It looks like those battery issues along with the release of the iPad 2 in Verizon stores on Friday have pushed back the HTC ThunderBolt release date yet again.
It's official. Verizon is now completely sold out of iPhone 4 pre-orders. Those who didn't place an order must now wait until February 10th to purchase one.
Sure enough:
networksetup -setairportnetwork Airport 'Your SSID Here' 'Network Pa$$wOrd Here'
did just what I wanted, and it did not require an administrator password or sudo. If you need to get a listing of all of the current Wi-Fi networks which are broadcasting SSIDs, you can use 'airport -s' for a list which will also show what security measures are used.
By the way, if you aren't familiar with networksetup, you should definitely read up on it. It has a lot of features that could come in handy. It also wields a great amount of power, so be careful. The command listed above is fairly innocuous but there is a lot more it can do.
The day has arrived, folks. Verizon and Apple has confirmed that the Wi-Fi version of the iPad will be available from Verizon starting on October 28th.
It appears as though AT&T is experiencing some major upload speed issues today in some pretty major markets. That or they have decided to cap upload data speeds. Let's hope it's the former.
When grandkids ask their grandparents, years from now, "Where were you when you heard that MIchael Jackson died?" a surprising number of them will respond, "On Twitter." Or, on my iPhone, or my BlackBerry or my laptop.
Strangely hidden from the casual user is a spiffy command line utility that allows you to view, configure, and troubleshoot your Mac's wireless connection. It doesn't appear to be well documented, and judging by the obscure location of the command, Apple probably didn't think it would be too useful for the average Mac user. But the hidden command line airport tool is very useful indeed, so here is how to access it, and how you can use it too.
The first thing you'll want to do is create a symbolic link to the airport command, because it is situated in a very inconvenient location for quick usage.

Parrot recently teamed with designer Philippe Starck to unveil some stylish and rather pricey wireless iPod speakers. These speakers are known as Zikmu and they will price around $1,500 when they become available this spring.
A whole lot has been happening in iPhone-land lately. The 3G iPhone is now available unlocked…in China. If you want to write a nasty note about an iPhone Application, you're going to have to pay for it first. Lastly, Apple has lowered the number of iPhones it will manufacture this year, but has raised the number it thinks it will sell.
Imagine a Wi-Fi base station, of the sort that turns your home into a wireless hot spot, with a huge hard drive inside (and, mercifully, no power brick–just a slender power cable). The Time Machine automatic backup feature of the latest Mac OS X version backs up your Macs onto the Time Capsule, automatically, constantly, completely and wirelessly. And in my book, automatic, constant, complete backups are the only kind that really count.
