company should've planned for New Orleans before the Hurricane hit if you ask me.
On top of this the speaker centre has the usual power, next/previous track and play/pause buttons with an added 3d effect which does a good job. It needs alot of juice though to power this badboy with capacity for 4 C-sized batteries but luckily it can run on an electrical outlet or a vehicle cigarette lighter. Cigarette adapter included. Cigarettes not included.
Dock connector-equiped iPods are also supported as well as the iPod shuffle which has a line in connector. It was just updated though and is able to support mp3s with a line in connector.
The second iPod accessory works with Microsofts new Sync Media Center that will be available and soon to be standard on all 2008 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. Once plugged in, you will be able to control the iPod on the media centers controls. Another benefit is, the iPod charges as you listen to your favourite tunes in your brand new car.
The cable works with the iPod classic, iPod nano, iPod touch, iPod mini, and fourth- and fifth-generation iPods.

No Comment - Post a comment

As you may already know, Wired @ Home is going through some growing pains and we need to expand and reach even more audiences. My first task is to change the URL and I am having a tough time choosing as wiredathome.com is not available. Here are two possibilities and I would love if you could give me some suggestions either by commenting, emailing me(look at description on ChipIn), or contact me through the Contact Form below. My second task is to change the template and if any of you do have some suggestions I will gladly take it. The template will not be immediately be changed as I do love this one but there seems to be some code mistakes and if that can be fixed then that would be preferable(Any html whiz, contact me). Other suggestions on how to improve the website can also be sent to me.

If you look to the left there is a widget titled Wired @ Home Expansion. Due to my recent involvement into the rapidly expanding website, Bebop Talk, I have made a decision to try and expand my blog internationally. I have as well decided to do this for Moneyx4. To get my blog recognized, I need to gain new readers which means advertising, and to keep them here I need to change my template and relocate my blog to an easier to type URL, preferably http://www.wiredathome.com/ but.org, or .net is a possibility. I don't have this kind of money and so to fully implement it, I need the help of my dedicated readers or new ones for that matter. Any donation is helpful and I really do appreciate your help. If you do have any questions or concerns, do you use the contact form or you can directly email me at the email address provided in the ChipIn widget. ChipIn is a great way to get donations and they have about 10 different colours you can choose from. I found it fun, quick, and easy to enter the information and post it on my blog.
