Tumbleweeds

At CES the nice man from www.SmartSleeves.com gave me some to try for an iPhone, iPhone with case and iPad.
They’re like ziplock bags but better because they are custom fit and the touchscreen still works.

This Toshiba ultrabook has an (unintentionally) bendy plasticky lid.

JVC 4k video camera. Records up to 2 hours to SD cards at 4k resolution (3840x2160) - that’s 4x HD - through a single sensor.

Canon C300: video camera with an APS-C sized sensor, and $20k cine lens.

Canon G1X is a behemoth of a camera and expensive too. Not sure what the point is.

Ultranooks: are they this year’s netbook?

Nokia Lumia 900. Can it save Windows Phone?

Hugely important post by Alexander Wilde for anyone trying (and failing) to use networked storage with Lion. If you can’t wait here’s the workaround:

1)  Launch /Applications/Utilities/Terminal and do:

sudo chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_host_prefs_version -int 1
Now restart your computer.

2)  From Finder, select an AFP server, or use “Connect To…”.  This will cause the AFP Client to create the full preferences file.

3)  Launch Terminal again and do:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "Cleartxt Passwrd" "MS2.0" "2-Way Randnum exchange"
sudo chmod o-w /Library/Preferences
Now restart your computer.
