Centrix.ca releases NetworkLocation 2.3 for Mac OS X - Published on 04/03/08 Centrix.ca has released NetworkLocation 2.3, an update to their popular network automation utility for Mac OS X. NetworkLocation allows anyone to create user-defined actions based on their network location, and have them automatically performed when joining a network. Users may leverage their existing network locations with powerful extras, such as launching applications, running AppleScripts and more. Version 2.3 adds support for the MacBook Air, and includes many new useful features. Winnipeg, Canada - Centrix.ca has released NetworkLocation 2.3, an update to their popular network automation utility for Mac OS X. NetworkLocation allows anyone to create user-defined actions based on their network location, and have them automatically performed when joining a network. NetworkLocation has been designed from the ground up to be as versatile as possible and yet maintain the core simplicity that is a network location. NetworkLocation adds a whole new dimension to using locations in Mac OS X. Users may leverage their existing network locations with powerful extras, such as launching applications, running AppleScripts and more. NetworkLocation ships with preset actions, such as loading a specific iTunes playlist, setting system volume or connecting to a server, leaving the possibilities wide open. NetworkLocation can be configured with additional locations that don't necessarily change network settings, creating nearly unlimited configurations. Great examples include changing the screensaver or desktop image to something more appropriate at the office, disable bluetooth and lock the Keychain at the coffee shop, or play that favorite playlist at home. Why be limited to a single default printer? NetworkLocation can define a different default printer for every location. Version 2.3 adds support for the MacBook Air, and includes many new useful features, such as running shell commands in a Terminal window, as well an action to ensure network connectivity before performing network related tasks. Support for the Growl notification system has been integrated, and bugs have been fixed in the actions related to Mail. CPU and Memory usage has also been reduced, and the application size has been greatly reduced. Actions that ship with NetworkLocation: * Set the system location * Set the system volume * Enable or disable Airport * Set the display brightness * Open a URL * Connect to a server * Change Apple Mail SMTP servers * Change Apple Mail Settings * iChat status message * Launch an application or run a script * Quit an application * Play an iTunes playlist * Change the default printer * Set screensaver settings * Lock keychain * Enable or disable Bluetooth * Synchronize iSync * Change desktop picture * Change time zone * Run a shell script in Terminal * Add a delay (network-aware, or time-based) between actions What is a Network Location? A network location is a group of settings for network ports, such as the computer's Ethernet port, modem port, or AirPort Card, for example. If often changing network settings, switching between locations is much quicker and easier than repeatedly modifying individual groups of settings. After creating locations, users can switch all of their network settings and more using NetworkLocation. Minimum Requirements: * Mac OS X Version 10.5 Leopard or later * Universal Binary for PowerPC and Intel * 6 MB Hard Drive space * Airport or Airport Extreme Card Pricing and Availability: A single user license for NetworkLocation 2.3 is priced at only $25.00 USD. There is a 30 day trial freely available for download.

CoolIT Systems Pure CPU Cooler - Water Cooling For Under $100 The CoolIT PURE CPU cooler utilizes a pre-plumbed, factory sealed, closed loop radiator and pump module designed to effectively and efficiently dissipate heat from the CPU. Up until now CoolIT’s CPU coolers have harnessed the power of both liquid cooling and thermoelectrics, but that is not the case with Pure. What some thought could not be done CoolIT Systems has done, released a CPU only water cooler that costs under $100. Quote: "With the PURE being a sealed system it is ok for the fact that it is maintenance free. The downside is that it is not expandable. Another downside is that air that is trapped in the system is there forever. The unit I tested had some air trapped in it. It took a good 3 days of it sitting upright to stop gurgling. After that it was good to go, just as long as I didn’t bump the case or disturb the cooler in any way..."

Live Previews of Remote Macs: Desktop Transporter 2.6 - Published on 04/03/08 DEVONtechnologies, LLC updates Desktop Transporter 2.6, its remote desktop solution, adds live previews of remote machines as well as server-side scaling and clipping, keychain support. Desktop Transporter is a remote desktop solution that allows users to use other Macs on either the local network or the Internet without physically accessing them. Coeur d'Alene (Idaho, USA) - DEVONtechnologies, LLC updates Desktop Transporter 2.6, its remote desktop solution, adds live previews of remote machines as well as server-side scaling and clipping, keychain support. Version 2.6 gives those who manage multiple Macs across a network even more power with its new live preview technology. Desktop Transporter shows constantly updated thumbnails of all shared desktops on the local network so that the user always gets a perfect overview of what is happening on all the Macs under control. The update frequency can be adjusted and the list of shared desktops filtered. The latter is especially useful for system administrators managing a few dozens of Macs or more. Desktop Transporter 2.6 uses server-side scaling and clipping for reducing network load and for increasing responsiveness. Keychain support makes it unnecessary to remember all the passwords for the shared machines. About Desktop Transporter: Desktop Transporter is a remote desktop solution that allows users to use other Macs on either the local network or the Internet without physically accessing them. Like the much more expensive Apple Remote Desktop, Desktop Transporter shows the screen of the remote Mac either in a window or in full screen and allows the user to interact with the other computer as if it was the local one. A menu extra makes it possible to access remote Macs without launching the main Desktop Transporter application, while a background helper application takes care of sharing desktops even when the menu extra and main application are not running. Using Bonjour, the presence of a shared Mac on the local network is made known, making it unnecessary to pass IP addresses around. In addition, Desktop Transporter 'survives' Fast User Switching. A shared desktop remains shared even if the user switches to another user account. Other features of Desktop Transporter, which is optimized for both Intel and PowerPC bases Macs, include: Clipboard synchronization for text and graphics in both directions, hardware acceleration, and support for non-English keyboards. The latter is one of the main drawbacks of free solutions such as VNC when used outside English-speaking countries. Desktop Transporter was developed by Norwegian Mac developer Daniel Stodle and it is distributed by DEVONtechnologies, LLC. All rights on Desktop Transporter remain with Daniel Stodle. Availability And Pricing: Desktop Transporter 2.6 requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 later and a fast LAN and/or Internet connection is strongly recommended. It is immediately available as a free download from DEVONtechnologies. It must be purchased after the evaluation period of four weeks is over; the update is free for all registered users. Desktop Transporter sells for US$ 29.95 in DEVONtechnologies' online shop, one license is valid for two installations. Volume discount for larger organizations or installations are available as well as students and educators discounts.

Today we look at the Honeywell 80 GB SecuraDrive Portable Drive. SNIP: We were recently contacted by SOYO, a company that has its hand in designing and manufacturing many products in the consumer electronics field. It seems SOYO and Honeywell, a household name in consumer electronics, have partnered to manufacture a series of portable drives, ranging in size from 80GB to 160GB. These drives are of the mini hard drive variety as opposed to flash drives which have no moving parts and are marketed using the Honeywell name. They utilize a 1.8' drive operating at 4200 RPMs. After reading the specs we were quite anxious to review one of these little treasures. Today, after extensive testing, it is our pleasure to present our findings regarding the Honeywell 80 GB SecuraDrive™. http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=1253 A post on your site would be great if you can. Thank you, Scott -----------------------------------------

Dear Editors, we just posted a new article which might be interesting to your readers. A post in your news section would be appreciated. Title: OrigenAE C10 Low Profile CPU Cooler Link: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Origen_ae/C10 Brief: Most HTPC users will find that there are only a limited number of CPU coolers available to use in most HTPC cases because of their smaller size. OrigenAE created the C10 to help fill that void. The C10 has three U-shaped copper heatpipes that come in direct contact with the CPU, and 35 aluminum fins behind a standard size 70mm fan.

Hello Webmasters and News Posters, NEW CONTENT (Visual) - ASUS GeForce 8800GS TOP 384MB QUOTE: "While there were whispers of the 8800GS in the background, it was never really one of those cards that got much attention. Everyone was too busy concentrating on the 8800GT and new 8800GTS 512MB card to really pay much attention to it. ASUS are only one of two companies in Australia who have an 8800GS on the market here. The only other company who chose to take up the card and release it locally was XFX. The card seems to be a bit of a weird model and we’re not too sure where it will sit. The card should sit behind a 8800GT, but the 9600GT also sits just behind it. It’s possible that both cards perform quite similar and companies chose to uptake the 9 series model over the ageing 8800 series."

AMD 780G & Athlon X2 4850e (ECS A780GM-A) review AMD recently released their AMD 780G mainboard chipset & Athlon X2 4850e processor. A good moment to see what this new chipset can offer. Guru3D took the all new 780G based ECS A780GM-A mainboard. The AMD 780G chipset features integrated DirectX 10 compliant graphics and a wealth of other features. That said, 780G and Athlon X2 4850e performed well. Especially so when you consider that the CPU retails for only $89 and the CPU with the mainboard will cost around $160. I have been testing a system for a little over a week now with the new 780G chipset and the Athlon X2 4850e. I have to say, I am pretty impressed with the system. Its not the power horse a heavy gamer would want, but for an entry level PC, HTPC or an occasional gamer, its really good. It comes with everything integrated, up-to a HDMI port. Definitely check this article out. Article URL: http://www.guru3d.com/article/processor/520/

Greetings, Overclockers Online has posted a new review. A news post would be greatly appreciated. Title: Tagan BZ900 900W PSU at Overclockers Online Link: http://www.overclockersonline.net/?page=articles&num=1662 Quote: Tagan has on its hand a truly interesting product. The BZ900 900W is a top notch performer, it held its ground amidst the harsh testing environment and did so while acoustically remaining fairly silent. And who could forget the lights. This unit packs enough LEDs for its own light show! For the modders, the BZ900 900W is second to none. Unfortunately, for those who would rather a more subtle power supply, there is no switch for the lights and or fix without first getting to work with a pair of wire cutters. Thanks for the post. Best regards, Simon _______________________________________________

A news post would be great. OCC has published a new review of the In Win B2 Stealth Bomber Here is a quote from the review: Quote: "On the front of the case is where you will find all of the buttons you need to use the case. There is a power button as well as a little red button, which is the button that you press to activate the drive bay cover's motor. That's right, the drive bay cover has a motor on it that flips the cover from the closed position covering the drive bays to an open position that will expose them all. If for some reason you need to open the front cover without using the button, such as when the computer is off and you need to get to a drive you have under there, you are covered. There is a "Rescue" switch that you are able to toggle between automatic and manual which will shut the motor off when engaged in the manual setting."

Hardware Canucks is pleased to present our review of the ASUS Triton 77 CPU cooler. Quote: If you are looking for a cooler that is as quiet as possible without actually being passive, then the Asus Triton 77 is the cooler for you. We have to admit that at first we were not overly impressed with the Triton, but after using it for 2 weeks we grew to not only be impressed but actually became quite fond of this cooler.
