Show notes for MacMerc.com ”The Lab with Leo” segments posted

rickinthelab 20070706 003011 Show notes for MacMerc.com The Lab with Leo segments postedAs you may know, I drop by the set of The Lab with Leo Laporte about once a month and tape a few segments covering Mac and Photoshop tips. The first 3 segments I did have already aired and the production company has graciously allowed me to cross-post my show notes here.

Be sure to follow the links therein to not only the products I’ve demonstrated but to The Lab’s website–it’s chock full of great geeky goodness. And since the show has yet to find a home on US television, The Lab’s website is a great place to view video clips of the awesome guests the show has brought in.

Also, visit the shows blogs for updates on the production and find out when and how you can peek in on the taping of the show live via Stickam.

Sonnet announces MacCuff mini Mounting System for Mac mini

maccuffmini 20070606 202130 Sonnet announces MacCuff mini Mounting System for Mac miniSonnet Technologies has announced the MacCuff mini, a back-of-monitor mounting system for Mac mini computers. MacCuff mini provides users with a way to mount their computer to the back of an LCD display (or under a desk or table) while retaining full access to all of its ports and the disc slot.

Most LCD monitors have open VESA mounting holes on the back that provide an ideal spot to attach a MacCuff mini. Mounted securely on the back of a display, a Mac mini disappears. Sonnet helps cut the clutter by providing a 12-inch DVI-to-VGA monitor cable that connects the Mac mini to the monitor, without ever touching the desk. An included cable tie secures the power cable to the bracket to prevent accidental disconnects. MacCuff mini can just as easily be installed under a desk or shelf. Regardless the mounting method, MacCuff mini’s open-frame design allows normal Wi-Fi and Bluetooth operation.

MacCuff mini is constructed of rugged steel, and its refined platinum finish with a durable plastic coating won’t mar the computer’s finish. Installation is easy. For back-of-monitor mounting, just locate the empty VESA mount screw holes on the back of the monitor, and then use the supplied machine screws to secure the MacCuff mini. For under-desk mounting, simply tape the included drill template to the surface, drill pilot holes, and attach the bracket using the supplied wood screws. Mac mini simply slides into the MacCuff mini.

MacCuff mini (part number CUFF-MINI) is available now for the retail price of USD$49.95.
