OWC/NewerTech Announce Extra High-capacity PowerBook G3 FireWire/Lombard Replacement Battery OWC/NewerTech Announce Extra High-capacity PowerBook G3 FireWire/Lombard Replacement Battery Newer Technology, Inc. (NewerTech) and Other World Computing (OWC) have introduced an extra high-capacity NuPower replacement battery compatible with the PowerBook G3 FireWire (2000/Pismo) and PowerBook G3 Lombard (1999/Bronze Keyboard) models. Utilizing the latest Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) cell technology, this new 6600mAH PowerBook battery provides 37.5 percent more capacity than the Apple stock battery for PowerBook G3 Lombard and FireWire models and is available immediately for $159.95. "With our extra high-capacity NuPower battery, Pismo and Lombard owners can go longer than ever without plugging in," said Larry O'Connor, president of OWC. "If sales of our G4/500MHz processor upgrade for the PowerBook Pismo are an indication, the Pismo is still extremely popular. At some point, you either want an extra battery or need to replace one, and our NewerTech batteries offer the longest battery run times you can get!" The new extra high-capacity battery rounds out the line of additional NuPower replacement batteries for G3 and G4 PowerBooks, including the NuPower 5400mAH battery for Pismo and Lombard models, which is still available at a reduced price of $145.99. "These batteries can be real lifesavers," O'Connor said. "There isn't a notebook computer user alive who hasn't wished for extended battery life at some time. Our replacement batteries give users crucial added time when they are in a crunch or away from a reliable power source."
The full line of NewerTech high capacity batteries, including models for the PowerBook G3 Wallstreet and PowerBook G4 Titanium are available through OWC. For more information or to order, visit:
Boinx iRecordNow 1.0 Turns iSight Into A Digital Camcorder
Boinx iStopMotion 1.0 for Mac OS X is available. The software offers a simple, elegant way to use your iSight to record video. The USD14.95 product is available through Kagi. A one day demo key can be obtained from the website:
"The goal of Boinx iRecordNow is to turn your iSight into a digital camcorder that is as easy to use as a real world camcorder," says Florian Albrecht, Software Designer at Boinx Software, a division of GeBE Computer & Peripherie GmbH of Munich, Germany. "The simple, one button operation that you are used to from your real world digital video camera was the central theme of our vision". In a review, Derrick Story, managing editor of the O'Reilly MacDevCenter, called iRecordNow a "nifty application". "One of the things that impressed me was the quality of the capture", he said in his article on macdevcenter.com Boinx iRecordNow is the second application by Boinx Software, targeted at expanding the uses for your digital hub equipment, in this case especially the Apple iSight. Like Boinx iStopMotion, it aims at bringing fun and excitement into the digital world. Boinx iRecordNow features a simple, one button interface. You press the record button, it starts recording, you press the button again and it stops and creates a clip file on your computer. The format of the clips and the compression can be determined by simply choosing one of several predefined settings. The movie clips can then be imported into iMovie or Final Cut Pro for postproduction. Another key feature of Boinx iRecordNow is the ability to control camera properties such as brightness, saturation and color hue even while recording. In a future version, Boinx Software plans to support the iSight's unique focus control. This opens up the application for artistic purposes. The software also works with lots of other cameras, but the iSight is the only camera Boinx Software fully supports at this time. Boinx iRecordNow sells for USD 14.95 and it is available through Kagi immediately. To purchase a license, go to http://www.irecordnow.com/license A one day demo license can also be obtained from that site. Customers can return and request demo licenses as often as they need until they can decide to purchase a permanent license.

SMC Networks (http://www.smc.com) has announced its newest family of products that make home networking easy and reliable. SMC’s new line of HomePlug-compliant products give users everything they need to set up a brand-new network or extend an existing one without running expensive CAT-5 cabling. The only HomePlug solution on the market with configuration software that runs on Mac OS, SMC’s new HomePlug solution comes with two versions of the EZ Configuration Manager software: one for the Windows OS and one for the Mac OS, making it a great solution for Macintosh-only networks, Windows-only networks and mixed networks. The versatile new product line includes two new HomePlug-compliant adapters: the EZ Connect 14Mbps HomePlug to USB Desktop Adapter and the EZ Connect 14Mbps HomePlug to Ethernet Desktop Adapter; and a new EZ Connect 14Mbps HomePlug Starter Kit, with everything it takes to set up or extend a network using HomePlug technology. SMC’s new family of easy networking HomePlug products will begin shipping in November. A technology for easy, reliable networking, HomePlug lets users make network connections over existing electrical wiring. At 14Mbps, HomePlug provides faster connections than 802.11b wireless—or even standard 10Mbps wired Ethernet— plus, it’s easier to install, configure and troubleshoot, making it ideal for home applications. HomePlug 1.0-certified to ensure compatibility with the various types of wiring used in homes and offices, these new products use auto-sensing, rate-adaptive technology to maintain the best connection available. And, its 14Mbps throughput is complemented by 56-bit Data Encryption Standard (DES) and Dynamic Key Management, so users have speed and security. Ease of installation is further advanced by the product family’s Plug-and-Play compliance and the included EZ Installation Wizard for fine-tuning on Windows and Mac platforms. And, its form factor makes it easier, too—no bulky adapters to find space for, because SMC’s HomePlug networking products are desktop units with internal power supplies. The EZ Connect 14Mbps HomePlug to Ethernet Desktop Adapter (HP1D-ETH) makes extending a network easy—just plug it into an existing Barricade or other standards-compliant Ethernet/Broadband router, plug its power cord into an electrical outlet, and the electrical wiring becomes Ethernet-enabled, so any outlet in the house is an Ethernet connection port for sharing Internet access, files, printers and even home entertainment devices. It is a great way to bring Internet connectivity to a game console, like an Xbox or PS2 for online game playing. The EZ Connect 14Mbps HomePlug to Ethernet Starter Kit (HPKIT-ETH) is the only product that packs everything users need to start a HomePlug network or extend an existing network. Connect one of the included adapters an available LAN port on an SMC Barricade or other Ethernet router, plug it into a power outlet, then plug the other adapter into any Ethernet-capable device to be added to the network, plug it into the wall, and it’s connected to the network. With the flexibility to connect any PC, whether Windows, Mac OS or Linux-based, SMC’s HomePlug Ethernet Starter kit and the HomePlug to Ethernet Desktop adapters truly make network connectivity easy. The third product in the EZ Connect 14Mbps HomePlug family of products is a USB Desktop Adapter (HP1D-USB). The USB Desktop Adapter allows connection of any Windows 98, ME, 2000 or XP device to the HomePlug-enabled network using a USB port, so that even devices that are not Ethernet-ready can connect to the network. Used in conjunction with a HomePlug to Ethernet Adapter attached to a router, the USB Desktop Adapter is the easiest way to connect a laptop in the next room or a PC upstairs. The EZ Connect 14Mbps HomePlug to Ethernet Desktop Adapter and HomePlug USB Adapter will both be available beginning in mid-November, both at an MSRP that’s 20% below the competition, at $79.99 each. The new EZ Connect 14Mbps HomePlug to Ethernet Starter Kit takes value even further, packing two HomePlug Ethernet Desktop Adapters at an MSRP of $149.99.

With its integrated Installer VISE software, netOctopus can create custom installer packages and push out new software, upgrades or patches to managed computers throughout the company network. Powerful remote configuration capabilities allow administrators to change numerous system parameters on managed computers without ever leaving their desks. netOctopus Enterprise Systems Manager is the only full-featured systems management software for both Windows and Macintosh operating systems. netOctopus Enterprise Systems Manager 5.0 is available online at http://www.netoctopus.com, and will be shipping on CDs in November.
