Leopard as NFS Server
It's way way easy to make your mac running Leopard into a NFS Server. Check your firewall settings.
iPhone Gmail Fail
If your iPhone won't connect to Gmail when you first try and set it up, use this link http://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha to resolve the issue. Found the pointer over at the Apple Forums.
MacBook Pro – new trackpad
Just used the new MBP for about 4 hours. The new new 'all one big button' trackpad is really annoying. I had my thumb down at the bottom of the 'pad trying to click a button that just isn't there anymore. Having to remember to click the entire pad is just really.... weird. Too weird. Other than that, the machine is amazing. Incredibly fast and quick, and the screen is very, very nice.
iPhone OTA Sync to Gmail/Plaxo
My wife just purchased an iPhone 3G, but she still uses Windows XP (I can't get her to give up that ThinkPad). I've never experienced iTunes/iPhone syncing on Windows so I was curious to see what was going to happen when she plugged it in to her laptop. If she used a Mac I'd have her start to use Address Book and iCal, but what happens with an iPhone user on the PC? I know she really wanted to sync photos, but again, she uses Picassa- there is no iPhoto for XP. It turns out most of her actual PIM data is now on Gmail.
Out of the box, iTunes seems pretty smart. It will sync photos using just the photos it finds in the "My Pictures." Nice. For Contacts and Calendar, it wants to use Outlook (if you have it installed). It will allow you to choose Gmail for contacts, but not for calendar.
Looking for a solution for the calendar, I came across just the thing. A free service that lets you use the OTA Exchange push syncing, but it links to your Gmail or Plaxo account. The company that is doing this is Nuevasync. The service got some good call-outs over at PainintheTech.
