Chargers for all of our various iDevices are a necessary evil. One is in the kitchen but it’s for the iPad, another is in the bedroom but it’s only for the iPhone. Then there’s a charger in the den but it’s already in use by another family member. Frustrating.

Baby you can drive my iCar – MyMac Podcast #454

Gaz couldn’t be on this week so Guy looked for another Brit to take his place. Will Green worked out so well 2 weeks ago so why not again? And it was just as great this time around with so many off-topic topics that you might forget this is a Mac show! Neither knew when to stop so it’s extra long as well (which should make Gary Apter happy!). Yeah they talked a bit about Apple going into your next car, but you should listen because it’s Will Green!

xPrint Server – Review

My HP printer is almost five years old. I am of the philosophy, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” I have it plugged into my Airport Extreme so everyone in the family can print wirelessly from this printer if they don’t want to use their own printers. However, printing from iOS is another story; more on that later. Seeing a problem to be solved, the good folks at Lantronix came up with an elegant solution: the xPrint Server.

Powerocks – Review

We use our iDevices on a regular basis: reading and sending email, checking our Facebook page and Twitter stream, searching for driving directions or the closest pizza parlor. As a result the battery drains quicker than we’d like. A spare battery pack would be quite a useful purchase. I was recently sent two battery packs for review. The first one is the Powerocks Stone3 Dual USB Powerbank.
