O’Grady’s PowerPage is looking for five or six good product review editors to hone in on peripherals, accessories, iPhone games and apps and all things Mac-related and associated with mobile technologies.
In short, we need reviewers and were hoping for you.
The job: It’s not glamorous, but there’s free review items, fame, immortality, press credentials and delicious cupcakes on occasion.
If interested, hurl a resume and a few sample pieces along to chris @ powerpage.org (just string the e-mail address together and you’re set) and we’ll get back to you within a few days.
Finally, to convince you to apply, here’s a kitten driving a car:
It’s February 15th, President’s Day is upon us and the staff of the PowerPage will be taking a day off to rest and recoup from the trials and tribulations of Valentine’s Day and Macworld Expo.
Swing back tomorrow for the latest Mac mobile news, rumors and information as we get in.
In the meantime, sit back, relax and enjoy the day off!!!
Welcome to 2010 and the staff of O’Grady’s PowerPage will be taking the day off to thoroughly rock out to Heart’s “What About Love?” (which will be played on a continuous loop) as well as ponder the upcoming Apple tablet and iPhone OS 4.0 in the new year.
Come back Monday, January 4th, and we’ll continue to do our best to keep you up to date with the best Macintosh mobile news available.
The tree’s lit, the presents are waiting to be unwrapped and the relatives are en route for brunch later in the day. With that in mind, happy holidays from the crew here at O’Grady’s PowerPage, who will be taking the day off to savor the egg nog and cookies and we’ll be back on December 28th to bring you the latest in mobile news coverage for the Mac.
Finally, since it wouldn’t be Christmas without presents, I present something which has simultaneously been the best and most mind-destroying link I’ve come across in a long time.
It’s early September, the end of summer and time to relax for a day here at the PowerPage.
That being said, grab some barbecue supplies, yank some friends over, set up your wireless routers so you can check your e-mail throughout the evening and have a killer Labor Day!!!
The Philadelphia PowerBook User Group (PPUG) will hold its summer 2009 meeting tomorrow Saturday, 25 July 2009.

In addition to Microsoft’s Bing preview, Microsoft also announced Project Natal, a technology project developed by 3DV which uses a camera technology to function as an input. The core ideas behind the project include motion recognition, complex voice recognition and scanning body features.
And since a picture’s worth a thousand words, here’s what the guys at Joystiq had to offer…
Now if Apple could do something like this with the iSight, that’d be worth seeing…
Guys, I’ll be in Los Angeles covering the Electronic Entertainment Expo and following up on games coming to the Mac, iPhone, iPod touch, where developers think OnLive might be going, what’s in the works with iPhone OS 3.0, etc.
But mainly I’ll be in Los Angeles. Which is part of California. Which, according to my D.C.-accustomed brain, is due to fall into the ocean, catch fire, explode or be attacked by giant monsters.
All of these things may in fact occur simultaneously while I’m there.
So, before I start packing, I’m taking requests as to what you want me to look into, what questions you want me to ask and who you’d like me to hit up with your questions.
So, just shoot me a line here and I’ll do everything I can while I’m out there to make sure I cover your topic to the fullest extent possible.
In the meantime, I proudly present what can only be described as the most ill-conceived computer/privacy protection accessory ever created:
The lads at MacUpdate and Koingo Software have announced that they will be making copies of Koingo’s AirRadar 1.1.7 wireless network scanning software available for free.
AirRadar, which normally retails for US$10, allows users to scan for open networks and tag them as favorites or filter them out. Users can also view detailed network information, graph network signal strength, and automatically join the best open network in range.
The application also delivers other information, including encryption status, encryption type, encryption cipher, router MAC address, first and last seen date and time, noise level, and vendor information.
AirRadar 1.1.7 requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later to install and run and can be downloaded from here.
