To launch Wi-Fi Diagnostics, hold down the Option key as you click on the Wi-Fi icon in the menu bar. That’ll open the Wi-Fi menu with an Open Wi-Fi Diagnostics item at the bottom; click that item to open the utility. You can also launch the program directly from its hidey-hole: In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder, and enter /System/Library/CoreServices/. You’ll find the Wi-Fi Diagnostics app in there.
In keeping with recent meteorological themes – iCloud, Thunderbolt – yesterday Apple introduced the new “Lightning” connector for its mobile hardware. This will be the replacement for the venerable 30-pin dock connector introduced 9 years ago. I haven’t seen it in person yet, but here’s some speculation on how it may work.
Magic Lantern on the EOS 7D? Yes, that’s true. Our young team member g3gg0 did the impossible, and solved the 7D puzzle within days of receiving the camera from Trammell Hudson (on September 12). Background: Trammell Hudson started to port Magic Lantern on 7D three years ago. While he was able to run user code using the firmware update procedure, he was not able to run it in parallel with Canon firmware – which was required for Magic Lantern to run as an add-on software, without replacing the main firmware. Since then, we had little or no idea about how to solve this puzzle, until last week, when g3gg0 had an Aha! moment and discovered how to load Canon firmware from autoexec.bin code. The first analysis shows that porting is straightforward (more or less), and most features will work without major code changes, as Magic Lantern does not have to run on both DIGIC processors. Basic features such as zebra and focus peaking are already working, so you may expect an alpha version to be available soon. Are there any of you still interested in a Magic Lantern port for the 7D? Please let us know by supporting our work!

There is something so brilliant and simple about the Popinator, a voice-controlled popcorn shooter that works on demand.
On the face of it, this dongle and app combo is a remote shutter release for your iPhone – but that’s just the beginning of its capabilities.
The rumors are confirmed the iPhone 5 does use the nano-SIM standard. Although they didn't mention in its event, the company has confirmed with an iPhone model comparison chart.
The Canon EOS C100 is almost “affordable”, and we should see lots of content from it. I’ll be buying one for my rental business, and hopefully I’ll learn something about shooting video. Film Information (By Sebastien DEVAUD) “Earlier this year, i was contacted by Canon Inc to create a new exclusive film for the worldwide launch of the new EOS Cinema camera : The EOS C100
Designer 'Brusspup' has created a number of animated optical illusions for us to enjoy. This latest video is the fifth in the series and as soon as we saw it, we just had to share it with you. During the video we see rotating cogs, a running leopard and even a pacman munching on bullets. It's incredible to think that each was created using a series of templates; simply glided across each other to showcase this amazing effect.
Next in the Orman Clark’s coded PSD series is his awesome looking Vertical Navigation Menu. We’ll recreate it with CSS3 and jQuery while using the minimal amount of images possible.
There are some great conferences coming up for web designers in the UK over the next 12 months, says Jonathan Brealey of Heart Internet.
To further narrow the scope of this review, the contenders were limited to web-apps, which offer the most accessibility by being, you know ... on the web. Thus, MockFlow, ProtoShare, and HotGloo were chosen as the challengers. They’re all in the same weight-class in terms of features and are, more or less, all centered around creating interactive website wireframes. So, now that we have our picks, let’s get into the ring.
Apogee has now officially introduced the Quartet, which arrives carrying four inputs and eight outputs for a significant boost in channel capacity. The Quartet can also be paired with Apogee's Duet 2 or Ensemble product to expand the number of channels even further.
As the curator of Folyo, I see a lot of different portfolios go by. And I can’t help but notice the same patterns of bad design cropping up time and again. Being designers, we should be aware of how much look and feel can influence the way content is perceived. Yet for some reason we’re happy to forget all about this when it comes to displaying our own work.
Great Job,nice Article.
If you’re worried that you might own one of the 1 million Apple devices that have had their UDIDs leaked by AntiSec, reportedly from a breach of an FBI agent’s laptop, our rockstar tech team has put together a tool to help you check. AntiSec claimed on Tuesday that it had culled 12 million device IDs, along with accompanying personal information, from the FBI in March of this year. The hacker group then leaked 1 million of them, saying it had removed some of the identifiable information from the list, while leaving enough for users to see if their device was leaked.
A futuristic-looking mouse designed by BMW Group DesignworksUSA, called Level 10 M, aims to change the gaming space. The makers write that comparing this gaming mouse to a basic gray mouse is like comparing a high-performance car to a family van.
You can access your data by going to Wolfram Alpha’s site and typing “Facebook report” into the search box. Results will ask you to authenticate the app, giving it permission to analyze your account and tell you details.
A home file server can be extremely useful for backing up your computer, streaming media, and a lot of other things. If you have an old computer lying around, that'll work fine—but if you don't have one (or you want to build something more low-powered), you have a few choices.
The kids of the Hipster Generation will have it real easy, brother. They’re going to be taught by their parents about the health benefits of organic food, the sartorial qualities of plaid vests, and of course, product design. So the best way to innoculate the good qualities of the Hipster worldview might be by making them learn it through beautifully designed, old-school flash cards.
The future is here! With this new tablet you can interact with objects via a holographic user interface.
