"Airlock allows your Mac to lock itself, plain and simple. Using your iPhone or iPod Touch, Bluetooth, and a smidgen of pixie dust, Airlock determines whether you're near your computer. When you leave the room - poof! - your Mac locks itself. “And when I come back?” You guessed it: your Mac unlocks.

Salling Clicker allows for control of applications through the user's smart device. Airlock simply locks down your computer and initiates preset commands when your iPhone moves out of range.

"Critics have heaped praise on Avatar, the new epic film by Oscar-winning director James Cameron, calling it a worthy successor to his 1997 blockbuster Titanic While official reviews are not supposed to be out until next week, the film's world premiere on Thursday night prompted one reviewer to declare Cameron "king of the world", on Friday, while another said it marked the dawn of a new film era. "Avatar is an overwhelming, immersive spectacle," wrote The Times newspaper's reviewer, giving it four out of five stars. "The state-of-the-art 3D technology draws us in, but it is the vivid weirdness of Cameron's luridly imagined tropical otherworld that keeps us fascinated," he added. The Guardian newspaper called the technology "formidable" and the effects "remarkable", adding that reporters at a preview screening "were left in no doubt that James Cameron's sci-fi blockbuster was a step beyond anything they had seen before".

I absolutely love the concept of the movie. I'll be really happy if it's great. Alter all, it's the guy who did "Aliens" for crying out loud! Then again Sam "emo-Spidey" Raimi also did Evil Dead 2... so I take things with a grain of salt. :D
- Adrian
This has actually been bothering me about the reviews. They rely far too heavily on "clever" Titanic puns or comparisons. Which frankly make me want to see the film even less. They also take a little bit away from the film itself by not allowing it to rest on it's own merits.

Yes, I worked for a summer at Knott's Berry Farm. I served food at one of the little eateries inside the park in Ghost Town.

I was working weekends at a gas station/discount store (it was the 70's, when we actually PUMPED the gas and washed your windows!) During the week I did a work study job at college 40 miles away... the good news was that I got to study at a dormitory reception desk, and after 2 AM I could sleep in the lobby in a sleeping bag and let the female residents into the dorm when they rang a...

The summer I was 16 I played the bagpipes at Edinburgh Castle in the Edinburgh Military Tattoo and was paid a musician's honourarium (plus room, board and transport). The following summer, I taught bagpipes at an Army Camp for pretty good cash (again, with room and board). yes, it was more than minimum wage and, yes, my parents claimed my income. :)

I've been working since I was like 14. I had to get a permit. I began at Wendy's literally flipping burgers. Min wage was like 4.75 or so and that's what I was making.

Yes I had a real job, a clerk at a book store. Yes I got paid a little more than min. wage. And yes, I filed taxes.
- Jen (SquirrelGirl)

I worked at a computer repair / sales shop for a summer when I was 16. I worked 40 hours per week and I made 11% more than minimum wage. I liked it pretty well - it was neat being fairly good at a job I had no formal training for.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
I was an estimator at a paving company. I took blueprints of a job site, traced contour lines into a computer, then calculated the volume of different materials we would need to do the job. Paid $9.25 an hour, in 1999. Had my own office, a computer, and a plotter (a printer big enough to print blueprints). It was awesome.

Before 18 I worked as a grocery store cashier, a receptionist at a tax prep office, and a retail sales clerk at The Children's Place. Edit: all of these at or near minimum wage.

Yes. I worked in retail for a while. There was no minimum wage then.

I fried chicken in a grocery store for a while and worked as a hotel housekeeper during the summer.
- tab thinks you're awesome
Yep, I was a waitress from ages 16-18 (Bob's Big Boy - yikes) and I worked the third shift in a factory one summer. I did file taxes, but I'm not sure how much of my tips I reported. :)

Nope, first job I had was after leaving college - games tester - and I've gone all the way back to the start after 15 years. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Yep. Burger flipper.
- Kevin Pedraja
Yup, had several real jobs before I turned 18, the most notable being a cashier at Burger King (min wage $4.25) when I was 16 and then manager of a hot dog ($6.00/hr) stand when I was 17. All of my jobs required income tax reporting; I loved filing my taxes, BTW. Not sure why, but ever since that first 1040EZ at 14, I was hooked. :)

First job of any kind was a paper route at the age of 13. I soon quit that, because I've always hated early mornings, and I got a job after school at a greengrocers. I had a bike with a big basket on to ride around the neighborhood delivering the orders. I always earned my tips that wages. Never had to file taxes in England with only one job in any case, but that was cash in hand anyways, NO minimum wage then, and doesn't apply to under sixteens even now as far as I am aware.

That sucks. :( Our credit union put a hold on our checking account because of a transaction at the Apple store. Totally embarrassing when I didn't know that had happened and I went to the bookstore and got my debit card rejected when I tried to buy a $10 book.

I think I will be finding a new credit card company. This is not the first time they've done this. My poor husband was at the supermarket and had the card declined!

I received a 'phone call from my credit card company after spending around £400 in the online Apple store to check it was a genuine purchase. I'd spent over £900 at Amazon the previous week and didn't hear a peep from them!

Apple is a known target of credit card scammers?
- DJF
Internet Fraudsters like to use Apple's online service to buy gift cards. They'll repeat it in chuncks of 300-500 untill the card is dead. #SeenItBefore #WorksForABank
- Christian (Simply X)
I'm glad they're checking for fraud. My problem is with the fact that they never bothered to try calling before shutting off the account.
- Meredith
Agree--it would be much better if they'd call.

Ah, that'd explain it then. Cheers.

So what's the best way to extend the life of the battery on my MBP? Charge to full, let it drain completely, repeat? I heard keeping it plugged into the wall all the time has negative effects.
Alex Scoble liked this
best thing is to minimise the power used on your laptop. So, turn down the screen as much as possible, turn off wifi/bluetooth if possible, and turn off cpu-intensive apps. Many people don't realise this, but having a browser open with 10+ tabs and especially if using flash, are running the equivalent of a game on their computer. So try to stick to a max. of a few apps at a time and no more than 2-3 tabs in your browser. My Macbook (not pro) runs an average of 4+ hours when I do all of this.
- Vincent van Wylick
you normally have to callibrate your battery only once every few months, no more. The more you charge & recharge, the more you kill your battery as it has a limited amount of cycles it can do that. Also, having a second battery and using them on alternate weeks helps a LOT (doesn't work with the new Macbooks of course…)
- Vincent van Wylick
Vincent has said everything I would've said! I do the complete discharge thing once a month, though, but I guess it's down to how often you part-use part-charge it, which, for me, is everyday.
- Timothy Griffin
~ to note now that it's fall & winter approaches, cold saps battery life quickly so don't leave it out in the car or exposed to the cold because you will not get the same performance & this is exacerbated by the colder the temperature is. (goes with cell phones, iPod's & really almost any electronic device)
- sofarsoShawn
Thanks for the input everyone... I am a little worried that I can't swap the battery out of this machine, but hopefully it will last me long enough to make it worth it. The advice I got from you all will help me out with that.
- Frankie Warren
FYI I've got a non-swappable battery and am on 81 cycles with 99% battery health remaining.

Install smcfancontrol 2.2.2 - http://www.eidac.de/?p=134 - and set up 3 profiles: one for the lowest fan speed, one for around 4000 rpm and one for maximum. Set up the prefs so when you are on battery the fan drops to low. When you're on AC power, shift your fan to medium or high.
- Bill Sodeman
It's a Lithium Ion battery...your best bet is to let it go to about 40% charge and then charge it...You never want to let a Lithium Ion battery get to empty as it reduces their lifespan, or so I've read.
- Alex Scoble
pretty interesting trick, that smcfancontrol. What I also noticed makes a massive difference is using Flux (http://www.stereopsis.com/flux...), which you can set to change the colour temperature of your screen. When it runs, I get like 20% more battery life. However… there's no way to make it run all the time, unfortunately, just when it thinks it's night.
