REVIEW: TRENDNET TPL-406E POWERLINE ADAPTER

Small, cheap, quick home networking

In the right circumstances Powerline devices are a great way to quickly and easy connect up your devices.  The reason I say that is because the performance of such devices is heavily dependant on the quality of the cabling it’s used on.  Most people have no issues, but in my experience you’ll never get anywhere near the speeds quoted on the box.

Back to basic web development for OS X

Solar powered Bluetooth wonder

I recently bought a new Mac Mini and was quite surprised (actually, I wasn’t surprised, but I was annoyed) to find that Apple’s ultra-affordable Mac doesn’t come with any form of input device.  That wouldn’t be so bad, if Apple didn’t want to sting you for sixty quid for the official Bluetooth keyboard.  I would much rather Apple just bundle the mouse and keyboard with the Mini and bump the price up, but I don’t work in Apple’s marketing department.
