I don't think there's much out there for WiFi, because WiFi is pretty high-powered and expensive for remote sensor use.
Insteon and Z-Wave are common home automation solutions.
Insteon is mixed power-line and RF. Some products use power-line communication, some use RF, some use both. You need a gateway device to bridge your home network to Insteon.
Z-Wave is RF. Again, you need a gateway to bridge to your network.

For example pi is (Alt/Option)+(P)
square root is (alt/option)+(V)
Added, those are really useful!

Can anyone update us on the situation there at Town Square? Trying to decide if it's worth a drive down there.

Theres a seller locally that has a PowerMac G5 Dual core non-liquid cooling system, original restore discs, looks really clean inside/out.
theyre asking $275, i was looking to get it for a spare machine for a family member whose generic pc has been puttzing out on them.
i was thinking of offering $225~ cash for it after testing it out.
I was curious if those who had something similar if they knew if its a decent deal or worth it for that type of machine. i was thinking a mini but theyre still in the $350+ range for intel mac minis.

My other machines fold, but that's cause they are at 36C and -22C.

You can use the PS2, but since it only outputs from component cables you have to buy a (relatively) expensive converter box, like this (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=101&cp_id=10114&cs_id=1011407&p_id=7113&seq=1&format=2).
For the PS3, yes, you just need the appropriate HDMI cable and you should be set.

I have to say, I do like the simplified version of the logo that Apple are now using on their website and Apple TV - when do you think this will come across the the other iOS devices?
What do you mean? Simplified in comparison to what?

hi,
i recently bought an ibook g4. when i am using it, from time to time i hear a slight click from the hard drive. the S.M.A.R.T status is "verified". so is the drive up to no good?

That sounds about normal. Nothing to worry about. The warranty is based on the serial number of the phone and not the owner. :)
ok thanks!
I'm also showing not-so-hot battery life, so if I don't see that improve, I may bring it in to see what they can do. Not going to just worry about the lock key rattle, though.
Thanks!

I was thinking about getting the iPad 2 next week. It will have 4.3 installed on it. Now when updates come out and I update my iPad to a new version, when I connect my iPhone to sync will it automatically install new software to my iPhone, breaking my jailbreak. Whenever I sync now I tell my computer mot to install any updates, but with an iPad that I want updated, will it mess with my phone, or do they keep the updates separate? Thanks for the help.

In computers, antennae are generally used in conjunction with wireless transceivers to send and receive data wirelessly. If I was a betting man, I'd guess that your antenna cable came from the Mini's 802.11 antenna.

Ive been doing similar research in to this,
TRIM is basically clearing a block of information properly, which your OS doesnt do, it just deletes it from your window and allocates the block to be written over. But when this happens on an ssd it means that it takes one cycle to delete the information properly, and one cycle to write what it wants in there.
Massively affecting the speed of the unit.
And all TRIM does is make sure the block is properly empty when it should be.
It is looking like Lion is going to have TRIM support anyway, just it 'may' only be for apple ssd's but there is always a work around, even now you can get a TRIM enabler on this forum.
Plus if its just gonna be a pure boot up drive like mine, and user folder is on mechanical drives, its not really gonna be rewriting anyway, just write once and then a whole load of reading. :)
And from what i can see the ssd is an amazing upgrade, you've only got to search youtube for "mac ssd bootup" and you'll see all sorts geeks showing off there new ssd speeds. lol.
Anyway. hope that helps.

Does VLC offer hardware acceleration from the GPU? I've been using Quicktime X and was unaware of other (possibly better) options.

make sure you add the applicationServices framework then use
double idleTime;
idleTime = CGEventSourceSecondsSinceLastEventType(kCGEventSourceStateHIDSystemState, kCGAnyInputEventType);
This will give you the time in seconds that the system has been idle.

do you mean ipad? or ipod touch?
in any case, both support skype. the ipad does not support skype outgoing VIDEO calls, as there is no camera - however with todays impeding updates this is likely to not be true (the ipad is rumored to have a front facing camera).
other then that, you can make voice calls just fine :)

... I have a Mac Pro that contains my main administrator account (the one that gets used 99.9% of the time....
This is very bad. never do "normal" work in an account to as admin enabled. Make an unprivaleged acound for yourself and use the for all day to day work
Easier is to make another admin account and set your existing account to not-admin.
The simplest thing is for each of you to share you itunes libraries. then each account can see both libraries.
What you really want is one library that both of you ca use. iTunes is not very good at that. Apple just didn't design for this well. One option is a third "user" that has a librey with all the songs or you have to decide which of you has the libreary.
But first take care of that security problem and remove Admin from your account

My only prior Apple experience was in grade school with the ][e (those were the days :p ), gotta love that green text and The Oregon Trail was one of the best computer games ever. I used DOS at home(ok, I didnt "use" it I just cd to a game directory) and then Windows when it became decent(95). I switched to Linux on my x86 box and only used Windows for certain games. Never much liked Windows, nothing exciting. I love Linux though and the whole unix philosophy.
I needed a laptop recently and decided to go with a Powerbook 1ghz for the form factor, design, and to give OSX a whirl, I always admired OSX since it was first shown to the public and the fact that its unix-like was the nail in the x86 coffin for laptop choice.
Needless to say my experience has been positive, from unpacking the box to firing up the OS. It gives me the best of Linux(unix stuff) and the best of Windows(games, office, photochop, audio applications).
Ive used everything under the sun and I must say that OSX is the best looking desktop environment by far and the graphics acceleration is icing on the cake.
The only negative has been lack of configurability, Linux absolutely rules here. Still though I guess that can be a plus too as it keeps things simple and clean.
On a scale of 1-10 I give my Mac a 9.9 :)
