AirDisk Pro and Notability – Now that works nicely

I had a great time transferring files over to AirDisk Pro last night. I sent over a couple Top Gear episodes and a bunch of PDF files.The Top Gear episodes played fine and copying them over that easily was pretty cool. But once I had the PDF files in AirDisk Pro I opened them up in Notability, which is a new note taking and PDF reading/annotating app I just bought. Notability lets you write notes using the keyboard as well as through handwriting. You can jot down ideas and sketch out pictures. That part alone is pretty sweet. But you can also load up PDF files. You can highlight text, write in the margins, add your own text using the keyboard and mark it up as you see fit. I loaded up a 500+ page PDF and found reading and highlighting to be very easy. You can hide away the menus and there is a great palm rest feature that […]

AirDisk Pro – Wireless Flash Drive

I’ve just been using AirDisk Pro that turns the iPad into a flash drive. It works like a charm to wirelessly transfer files to the device where it offers the ability to either read your files within the app or use the Open In feature to transfer them over to apps that support it.

AirDisk Pro has a decent reader built in, but you can easily open your documents in other applications using the Open In command. Click to open your file then click the Open In […]

Uh oh, the iPad 3 may be too hot to hold… literally

Proof – new iPad IS overheating: Thermal camera shows new model is 5 degrees warmer as users claim it is ‘too hot to hold’ It makes sense it would get warmer when running 3D games, but if it starts cooking your lap things might be getting out of hand.

Turning the tide on the spam bots

I was finally able to turn the tide on the spam bots that have been out to get me. Akismet has kept them at bay for the most part, but they’re still wreaking havoc on the back end by clogging up the database with useless crap and causing dozens of moderation emails to be sent out. I finally got the Math Comment Spam plugin back in place and working which has all but killed off the problem. There seems to be some compatibility issues, but after a whole lot of messing around I finally got it to work again. Unfortunately, I don’t remember a damn thing about what I did. At least I think it works…
