Dual Core Intel Mac Mini

Mac MiniMac Mini and iPod speaker dock (Hifi) are what Apple some fun new products to see. Bose and others have been making speaker docks for some time now. Apple is just cutting their share in the accessory market. I may be tempted to buy the Apple Mini to put next to my TV set. With a Bittorrent client for Intel Mac, you are set to build your own movie library. The GMA graphics card is the newer version of Intel Extreme Graphics (onboard chip).

Dlink DI-524 Wireless router

Dlink DI-524 Last week, I bought a cheap Dlink wireless router for $50. I must say that it does the job. It maintains the wireless connections as well as the Internet connection. It is more reliable than my old 802.11b wireless router which I paid 3 times more about 3 years ago. I was not able to configure the WPA authentication. I have defaulted on WEP. I had to put some authentication on my wireless network since there are some people who were abusing it by downloading large files. It was the only open wireless network for 2.5 years until one day, the connection was dead slow due to some leachers. You should not count on WEP or WPA for your encryption. SSL and SSH protocols must be used to ensure end-to-end security.
