Several months ago I wrote a tutorial How to burn copyrighted DVDs. It was a very simple, basic explanation of how to copy a DVD that was Copyrighted.
Lifehacker has recently posted a far superior article: Turn your PC into a DVD ripping monster that covers pretty much everything I had mentioned in my original article plus much more, let’s face it they are just plain better then me.
Commercial DVDs are far too expensive to let scratches turn your video into a glorified coaster, but most people still don’t back up their DVD collection. Let’s take a look at the best ways to back up and play any DVD rip on your home computer, along with how to burn a DVD rip back to a playable DVD.
Make sure you check out the article and download both DVD Rip and DVD Shrink. They are both very useful and simple to use programs, not to mention they are completely free.
I would really like an iPhone, but I do not have AT&T nor have any desire to have service with AT&T. I deal with them almost daily for representatives of my company and lets just say I’m not impressed. On top of that my work already pays my BlackBerry bill through Verizon. I would unlock the iPhone, but it is impossible to use a GSM phone with a CDMA provider. The technologies used in the hardware are not compatible between the two types of carriers. Verizon is a CDMA carrier. The current iPhones are GSM, which require a sim card in order to work.
In any case I still want Multi-Touch in my life, since I missed out on the new MacBook multi-touch track pad’s with my recent Macbook Pro purchase, I’m thinking about picking up an iPod Touch. I feel like I’m totally missing out with this new multi-touch display technology Apple has came out with. If only the iPod Touch had a camera I would definitely pick one up, considering my Blackberry has no Camera. Maybe soon I’ll grab one off eBay, in the mean time heres a few resources for those of you out there that already have an iPhone/iPod Touch.
Happy easter to everyone that celebrates it, although it’s not a very positive photo, it definitely made me laugh.

It’s impossible to avoid the life of any lithium battery declining over time. Eventually your laptop that once ran on battery power for 3+ hours will only last under an hour before you need to connect the power adapter.
I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro and have been researching the best ways to prolong my battery life and the most efficient way to use my Magsafe power adapter. Here’s what I was able to gather up.
You should disconnect the power adapter once your laptop is fully charged and wait until your system gives you warning as “Now your running in reserved batter power” or “Low Battery” use that as a notice to connect your power adapter. Running a charge through your battery that is already fully charged not only wastes electricity but runs unnecessary energy through your battery which can eventually cause damage.
Best method to prolong your battery life is to calibrate you batter every 2 months to increase the capacity and life, if you use your laptop Daily, Follow as below.
Calibrating a MacBook or MacBook Pro battery
Calibrate the battery in your MacBook every month or two to keep your battery functioning at its fullest capacity.
To calibrate the battery:
- Plug in the MagSafe power adapter and fully charge the MacBook or MacBook Pro battery until the light on the MagSafe connector changes to green and the Battery icon in the menu bar indicates that the battery is fully charged.
- Allow the battery to rest in the fully charged state for two hours or longer. You may use your computer during this time as long as the power adapter is plugged in.
- Disconnect the power adapter with the computer on and start using it with battery power. When the battery’s charge gets low, you’ll see the low battery warning dialog on the screen. Continue to keep your computer turned on, save your work and close all applications when the battery’s charge gets too low the computer goes to sleep.
Turn off the computer or allow it to sleep for five hours or longer.
- Reconnect the power adapter and leave it connected until the battery is fully charged. You may use your computer during this time.
At the Apple Town hall meeting last week, Steve Jobs (CEO Apple) announced two major things for the iPhone: 1) support for Microsoft Exchange and 2) the iPhone SDK. This is HUGE for the company and heres why: Why Apple will dominate next generation computing
Apple has made this play flawlessly. The enterprise and SDK solutions will go hand-in-hand to propel the iPhone to be THE handheld device of the future. Ironically, the PC just got its final blow not from a MacBook (which has been on the rise too!), but from a small new computer. Apple got its revenge elegantly, relentlessly and creatively.
