Find My iPhone Service

September 3rd, 2011 | No Comments | Posted in Apple, Technology

Not sure why I didn’t do this earlier.  Apple’s Find My iPhone service is free and seems to work great.  It can locate a lost phone, make it play a sound, wipe it clean or lock it.  Very useful.  For all those with an iPhone 4, this should be a must have service.

Nike Sensor + iPod

March 25th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Apple, Personal

I was just about to pull the trigger and buy the Nike Sport Kit that works with the iPod as well as an armband to hold the iPod in.  Unfortunately, I have an old iPod Mini (2nd gen) and the Nike Sport Kit only works with the iPod Nano and Touch.  This is a real bummer as I have started to make jogging a part of my life.  Even though I am only jogging about 2.5 miles at a stretch, I have been fairly consistent for the past few months, averaging about 3 times a week.  My wife does have an iPod Nano (4th gen), so I could try to talk her into swapping with me, but that probably won’t work.  Guess I’ll either have to buy a Nano or just be content to listen to jogging podcasts on the Mini for a while.

Macbook Sleep/Hibernation Tip

December 16th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Macbook

Very useful tip on how to speed up the already super-fast sleep/hibernation of the Macbook.

“sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0? = suspend to RAM only (default on desktops)
“sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 1? = suspend to disk only
“sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3? = suspend to disk + RAM (default on laptops)

To see your current hibernatemode: “pmset -g | grep hibernatemode”.
