I must say it’s been very rewarding being at Macworld last week. As members of EmiratesMac Apple Usergroup we talked to other user group representatives about how they and we run our groups.

Macworld 2009: LiveScribe Pulse Smartpen Merges Paper And Computer

Here at Macworld 2009, LaCie has launched their Classic Cinema HDTV player with hard disk. We reviewed the Western Digital WD TV in our January issue and I wrote that one thing that surprised me about it was that it didn’t have any hard drive; you have to connect external USB storage.
The LaCie Classic seem [...]
Macworld 2009: Kerio MailServer With iPhone Support
Kerio offers a solution for those who want Microsoft Exchange server but don’t want or cannot get the “real” thing. That’s not really fair though as Kerio’s MailServer alternative is in many ways just as good if not better than Exchange and it runs on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. The MailServer provides email [...]
