A few years back, there was a push to revive the old "Lost In Space" series. I worked on the pilot episode for the show. My job was to model and texture the new 3D version of the Jupiter 2 spaceship. Not sure that show ever saw the light of day. Here's a look at that CG model, enjoy.

onOne releases a cable release DSLR Remote application for the iPhone. It allows you to control (Canon only) DSLR cameras, wirelessly from the iPhone. Hooking up a Canon DSLR camera to a computer via USB, allows the DSLR Remote to communicate with the computer. You can then use the application to control the camera's shutter speed, aperture, white balance, etc....
You can even see the camera’s Live View right on the iPhone, giving you a real-time preview before shooting your photos. The Pro version is in the iTunes store at an introductory price of $9.99 and will jump to $20 shortly after a brief period. The lite version, limited to shooting photos only, sells for $1.99. If it sells well, we can no doubt expect a Nikon version, if not already in the works. Check out their site for more info, and camera compatibility.

There are many ways to go about backing up your Mac hard drive locally. In another article I'll go over how to do this from within OSX using Disk Utility. However, there is something to be said for well designed applications that simplify the steps needed into a few clicks for both Backups and Restore.
I tend to go back and forth between Carbon Copy Cloner and Super Duper. Both of these programs are just as good. They both support incremental and bootable backups. So what's the difference? Mainly the price. Carbon Copy Cloner is Free, but they accept donations. Super Duper will allow you to make free full disk backups, but the full registered version costs $27.95.

While doing research on encryption methods for multi-boot netbooks and laptops, I came across this requirement for Vista and Windows 7. Microsoft needs a Trusted Platform Module (TPM Chip) to activate its encryption technology. This chip however, is not present in most lower end notebooks, or in most netbooks either.
There exists a workaround however. In the local group policy there's a setting that will allow you to turn on the ability to use a USB storage device instead of a TPM key to store your encryption key. The catch is, every time you turn on your computer, your USB storage device with the encryption key needs to be plugged in. Otherwise your computer will not boot. Your USB storage device has now become the key to your computer. Here's how to do it....
