My WiFi: Personal Area Connection

We live in an age where everybody wants everything wireless, and fast. Where there’s a demand, there’s a creation to accommodate that demand. Introducing: My Wifi technology.

My Wifi, in a nutshell, uses the built in wireless capability of your laptop, paired with Intel’s Centrino 2 technology, and creates a Personal Area Connection (PAN). Once this PAN has been created, you can control and link to up to eight WiFi-enabled devices at a time. You can control each item independently, utilizing their features without a concern of causing a problem with another. From digital picture frames to printers, My Wifi makes it incredibly easy to control these external devices with the touch of a button (or a few keys and mouse clicks).

Imagine a world free of wires. No cords strung across your office, ready to trip you at any time. No drilling of holes in walls, or floors or ceilings to connect electronics between floors. No tangled cords. Pretty groovy idea, if you ask me.

My Wifi’s capabilities are not currently available to the public. However, it will be available for download during the first half of this year.

AccuWeather for iPhone

New Apps for the iPhone tend to make more news than any other electronic out there. There is always something that is iPhone newsworthy.

This little application is quite helpful, especially with all of the recent harsh weather we have been experiencing this winter. AccuWeather.com has released an app for the iPhone to keep in touch with current conditions in the outside world.

“AccuWeather provides just enough information on the home screen to let you know it’s a weather app: current temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, and ‘RealFeel’.” Macworld’s iPhone Central explains.

It seems that iPhone has acquired yet another application that is not only beneficial to the users, but also to Apple.

Nevermind Vista, What’s Windows 7?

Microsoft is moving on from Vista, one of their biggest flops ever, and working on Windows 7.

Windows 7 Beta was due to be released early 2009, but has been leaked. Microsoft isn’t exactly upset about this, but the new operating system is still in its early stages of development. According to InformationWeek’s article, Windows isn’t planning on releasing the full version until late 2009, early 2010.

Helpful Firefox Add-ons

Make life easier? Computer users have a diverse array of needs and/or wants when using their computers according to what they do. Whether they are relaxing and uploading pictures to their Flickr account, or they are web designers in a fast-paced company, Firefox Add-ons can make all of these tasks easier.

Browsing the internet, finding images you like, and uploading them to Flickr has gotten easier! Uploadr for Flickr will come in quite handy if you like to add web images occasionally or even frequently to your Flickr account. Just make sure you’re logged into your Flickr account after you’ve installed it and restarted your Firefox browser, and you’re ready to go.

Web designers can surely utilize Web Developer, a multifunctional, easy to use Add-on that allows you to locate, view and edit codes within webpages (and so much more). If you’re a web designer, this will make your life a little easier. You may not mind editing your stylesheet one code at a time to see what went wrong, re-uploading it to your server, and doing it again when you find out that wasn’t what you wanted to change in the first place… but this will eliminate some steps. You can not only view the CSS for a page, within the page, but you can also edit it while viewing it, which reloads as you change the code. Pretty snazzy.

Opera shows off ‘Dragonfly’ developer tool kit

Opera has launched the first public Alpha preview of its suite of developer tools, until now known only by the codename ‘Dragonfly’. The tools promise to help web developers debug site elements including DOM, CSS and JavaScript. Available as part of the most recent Beta release of Opera 9.5, the Dragonfly tools currently do not support inline editing of code, although this is planned for the next preview release.

The tool is also designed to help debug sites designed for mobile phones, consoles and TV devices through a regular desktop or laptop computer, as long they are capable of running Opera 9.5.

Dragonfly will also be updated automatically over the web, without any user intervention.
