Trying Out Apple’s Mobile.Me
I’m trying out Apple’s Mobile.Me, as part of my concerted effort to de-construct tech needs and provide the simplest solution possible.
Apple: Fix the WWAN status in the menu bar option
…in OS X 10.6, Preferences, Network…
The checkbox never stays checked. And the WWAN status never shows up in the menu bar.
This is for various Verizon/VZW devices, at least the USB720 and the MiFi 2200 Novatel.

The Digital Road Warrior
Today marks the second day in a row I’ve worked from the same place — the YCG Northwestern Headquarters. Above you can see the lovely scene that greeted us as we cruised into Vancouver, B.C. this last weekend for an extended series of face-to-face client meetings.
Being on the road constantly has lead us here at Your Computer Genius to perfect the Digital Road Warrior’s arsenal, or rather, to make the most of the available technology, while striving to keep costs down, equipment fresh, and the backpack light.
The current mobile setup I use is as follows:
- Macbook Air — 3lbs
- Verizon USB720 — $59.99 Monthly Access
- Vector 75-watt Power Inverter — For 12-volt access
This worked great all the way to Canada and back!

iPhone Adoption
The iPhone 3G is a nice product.
Here are the benefits:
- Touchscreen
- Full keyboard
- Bluetooth
- Camera (1+ MP)
- GPS
- WiFi
- 3G Connection
However, I will not upgrade the Your Computer Genius Team to iPhones until these things are accomplished:
- Cut & Paste
- 3G Laptop tether (USB or Bluetooth or WiFi)
- Dvorak Keyboard Layout
Tell Apple what they need to do to appease us, here at Your Computer Genius Genius Headquarters:
The Macbook Air
The things I don’t like about the Macbook Air:
- Edges on inside (wrist-rest area) should be beveled
- Screen should tilt back further
- Battery life is poor
The things I love about the Macbook Air:
- Slim Profile
- Light Weight
Things I could never go back from:
- Back-lit Keyboard
- Auto-sensing Display Brightness
- Multi-touch Trackpad
