Possible Fix for MacBook Pro Sudden
Shutdown
Mac OS X Hints' nomadman says:
"I have a six-month-old MacBook
Pro (2.16 GHz). It is by far, the best computer I have ever
owned and used, but twice during this period, the battery has died
on me . . . sort of. It's the now-classic 'charged
battery laptop that shuts down when unplugged' syndrome....
"I have looked around the web for a solution to this, but
nothing. Apple recommends resetting the power manager, and the
PRAM. For me, these have not helped....
"...out of a desperate attempt at something magical, I realized
that, even though the machine would immediately shutdown when
unplugged, it would not do so if I closed the lid and put it to
sleep. Like that, it would stay on indefinitely. So I left it like
that all night to push it beyond its shutdown charge limit. The
next morning, the machine was at 87% charge when I lifted the lid
back up....
"Hope this help some of you get your laptops back up."

New MacBooks in Q2 to Tighten MLCC Supply?
DigiTimes' Nuying Huang and Esther Lam report:
"Although the present supply for X5R high-capacitance
multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) is balanced, sources at
passive component makers are warning that supply may become tight
again as some players have been notified to prepare materials for
new Apple notebooks and demand from Dell is also substantial.
"Supply for X5R high-capacitance MLCCs became tight after Apple
released a new series of Intel Core 2 Duo MacBooks in the fourth
quarter of 2006. Some are saying that Apple may again cause a tight
supply as it is going to introduce mass production of its new
series of notebooks in the second quarter."

Comp Shade Folding Laptop Sunshade
PR: Laptop computers are frequently used in outdoor
environments where sunlight and glare make screen viewing very
difficult due to screen washout. The Comp Shade blocks most of
these visual impediments and increases apparent screen contrast,
thereby reducing eyestrain and helping to control Computer Vision
Syndrome (CVS). The Comp Shade also helps to provide viewing
privacy which is especially needed for laptops used in public
places. This patented design can be folded closed while remaining
attached to your laptop, so it is always with you when you need
it.
Features:
- Install only once, then open/close in seconds
- Attaches to your lid with hook & loop fasteners
- Universal size fits 10-17" laptops (9" to 16-1/2" wide)
- Fits virtually all laptops
- Swings open/closed while remaining attached to your lid
- Made of ultralight, durable polyethylene material
- So thin your laptop still fits inside its case
- Forms a 9" deep viewing tunnel to reduce glare
- Unique, patented design provides true convenience
How it works: A left hand and right hand panel assembly,
each consisting of an integral side panel plus top panel, are
hinged to a mounting strip. The mounting strip becomes attached to
the outside of your laptop's lid using factory-pre-positioned
pressure-sensitive hook & loop strips. The assemblies overlap
near the top center to form a 3-sided tunnel around the screen,
approximately 9" deep. The resulting tunnel blocks most light
infiltrating around the top and sides of your screen. The panel
assemblies can remain affixed to the outside of the laptop's lid
and swing nearly "flat" for storage.
Quality Materials: The folding panels are made of ultra
lightweight High Density Polyethylene, a highly durable, synthetic
material that blocks 100% of light transmission.
Specification: Weighs approximately 7 oz. and adds only 3/8"
thickness to laptop. All components are black.
Price: Euro 25.00

Axiotron Improves Pen Pressure Sensitivity of
Modbook
PR: Solution
hardware manufacturer Axiotron, Inc. has announced that it has
doubled the pen pressure sensitivity on its Modbook Mac tablet line to 512 levels,
offering graphic artists, photographers and other users of
applications such as Adobe Photoshop or Corel Painter twice the
sensitivity and control of their pen strokes than any other
TabletPC on the market. The upgrade is free and is being rolled
retroactively into every Modbook order placed since its
introduction, moving first customer shipments to May 2007.
Axiotron's Modbook features Wacom Penabled hardware, the same
high quality technology that makes the Wacom pen tablets and
interactive pen displays the preferred choice for professional
artists, designers, photographers, and consumers alike. The
Modbook's Digitizer Pen is responsive (133 position updates per
second), accurate (20x display resolution) and now with 512 levels,
provides the highest pressure sensitivity in any mobile computer
system on the market. The radio-based digitizer technology, allows
users to draw while their hand is resting on the screen and control
the cursor while the pen is hovering over the screen, providing for
an intuitive, mouse-like interface with a zero learning curve.
"We are not content to provide the only TabletMac solution, we
want the Modbook to be the best tablet computer for our customers
period." said Andreas Haas, President of Axiotron. "While everyone
is excited and can't wait for his Modbook to be delivered, the one
thing we were hearing in meetings with customers such as Cartoon
Network, Disney Animation, Nike and Pixar, was that the pressure
sensitivity could have been higher. So we worked hard together with
our development partner WACOM to push the digitizer technology in
our Modbook to new limits."
The included Modbook Digitizer Pen features 2 programmable side
buttons plus an eraser, and ships with 3 different types of
replaceable pen tips, which if used on the acid etched surface of
the Axiotron ForceGlass offer a wider range of drawing styles and
sensations. The Pencil Nib, the most durable Nib, is most commonly
used in pen tablets and TabletPCs today and provides a very hard
and direct drawing feel. The Studio Nib is the default tip in the
Modbook Digitizer Pen and essentially a spring-loaded variation of
the Pencil Nib, offering a different feel in controlling the 512
pressure levels. The Felt Nib's marker-type material maximizes
friction on the Modbook's acid etched ForceGlass surface, resulting
in what is said to be the most paper-like drawing experience.
"I had a chance to work with the Modbook extensively at this
year's Wizard World in Los Angeles and I found myself hopelessly
addicted after the first five minutes" said Kody Chamberlain.
Graphic artists will appreciate the speed and power of the hardware
and the elegance of the Mac OS X operating system. The real
highlight of the Modbook is the ability to work directly on a
portable canvas with the variety of pen tips, which really do have
a unique feel and viscosity. The Modbook is a very useful tool for
efficiency, productivity and creativity. Gadget junkies are going
to love it, but art professionals are the real winners."
Based on the Apple MacBook, the award winning Axiotron Modbook
is the only slate-style tablet computer with an integrated iSight
camera and CD/DVD combo drive, as well as other unparalleled
features such as its largest-in-class wide angle 13.3" AnyView wide
screen display, protected by chemically strengthened Axiotron
ForceGlass, in the industry's only, satin chrome tri-metal plated
magnesium top shell.
Compared to the best of its slate-style TabletPC competitors,
just the Modbook's entry configuration at an US MSRP of $2279
already sports the fastest Intel Core 2 Duo processor at 1.8 GHz,
complete with a spacious 60 GB hard disk, the fastest 802.11
a/b/g/n wireless LAN and Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity - all at a
lower price than its competitors. With upgrade options such as a 2
GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, a whopping 400 GB of total internal
hard disk space*, up to 3 GB of RAM, an internal 6x DVD
Dual-Layer/CD burner and a built-in Global Positioning System, the
Axiotron Modbook is simply in a class of its own.
* one internal 200 GB hard disk and second 200 GB hard disk in
the internal optical drive bay
"As an artist and early adopter of TabletPCs, I really
appreciate the Modbook because no other device anywhere offers this
functionality in a portable package allowing me to take my entire
studio wherever I go" said Emmy award winning artist Shannon
Tindle. "Even though I have gotten used to 256 levels of pressure
sensitivity, I am excited about Axiotron doubling it to 512 levels,
because it will give me even greater control over line quality and
the application of texture in my drawings. This also shows that we
artists finally have a tablet computer company that is listening to
our needs."
Doubling the pressure sensitivity to 512 levels is a free
upgrade for every Modbook and is being rolled retroactively into
every Modbook order placed since its introduction, moving first
customer shipments for the US and Canada to May 2007.

LapWorks Aluminum Desktop Laptop Stand
PR: LapWorks Inc., the ergonomic computer lap desk
company, has announced their Aluminum Desktop Stand that elevates
notebook computers when working at a desk to
- improve screen viewing,
- improve typing ergonomics, and
- cool a laptop up to 23% to extend its life.
The sleek laptop stand features 6 easy-to-adjust elevated
positions. The shorter 3 elevations raise the notebook screen by
3-1Ú2, 4, or 4-3/8 inches and angle the notebook's keyboard
to improve typing ergonomics. The 3 steeper inclines raise the
screen 6, 6-1Ú2, or 6-3Ú4 inches closer to eye level
to create an ergonomically-sound desktop workstation when using a
separate keyboard (not included). The $69.95 laptop stand is
available from LapWorks at an introductory price of $59.95 until
May 31.
Constructed of heat-dissipating brushed-aluminum, the
sturdy Aluminum Desktop Stand is also portable, weighing 1 pound, 5
ounces and folding flat and thin (12 x 9.5 x 3/8 inches) for easy
storage in a computer bag. The laptop stand also includes nonskid
rubber pads to grip the laptop, a built-in turntable for 360 degree
rotation and screen-sharing, a neoprene travel bag/slip cover which
doubles as a mousepad, and it carries a one-year warranty.
"Raising a laptop's screen closer to eye level protects you from
holding your head forward to see it, reducing strain on your upper
body and neck," said Jose Calero, LapWorks' president. "Angling the
keyboard also allows arms and elbows to hang relaxed at your sides,
for more ergonomically comfortable typing than when set flat on a
desk."
To correctly set up a laptop as a desktop workstation,
ergonomists such as Sally A. Longyear, CIE, MPH recommend:
- Attaching a separate keyboard and mouse and placing them on a
keyboard tray at a height that allows forearms to be parallel to
the floor.
- Elevating the top of screen to straight-ahead eye level.
- Placing the laptop close enough to see it without holding head
forward.
An experienced leader in injury prevention, Longyear explains,
"The goal is to relax neck, shoulders, arms and hands when typing
and mousing." This illustration shows correct laptop-using
posture.
A thermal study conducted for LapWorks by the California
Polytechnic University at Pomona concluded that the Aluminum
Desktop Stand reduces heat buildup by virtue of its heat-absorbing
aluminum as well as the incline which allows heat to escape. As an
example, a laptop placed on the Aluminum Desktop Stand on its
highest incline ran 27° cooler (88° compared to 115°)
than the same laptop set flat on a desk. "Most heatsinks which are
attached to microprocessors to keep them from overheating are made
of aluminum because of its ability to absorb and dissipate heat
into the air," explained Calero. "The thinner the aluminum the
better the process works."
Features:
- Elevates the screen up to 6-3/4 "
- 6 adjustable angles/elevations
- Low angle mode for typing
- 360° rotation
- Ergonomic design
- Durable aluminum construction
- Rapid heat dissipation
- Folds flat for easy storage
- Cable management
- Includes neoprene travel bag
- Travel bag serves as a mousepad
- Fits any laptop
LapWorks will continue to offer its flagship dual-purpose Laptop
Desks, which:
- Provide a wide, ergonomically-sound workspace across the
lap.
- Fold into a wedge-shaped laptop stand to incline a laptop on a
desk.
- Cool a laptop via built-in ventilation channels.
Dimensions: 12" x 9-1/2" x 3/8 "
Weight: 1 lb. 5 oz.
Warranty: The Aluminum Desktop Stand has a one year warranty
against defects in material, construction and workmanship

2-Finger-Scrolling for pre-2005 'Books
PR: iScroll2 is a modified trackpad driver that adds
two-finger scrolling capabilities to supported pre-2005 PowerBooks
and iBooks on OS X 10.3 and up.
iScroll2 is a modified trackpad driver that adds two-finger
scrolling capabilities to supported pre-2005 PowerBooks and iBooks
on OS X 10.3 and up.
Supported models include most aluminum PowerBooks introduced
from 2003 to 2004 as well as all G4 iBooks.
Note: Models that have two-finger scrolling already built-in are
not supported! These use a completely different, USB-based
trackpad, the driver or which is not available as open source.
iScroll2 is based on Apple's AppleADBMouse-209.0.10 driver for
the ADB-based trackpads found on older models, which is available
as part of the publicly released Darwin source code (and covered by
the APSL). The code added for supporting two-finger scrolling was
written from scratch.
To scroll, just place two fingers on your trackpad instead of
one. Both fingers need to be placed next to each other horizontally
(not vertically, the trackpad cannot detect that). Some people get
better results with their finger spaced a little bit apart, while
others prefer having the fingers right next to each other.
iScroll2 provides two scrolling modes: Linear and circular
scrolling.
For linear scrolling, move the two fingers up/down or left/right
in a straight line, respectively, to scroll in that direction.
Circular scrolling works in a way similar to the iPod's scroll
wheel: Move the two fingers in a circle to scroll up or down,
depending on whether you move in a clockwise or counterclockwise
direction.
In addition to scrolling, iScroll2 also supports mapping the
trackpad button and the tap gesture to a specific mouse button. The
trackpad button can also be remapped dynamically depending on
whether two fingers are on the trackpad. This can be configured in
the included preference pane.
New in version 0.27: more settings daemon updates
System requirements:
- Mac OS X 10.3.8 or later
- Supported PowerBook
Models that are known not to be supported include all G3
and Titanium PowerBooks, the very first
12" PowerBook model, all G3 iBooks, and all newer machines that
come with two-finger-scrolling built-in: The trackpads of the older
machines simply lack two-finger detection capabilities completely,
whereas the models that have scrolling built-in use a completely
different, USB-based trackpad, the driver for which is not
available as open source.
Version 0.25 seems to work just fine under 10.4.1

Switch Your LCD On/Off with LightMe
PR: LightMe is a little utility for your Mac notebook (or
any LCD monitor connected to your Mac) created in order to switch
off the screen without hold pressed the light on/off key of my
MacBook Pro. Using command-F1 (or command-fn-F1) your screen switch
off while if you press command-F2 (or command-fn-F2) it returns to
the previous value (if you press again the same key combo it switch
to the maximum value).
It's a background process so you will not see any icon in your
dock. It's normal!
LightMe is based upon MCBrightness package, a set of classes
that allows to get info and set/get brightness about connected LCD
monitors. MCBrightness can be found in this site at the bottom of
this short page.
LightMe is distributed under GPL license, and you will can found
the XCode Project included here.
If you use it or you like me, you can make a donation (LOL! are
you serious?) or drop me an email with your comments about it at

SeisMaCalibrate Calibrates Sudden Motion
Sensor
PR: Suitable Systems has released SeisMaCalibrate, a new
software tool that calibrates your Sudden Motion Sensor (SMS) so
you can have accurate acceleration readings in three axes.
While a number of products have been released that use Apple's
SMS to perform various tasks, SeisMaCalibrate is the first tool
that, axis by axis, accurately determines each SMS's offset and
scale error. The error values are then used to create calibration
values, which are stored for later use by other programs (such as
Suitable Systems' SeisMac).
One difficulty in developing for the SMS is that different
models of MacBook Pro, MacBook, PowerBook and iBook have vastly
different SMS calibration values. Although Suitable Systems'
previous product SeisMac attempted to set intelligent default
calibration values, a lack of Apple-supplied information made this
problematic. Now, once SeisMaCalibrate users have accurately
calibrated their SMSs, they can click a button to email a summary
of their machine and the calibration back to Suitable Systems. This
will aid in developing industry-leading per-model default values
for SMS access.
New in version 1.2:
- Improved default calibration 17" Core Duo 2 MacBook Pro
laptops
- Added custom icon
System requirements: Mac OS X 10.4 or later
