Money always gives me ideas and motivation to keep saving and how to continue to invest. Wired Magazine is just to keep up with trends and …

This is very useful for designers when they are looking to make a very functional site in older browsers or add new technology (IE 6 ) In my last post I looked at the portscan of an iPad. Today …
Continuing my security theme, I decided to see what the iPad looks like on a network. Can you ping it, what does nmap say about it, does OS detection work, are there any open ports? To test this I used both my iPhone (jimiz-phone) and iPad (jimizIP) connected to my wireless network. The first thing I did was lookup the MAC …

Secure your iPad. Using a vpn while on public wifi
So far I really like this device. I’m writing this post on it. My wife and kids love it. The wife watched a full movie on netflix (only used 13% of battery). What I do like is how iPhone apps can run and there is a cool 2x button that allows you to make it almost full screen. It magnifies it. …
