Wimax in Japan
Nov 28th
Here is a service in Japan that offers Wimax and a little device that lets you start a WiFi network in your pocket. I guess is like Verizon’s service MiFi. Pocket Wifi is advertising how it’s service can be used with the iPod Touch, PSP, Notebook Computers, and any other Wifi enabled device. I am looking into this device for work but not sure if the coverage maps are large enough in the countryside of Japan. A quick look at the coverage map shows that cities are covered. The monthly fee is about $50 USD.
I Brought My MacBook Back To Life!!
Nov 28th
I am very stoked that I managed to bring my trusty MacBook back to life!! It seems that it was just a hard drive failure as I thought. When I tested it last I couldn’t get it to boot from the Mac OS X disc no matter what I tried so I assumed it was just dead. I put it away for a while and then the other day I decided to give it one more chance before taking it to the recyclers. Well I messed with it for an hour or so and was able to get it booted from the CD, and then decided to run to the local computer store and get a new hard drive. Now I have a new hard drive and the trusty old MacBook is back and running a nice fresh copy of Snow Leopard!!
Moral of the story….Don’t give up so easily!!
