Filed under: iPhone , Music Earlier we were hearing that Apple might get involved in location-based ad-hoc social networking , and now it looks like Plastikman might beat them to the punch. That’s the DJ, not the superhero — he’s released an iPhone app that’s designed to be used at his concerts this summer, giving you some personal involvement on your iPhone while the music and video of the show goes on around you. It’s a free download , and while at a concert on a free Wi-Fi network, the app will receive real-time information about the music and video during...
Filed under: Humor , Found Footage , iPhone Self-respecting science fiction fans will remember the Daleks . They’re the mutant alien villains from the Doctor Who television series with armored casing, warbling voices and a penchant for extermination . Steve at BotBuilder is a fellow fan who combined his love of sci-fi and bots into the iPhone-controlled Dalek you see above. In what he calls ” a cool and ultimately pointless experiment,” Steve uses the iPhone to send messages to the board in the Dalek over Wi-Fi which, in turn, operate servos and lights up LEDs

We wrote repeatedly about Apple’s odd and often unfair application approval process. Instead of fixing it , Apple is just getting weirder and weirder about what apps are allowed in the store. The latest example is the sudden disappearance of several Wi-Fi stumbler applications from the app store.

Filed under: Rumors , iPad If you’re ready to buy that Wi-Fi iPad, then get your credit card out of your wallet and start practicing your fastest clicking and typing techniques.

Filed under: Software , iMac , Reviews , MacBook Apple’s laptops and iMacs are attractive targets for thieves, since they’re easy to move and have a good resale value. We’ve seen several Mac applications or services that work to help you retrieve your favorite Apple product if it is ever stolen; LoJack for Laptops (US$39.95 per year), Undercover ($49.00 per year), and MacTrak ($24.95 per year) are all perfect examples of these programs. Most of these apps have two things in common; they will attempt to locate the whereabouts of the computer and also send a picture of the thief...
Filed under: Accessories , Hardware Last month, we highly recommended the BearExtender n3 [US $44.97] as a great way to extend a Wi-Fi network to reach those pesky dead spots. In my testing, I found that it’s possible to get around three times as much range as from an Airport device. Now the nice people at Rokland Technologies have given us five units to give to you. If you’re having weak signal problems, you want one of these. I bought the unit they sent me to review and have been overjoyed and amazed at it performing exactly as advertised. The details of the giveaway are as follows:...
Filed under: Hardware , Internet , Internet Tools Soon the iPad will be upon us, and the US government is worried about the congestion it will cause. Phil Bellaria is a staffer in the Obama administration. Specifically, he’s the director of scenario planning for the federal government’s Omnibus Broadband Initiative. He published a blog post earlier this week describing his initial concerns about the future demands on our networks. “With the iPad pointing to even greater demand for mobile broadband on the horizon, we must ensure that network congestion doesn’t choke off...
Filed under: iPhone , App Store , iPod touch As most of you know already, Apple has lifted the restrictions against making VoIP calls over a 3G connection, and a handful of apps have already “flipped a switch” behind the scenes to enable such calls. However, the most high-profile VoIP app on the App Store , Skype, has yet to follow suit . Skype has posted an update on their blog regarding their progress on enabling VoIP over 3G.

Filed under: Hardware , Peripherals , Airport , Reviews It’s not often that I’ve come across a product that works perfectly, does exactly what it says it will, costs a lot less than its closest competitor and provides a real and salient difference in my computing experience. The US$44.97 BearExtender n3 does just that. Roland Saekow, a recent graduate of the University of California, Berkeley , realized that the ‘Airbears’ campus network wasn’t complete enough to allow students to connect from all parts of the large campus, so he developed an external Wi-Fi receiver...
