Geek Brief TV #381

Today's Brief comes to you from a hotel room that looks like a
grandma's house. Tnkgrl solved the problem [1] of why MacBook Air
super drives only work with MBAs and she explains how to get one
working with any Mac or PC on her blog, tankgrl.wordpress.com [2].

SmugMug [3] has a new service for unlimited storage of any type of
file. The service is called SmugVault and it's built on Amazon Web
Services. Storage costs pennies per GB.

D-Link dropped an update for their DNS-323 NAS [4]. The update
turns it into a PC-free BitTorrent machine. They also released a new
router, the DIR-628 [5], that is dual-band. The 2.4GHz channel is for
regular network traffic and the 5.4GHz channel is for media
distribution.

The Boy Genius Report [6] got a tip that the iPhone will go on sale
at 8AM on July 11th.

SlashGear says JVC will release the world's thinnest 1080p LCD HDTV
[7] in July.

Tomorrow we're having a bus inspected. I'll be providing updates on
Twitter [8] and live video from Qik [9].
