I really like this printer concept. Came across it on CNET. With everything going touch screen, it’s about time the printer was re-invented. I guess we could just  stick an iPad or Android tablet on top of one of these existing portable printers and we would get the same effect.

So, now your thinking, is that a Mac or is this some kind of Photoshop trick!!! 

Yes, its a Mac, its OSX 10.4 and that is MySabre working perfectly in FireFox! It does look shitty especailly that big urgly yellow area that chops off the right side of your terminal! 

I decided it was time for some more hacking so I quickly designed a Sabre POS app that basically got rid of all the crap html that you get with MySabre! I will be adding this to AgentTools app on TravTools.com. Looks great doesn’t it!

After a recent query on running MySabre on a Mac I decided to give it a try. There are two basic steps to get Sabre running on any machine. Step one is the VPN connection. Step 2 is to get MySabre running.

First I got a copy of the OSX version of Sabre’s VPN software. Not the easiest thing to find mind you. The install went smoothly and created a desktop shortcut to launch the VPN client.

After login, the VPN status appears in the task bar above. Yes its the same green S you find on MS Windows. I ran a quick test to make sure the VPN was working by selecting the Status option and clicking the Test button in there. Notice the successful response from localhost (127.0.0.1). I’m gonna put up another post on how this so-called VPN seems to work!

The VPN setup was way easier than I anticipated. Onto step 2. The web-interface for MySabre has never worked well on any browser other than IE. In Safari, beyond the login screen, nothing seemed to work at all. I’m going to keep at this and will post an update pretty soon. Now I’m determined to get a functional Sabre running on an Apple Mac under OSX.

The sad part about all this is that there is no documentation on this anywhere. If you do find a link, post it in the comments. Part 2 of this experiment would be a successful query for air availability in OSX.

This is Apple’s response to Microsoft’s “Laptop Hunter” ad campaign.

An awesome Bollywood version of Apple’s iconic iTunes ads! Dancers are silhouetted against a greenscreen, performing classical Bharat Natyam, Kathak, Indian folk, hip-hop, and modern Bollywood dance. The song used is “Bachna Ae Haseeno” from the movie Bachna Ae Haseeno, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, and Bipasha Basu.

Apple celebrates 25 years since the first sale. Check out these videos.

This is an old clip but a nice one.

You gotta love these nerds!!!

There is a juicy discussion on the Apple Forums [Link].

Wife catches husband cheating on the iPhone I wonder if its for real!!!

Found this video on the new Asus all-in-one touchscreen PC. 15″ touch screen, 1.6ghz Atom CPU and an 80GB disk.

My first impression is that it looks a lot like the iMac. A bit smaller though. These all-in-one pc’s make sense for offices, especially management. Looks good, less space and easy to replace.
