A mini-guide to Mac OS X for new Mini
owners
A mini-guide to Mac OS X for new Mini
owners
02/01/2005 08:53 PMApple finally went and released an inexpensive computer. With the
advent of the Mac mini, some Windows and Linux users who have been
curious about Mac OS X but turned off by Apple's high prices have
finally bit the bullet and ordered a mini.
Trying an unfamiliar operating system can be irritating at times.
Things are not where you expect them to be, the GUI is different, and
connecting to servers and other PCs can be frustrating. Hence the
mini-guide.
This is not intended to be a comprehensive guide to all
things OS X. Its purpose is to help those new to the operating system
do simple things, like use a Windows printer, connect to a network
share, and figure out what the key with the funny-looking squiggle on
it next to the spacebar does (or even use your PC keyboard with a
Mac). So if you're an "adder" and are feeling a bit out of sorts,
check out our guide.

As eagle-eyed
reader Thomas Shebest pointed out to me, it looks as if Apple has
removed the Mini (car) from its BMWYourIpod page. Either the Mini
isn't supported any longer, or, more likely, someone within BMW's
marketing department didn't want to dillute the Beemer brand with
their low-end cousin. Whichever -- it's still been removed from the
site.

the moon, Alice! (And then, on to Mars) Time will tell whether
this declaration will lead to an actual rebirth of NASA and
realignment of goals for the agency. But I for one am absolutely
thrilled that Bush is planning to give NASA a long-overdue new mission
and goal. Avoiding the obvious pro/con debate of doing this (or the
cost), I think it's absolutely vital to the national psyche for the
United States to have a long-range goal that it can focus positive
energy upon. This could be the first real "Challenge to the
Union" that I think should become an annual event to replace the
State of the Union.
NASA Keeps Their Spirit Up
NASA Keeps Their Spirit Up
08/13/2004 10:55 AMSpirit,
one of two NASA robots currently exploring Mars has exceeded its life
span and is showing signs of wear, but it's still
running and still sending back new
photos. A new Nature
article describes the aging rover's biggest problems: the batteries
are
running low due to weak winter sunlight and the gearbox on right front
wheel has developed a fault.
NASA engineers have instructured the rover to drive
backwards, which reduces the excessive current being drawn by the
front wheel. The weak light on Mars now allows only
enough battery power for an hour or two of activity each day. Mars and
Earth will be out of communications for a week around September 10 and
the current plan is to have Spirit hibernate all week while it's
batteries recharge. Despite the problems Spirit has
traveled over 3 kilometers from its landing site and is now halfway up
the 200 meter-high Columbia
Hills.

to consolidate all their sites into the nasa.gov portal The
argument for change is that users will be served better by a single
website because the agency's various sites vary in quality and
content.
But
scientists and
fans at NASAWatch say consolidation into a single NASA portal -
which is more suited as collection press releases rather than in-depth
information - will greatly reduce the amount of public information
available from NASA. Is consolidation a good idea or is it just a
power grab/manipulation by NASA administrators?

NASA Sets Aside $400,000 For Inventors
03/24/2005 02:47 PMNASA liked the idea of the X Prize spaceship competition so much
that they are using that same idea to help develop a wireless power
transmission system and super strong tethers. The contests will be run
by the Spaceward Foundation and will start in October of this
year.
You can read more about it at MSNBC
… In the most common
power-beaming scenario, energy in the form of light or microwaves is
transmitted through space from a power source to remote receivers,
where photoelectric cells convert the light energy into electricity.
NASA has already tested one such system for keeping
unmanned air vehicles aloft, and the technology might come in handy
for long-duration aerial reconnaissance missions on Mars. The concept
also be used for distributing power from, say, a nuclear power station
on the moon or Mars to other outposts. As
for the tethers, Sponberg said the same super-strong materials could
be adapted to make next-generation spacecraft lighter and more
resilient. "You can imagine layers of carbon nanotubes being laid
down, much like we do with composites today — and that's what we
would take away," he said.
