iOS 5 Beta 4: I just did a software update this morning on my iPhone 4 all via WiFi without plugging in to iTunes and it worked quite well. The update did take a while to download but once it downloaded, everything else went smoothly. At last no more plugging in your phone to iTunes to do updates.
Downloading the update went smoothly
Apple MacBook Air 2011 Review:
Today I will be looking at Apple's latest MacBook Air 13" which I received this morning..
The 2011 version of the MacBook Air 13 inch notebook is similar in its outlook to the 2010 model but most of the changes are in the inside, mainly a much quicker Intel Sandy Bridge processor. Apple have also included a Thunderbolt port as well as a nice backlit keyboard. I also have a 2010 version of this MacBook Air and will be doing some comparisons. So lets get into this brief review.
Bowers and Wilkins (B&W) is a U.K company and has been making speakers since the 60's. Today we are reviewing the Bowers & Wilkins MM1 Desktop Computer speaker. Let's find out if these speakers are any good.
The HP TouchPad is yet another new tablet to the market and I got this a few days ago. It is an interesting device. Let's see how this tablet fares.
Yesterday I had an opportunity to ride on the MAGLEV in Shanghai which is a high speed train that levitates on magnets and can go over 400 km/hr. Below you will find a video on how fast this thing really goes.
What is Maglev? From Wikipedia: Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation), is a system of transportation that suspends, guides and propels vehicles, predominantly trains, using magnetic levitation from a very large number of magnets for lift and propulsion. This method has the potential to be faster, quieter and smoother than wheeled mass transit systems. The power needed for levitation is usually not a particularly large percentage of the overall consumption; most of the power used is needed to overcome air drag, as with any other high speed train.
