Mac OS X Panther Hacks
08/11/2004 06:15 AM
I finally got round to reading my copy of the wonderful O'Reilly Mac
OS X Panther Hacks book, which, like all of the hacks books, is
clever, informative, well-organised and useful; this one has the
additional merit of having been co-written by my pal
Rael Dornfest, who edits the line, and
is witty, silly and very imaginative indeed. The hacks assembled in
the text range from surprising things you can do with iTunes and iCal
to hacking AppleScript to making OS X cooperate with perl and Python,
but my favorite of all is the iOscillate: an iSight camera mounted to
the top of a de-bladed oscillating desk-fan, so that the fan sweeps
the iSight back and forth in a steady, 180-degree arc, covering all
those seated around a table or in a conference. The hack is truly
worthy of the appellation "hack" -- it's ingenious, funny, and
actually useful in a seriously bent way.

06/07/2004 08:29 PMApple's
AirPort
Express looks like a good product, but it seems to be suffering
from a case of over-integration (i.e. it does too many things). I
think it would help if Apple gave a set of use cases (with pictures).

Airport Express & AirTunes
Airport Express & AirTunes
06/08/2004 07:15 AMApple have announced a nifty little device called
Airport Express
— a portable 802.11g base station with an audio port for
wirelessly sharing music around your home or office.
You connect your stereo to the optical audio output port, plug the
device into a power point and, using
AirTunes (part of soon-to-be-released iTunes 4.6), play music on your Mac
through your stereo.
Being wireless of course, your Mac doesn’t have to be in the
same room as your stereo, just within range of the device. The unit
also has a USB port for wireless print sharing and a single 10/100
ethernet port to extend your network.
Kinda cool, and at GBP99, not priced too badly either.

Apple's AirPort Express
06/07/2004 10:23 PMApple introduced today the new
AirPort Express
wireless doodad. The AirPort Express (can I call it the APE for
short?) is a little white wall-wart-sized brick that can be used for
several things, most notably streaming your iTunes music -- mp3, CD,
or Internet Radio -- wirelessly from your Mac to your home stereo.
That's called AirTunes.
Enjoy your iTunes music library in virtually any room of your house.
Share a single broadband Internet connection and USB printer without
inconvenient and obtrusive cables. Create an instant wireless network
on the go. Extend the range of your current wireless network. How many
devices do you need to do all this? Just one.
In typical Apple fashion, the APE is simple and straight to the
point, and will be an attractive option for a wide variety of users,
because it can do a wide variety of things and because it's very
portable. It's based on the 802.11g wireless standard, and should work
with just about any 802.11g hardware out there, not just Apple's own.
Sounds like it will even work with the Winders version of iTunes.
Priced at $129. I think I can swing that!

08/06/2004 10:01 AM
Alone, this post on
Powerpages about using the Airport Express in a hotel room might not
be quite link-worthy, but as people keep adding comments to it with
their experiences, it's starting to become even more interesting. It
would be nice if hotels would start making information about their
"in-room internet" a little more detailed, as it becomes clear from
everyone's experiences that the different internal network
configurations from hotel to hotel make a big difference in how you
need to use your Airport Express (or any other Wi-Fi bridge or router)
to get online. It would be nice if the hotel management would just
tell you their settings in the first place (although I suppose that's
sort of like expecting them to tell you what gauge of pipe they use in
the commode.)
Head over and share your on-the-road experiences with other AX
users.

gives the Apple Airport Express a good once-over, testing it not only
in its primary job as an 802.11g access point, but all the additional
features (like streaming iTunes music, extending the range of an
existing network, and printer sharing) as well. And all the extra
functionality is what ultimately makes him a man happy with his
purchase. As a combo device the Airport Express is worth the $129, he
says, but for people who only need a single aspect of its ability,
cheaper options are available (they just aren't small and white).
Oh, and for the record, Bangeman was able to use the Airport
Express as a wireless bridge (WEP only, no WPA) with a Linksys WRT54G
wireless router, so mixing the Express with non-Apple hardware is an
option, even if it isn't an Apple-supported one.

07/22/2004 06:09 PMApple's AirPort Express may quickly become one of the most reviewed
pieces of new wireless technology: It will receive many reviews for
several reasons, including the fact that it's the smallest Wi-Fi
gateway (when you include its built-in power supply); it's the only
one to stream audio in the particular way it does; it includes several
interesting features in one wrapper; it's relatively cheap for any two
of its four unique set features*. It's also from Apple and had 80,000
pre-orders, so it's a natural. (Amazon.com now shows it not first
arriving until August 1, and other sources indicate a three-week
backorder. But the Apple Store in Seattle says they should have
another supply any day now.) I've been working with an AirPort Express
for a few days, and it's just about as easy to setup and use as Apple
promises. There are no obscure settings. Joining an existing AirPort
Extreme network was a snap. So was reconfiguring it as a base station
and assigning it a WPA encryption key. So was playing music through
its attached speakers from any copy of iTunes anywhere in our
wired/Wi-Fi office. My officemates threatened to play strange music
into the speakers in my office, as any copy of iTunes can use any set
of AirPort Express speakers on a network unless you password protect
access to the speakers. Three reviews check in today from
well-respected sources. David Pogue walks through the pros and cons of
the device in The New York Times, and comes down reasonably heavy on
the pro side. He misses having a remote control and notes that it's
odd you can't play through several sets of speakers at once each
connected to their own AirPort Express as you can with other devices.
The total of the parts in one well-designed package adds to a winner
for him, however. He notes that you'd need two or three other devices
to come close to the Express--and in that comparison, he leaves out
the Express's client mode (to connect for streaming/printer sharing to
any Wi-Fi network) and its USB printer sharing, which is an expensive
stand-alone add-on for 802.11g networks. Walt Mossberg's take was
substantially more negative because of a few flaws he felt were
significant. He finds the lack of a remote-control a total
showstopper, and I admit that that was one of my reactions on first
hearing about AirTunes streaming music....
