Create Screenshots With Your MAC

Since i now use the mac for almost everything. I learned if you press a key command on your keyboard you can create screen shots easily.
Heres how to do it!
1. Press “Command + Shift + 4″ (At the same time)
2. Notice that your mouse changed to a target symbol.
3. Now hold down the mouse button and drag. Once you let go it will take a snapshot.
– You will hear a camera sound then the image should appear on your desktop.

Convert iPhone/iPodTouch To A Wireless Mouse

I recently found a program that turns, any iPhone or iPod touch in to a wireless air mouse for your computer. The site has 2 programs that you will need to install. One for OSX and the other for Vista. Depending what OS you must have Mac OS X 10.4 or above OR Windows XP/Vista 32/64bit with Bonjour Installed.

Quoted from mobileairmouse.com:

Air Mouse instantly transforms your iPhone or iPod touch into an in air, wireless mouse for your computer! Sit back and surf the web, browse your photo library or control your music player from the comfort of your couch. Air Mouse uses the built in accelerometer to translate your hand motions into mouse movements on your screen. It can also operate as a touchpad, allowing you to control your computer with a single fingertip. Air Mouse is an essential part of any home theater PC and a presenters best friend.

Internet Connection Issues (Routers)

A question has been submitted by jonathan:

Every so often my router (I think that is what it is called) will not allow my computer to boot to the net. I disconnect it and then after a minute reconnect it. All is fine.
Except today.

I got this message…..

IP Configuration:192.168.2.2 in use by 00:07:xx:xx:xx:xx, DHCP Server 192.168.2.1.

Two or three of my neighbors use our internet service to get on line. I can tell who is using. Sharon has not locked them out yet.

Any thoughts?
