Another week, another day, another round of tablet rumors for the now all-but-confirmed January event. The latest news bouncing around the Inter-webs is that Apple has placed an order with panel supplier Innolux for a bevy of 10" touch panels to stick in the new devices, be they called iSlate or whatever the marketing team eventually hits on the dart board. This vibes with what we'd heard earlier about the screen being either 7 or 10" in the diagonal, and it reveals a little bit more about the process: apparently Apple wanted to go with this release earlier, but they were concerned about the strength of the glass. Now they've got the stronger glass they need, so supposedly the rumors on the wind say they're ready for a January announcement, with a release coming in March or April. They've even got another supplier lined up to crank out even more of these screens if needed.

A translated WSJ article also says a Taiwanese company called Chang Uei Precision has been signed up to provide "connectors" for the device, but that sounds quite vague and they say a release isn't planned until Q3 of next year.

As always, this all remains hearsay -- Apple hasn't even officially announced an event in January yet, much less hinted that they'll be releasing a revolutionary tablet-style device. So remember what Grandma said about counting chickens before they hatch, and don't. But if any of these rumors prove to be true, it'll be an interesting 2010.

Soft Reset

With the AirPort Express plugged into a power outlet, launch the Network System preference and choose AirPort from the Show pop-up menu. Click the TCP/IP tab and choose Using DHCP from the Configure pop-up menu. Press and hold the device's reset button for 1 second. The light will flash yellow and you'll have five minutes to make changes before the AirPort Express reverts to its previously saved configuration.

Hard Reset
With the AirPort Express plugged into power, press and hold the device's reset button for 10 seconds. A green light will flash for a bit and then the device will reset itself — a process that takes about 45 seconds. Once reset, you can configure it with the AirPort Express Assistant or the AirPort Admin Utility.

Factory Default
Unplug the AirPort Express from the power outlet and press and hold the reset button. While still holding down the reset button, plug the device into a power outlet. Hold down the reset button until you see the light flash green four times. Let go of the button and the device will reset itself. Wait the requisite 45 seconds and configure it with the AirPort Express Assistant or AirPort Admin Utility.

Boy was this a long one in the making. I recently got an opportunity to perform a successful hackintosh. I have an Acer one aspire that I cloned to function as my corporate computer. This was only decided shortly after I was unsuccessful to hackintosh it. I felt really bummed out after I failed to read the destruction to the particular wireless card that it needed. Today I woke up as a determined man. I got my hands on a Dell mini 10 (by the way, This is the most compatible computer to use in order to do this successfully) and began the eventful painstaking process. There are lots of tutorials explaining on how to go about this process so there's a lot of material out there specially here mydellmini.com. If you are able to follow specific guided destructions I'll post the link and article of what you"ll need step by step to undergo your brand new hackintosh experiment and add it to your group family computer.

Here's how and what you'll need.

Monday morning- while I'm relaxing at home, AT&T decided to throw in their collections team at me due to a balance they said I had accrued. To give you a synopsis of what has been going on, I was an AT&T customer for four long years. Shortly after my third year, I decided to throw in another line for my mother. I travel a lot and consequently I have some particular bills on automatic debit withdraw, big mistake right? Turns out I had been paying (for several months) ridiculous amounts of up to sometimes $300 dollars worth of cell phone bill. Freaking ridiculous and absurd. After several months of taking it and being treated like I was taken advantage off, I took my business somewhere else. Well, to say the least AT&T with severe scrutiny surrounding them did not like my move.

I contacted them several times to dispute my ongoing astronomical phone bills however they didn't seem to think I had a valid point! Gee, I wonder why. So I grabbed an attorney. Little did Ms Vianne know that she had another thing coming to her. One day all AT&T iPhone customers will have a choice to have the iPhone with a different wireless carrier. Until then you have enough
time to keep screwing more valued customers. Your day will come. In the mean time, Keep screwing other customers

Good god was I waiting for this one to ever happen. This year has been extremely busy for me. I fly a lot but never seemed to keep a steady rhythm with one single airline. I several trips to South America this year with American and well they bumped me up really quick. At the beginning of the year I started off with Gold status and now I have reached more than 60 segments, thus putting over the top at Platinum tear status. This definitely has its perks and advantages. I make no lines, get bumped up to first class more often than usual and well-traveling is just simply more comfortable. Im going to enjoy flying from now.
