I have probably shown a few dozen multifunction printers on my show over the years, and I have to tell you, the bar is pretty high when it comes to today’s crop of AIO (all-in-one) devices. Each time I look at a new one I am impressed with the innovations in print technology, price and interface. The manufacturers are constantly challenged to come up with better, less expensive, more innovative technology, and the bar keeps climbing higher.

On this episode Steve takes us on an Apple adventure. First he introduces us to the slender Mac Book Air, a laptop so thin it fits in a manila envelope. The new notebook features a full-size keyboard and a backlit LED 13.3-inch display. It also ships with a built-in iSight camera, a solid-state drive, and a new larger track pad which supports multi-touch gestures. This means that just like the iPhone, you'll be able to pan around your photos, pinch to zoom in or out, and rotate with only two fingers!

I am currently on vacation, touring the Maritimes, but like any self respecting totally connected computer dude, I am equipped with every electronic convenience one could imagine.
I have a DVD player for the long rides, 2 iPods, my notebook, a GPS, my BlackBerry, noise canceling headphones, an EVDO wireless card for the notebook, and 2 digital cameras. I am having trouble finding room in my briefcase for a book or 2 with all this gadgetry.
It is all coming in very useful, but the cables, my goodness, the cables. Connecting all these devices to each other, and to the wall for power is becoming, well, not becoming it is ridiculous.

September 20, 2007 — Jeff GrobermanI have a summer cottage on Gambier Island near Vancouver. Actually it’s my wife’s cottage, but she sometimes lets me use it. One of the problems with the cottage is that it doesn’t have land access, electricity, or phone service.
The first problem was easy to deal with. You have a boat to get back and forth, or take the water taxi. The 2nd problem was fairly easy to fix as well, with a bunch of coast guard surplus solar panels and a bunch of forklift batteries supply an inverter, and bingo – power.
The phone was a problem until the advent of the cell phone. Till that time one had to rely on a marine band telephone which was like having one huge party line shared by dozens of people. You had to wait your turn, and that could take hours. So when the cell phone became an option, that took over, and since we’re only a few miles from town, all calls are local.
