This Keyboard Really Sparkles!

Take a look at this video of this new keyboard that has come out for use with your Mac. It is fully map-able and able to display images inside each key. So that your tool pallet can actually show up on your key board. A little pricey but cool if nothing else.

Then it will show you a window like this…

Notice the “Automatically set up account” button…

Silent Volume Control

If you are ever in a public place, staff meeting  or whatever this feature comes in handy…

Every time you raise or lower the volume, it makes a “bloop” sound, you can turn that off by going to system preferences…or you  can hold down the shift key while lowering or raising the volume to not play that sound.

Here is a question that people always seem to be asking: “How do I password (encrypt) a file?”

I don’t know how to protect a regular file, but I know how to protect a PDF. You can do this by downloading this freeware application called PDF Encrypter 1.o. All you have to do is install it and you just have to save a PDF file by going to File –> Print –> PDF –> Security Options
