Now while I normally wouldn't post something like this, because this blog should be Pro-Apple, and Pro-NYC - I just feel it's appropriate for some reason.  I mean I can tag this post "Apple", or "iPad" but really it should be in the Uncategorized section with the tags "hilarious". Let me set the stage first.  Daniel Tosh hosts a show on Comedy Central called Tosh.0 (pronounced Tosh point oh - and not smeg-ma like some people would believe.)  During the show Tosh shows funny web clips and comments on them.  He allows people who have failed in video clips to come...

Kanex announces HDMI to DisplayPort Adapter

Posted by Justin on Feb 12, 2010, Categories: Apple Stuff

When Apple released the hot 27" iMac, they said the screen could act as a second monitor for a computer that has a DisplayPort.  Sounds wonderful if your screen on your laptop dies, but what good is it really?  Kanex has found the answer. Their HDMI to DisplayPort Adapter will allow you to take any HDMI source and plug it into your 27" iMac (the site also says it works with the 24" LED Cinema Display).  This means you can work then when you want to hit up some PS3 or Xbox action, connect your adapter and there you...

As a member of the Interactive Media Group, the "software engineer needs a strong technical background to test still, video and audio capture and playback frameworks." Sounds like they need an AV guy for a device that doesn't really have AV - or does it? The iPad's official release is the end of March for the WiFi version (starting at $499) and end of April for the WiFi + 3G version (starting at...

So MacWorld kicks off today in San Francisco.  This is the first year Apple is a no show.  Many speculate that this could possibly be the demise of the SF MacWorld, but only time will tell.  This is also the first time in over a decade that the Expo will be open on a Saturday.  Most likely to help attendance, which is estimated at about 30,000 people. Also, it's Tuesday - which means new product day.  As of 8:00am Eastern time the apple store is down : Normally this would play into MacWorld, but with no Apple showing what could it be?...
