Electronic Apple Island

After months of rampant speculation, Apple Wednesday announced a touch screen tablet computer, the “iPad” for consumers who want to take their movies, TV shows, music, games and reading with them, be it around the house or on the go. Pricing starts at $499, and it should be available in 60 to 90 days.

“We want to kick off 2010 with a truly revolutionary and magical product,” CEO Steve Jobs told a packed audience at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco on Wednesday.

The wireless device can be used with Wi-Fi, as well as run on AT&T’s 3G, or third-generation, wireless network. AT&T has been the exclusive carrier of the iPhone in the United States since its release in 2007, and some were hoping that Apple’s new tablet would also work with other carriers’ networks, including Verizon Wireless.

Should the unlikely event happen that you loose your master password you will be happy that you’ve read this tip!

The key in resetting your Macbook password is on the Mac OS X install DVD that shipped with your Macbook.

Here is how to use it:

If you like me have to write emails and documents in more than one language you may find that the OS X spelling checker underlines all words that are written in another language than your main language. There is an easy way to overcome this, as Mac OS X can check the spelling of multiple languages simultaneously.

In any application that supports spelling check do the following:

• Select from the top menu Edit->Spelling and Grammar->Show Spelling and Grammar or press [][:] on your keyboard.

• Then just change the selected language in the drop down menu to “multilingual”.
