Print to any printer from your iOS device

{Update, December 9th, 2010: Ignacio Joannon added a comment to let me know that Air Haktivator has changed to AirPrint Activator available at: http://netputing.com/airprintactivator}

As you may or may not know, you can now print from your iOS device (iPhone, iPad, etc) if you have a printer equipped with the AirPrint feature. Problem is, that probably isn’t you! You need a fresh, shiny new printer. Bummer! Who wants to purchase a new printer just to print from their iOS device. Not something I’m going to shell out bucks for no matter how convenient that might be.

Well that problem has now been solved for Mac users thanks to the folks over at Netputing. They just released their free AirPrint Hacktivator application. Setup is simple and only involves the steps you’ll find after clicking the link below.

For my musical friends and followers - keystroke combo day!

I learned this little trick from my daughter. It involves a Windoze PC (Hey, I'm stuck with one at work and my  daughter is stuck with one at school) and musical notation. You can create a couple of musical symbols with a press of the Alt key and a couple of numbers on your numeric keypad (not the number keys -- only the numeric keypad.

Buyer beware alert!

I just tried out these two eBook readers at Macy's. Although not e-Ink and in color, they were horrible and very sluggish. Disappointing at any cost.
