Allpe Keyboard
I was considering buying one of these, http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MB869B/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY However, if you look at the reviews it seems that there are problems with the key mapping and there is no # key.

More iPad impressions
Spent some quality time with the iPad yesterday, running a badminton tournament using only the iPad for admin (didn't take the MBP - my backup was pen & paper forms). It worked a treat - the long battery life and light weight (could be lighter, but, hey...) meant I wasn't stuck at the desk or tethered to a powerpoi... 28 Jun 2010 05:11

I also found two apps definitely /not/ in their correct categories: "5000 Asian Girls" in New... 29 Jun 2010 06:22

time machine read only
I cannot make backups because my Time Machine disk "appears to be read-only". In Get Info my access is "custom" (?) and cannot be altered. This has all been working previously. Grateful for any suggestions. -- Trevor Wright ... 27 Jun 2010 06:20

A bit of a cleanup...
Knowing that my System folder has been getting a bit cluttered lately, I decided to do a fresh install today. That's when I found that the SnowLeopard installer offers no options for Install, Archive & Install, or Upgrade (I really wanted a fresh start), it just does it. The install went as expected, and left ... 26 Jun 2010 21:46

OSX Security Scanning Software?
Friend is convinced that someone else got physical access to his Mac (OSX) and planted a key logger on it. Can anyone recommend a suitable, cheap, easy to use program that can scan a Mac system for something as nasty as this? Thanks -- Adrian C ... 1 Jul 2010 02:23
