The iPhone, made of electronics & zirconia

2.12.06


A patent application made public yesterday showed Apple has been developing a new casing for a wireless device that can operate as an iPod and a cellphone — so the iPhone. The application, filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in August, refers to a “radio-transparent handheld computing device” cellphone and media player combination.

It tells some possible eventual aspects of the iPhone. - The device shows “enclosure that surrounds and protects the internal operational components of the portable computing device, the enclosure including a structural wall formed from a ceramic material that permits wireless communications therethrough.” - The envelope might be made in zirconia, a ceramic that can transmit radio frequency signals.

In the same time, Piper Jaffray Co.’s Gene Munster and Benjamin Reitzes of UBS AG, reiterate the rumor that Steve Jobs may introduce an iPod merged with a phone at the company’s MacWorld conference in January.

Burning Multiple Times to the Same CD

1.12.06



Generally, when you burn files to a CD once, you’re done — you can’t burn to that CD again. Unless you use this little trick: First create a new folder and give it a descriptive name (something like “burn baby burn!” Kidding). Now put the files you want to burn into that folder, then go to the Applications folder and open the Utilities folder. Double-click on Disk Utility. When it comes up, go under the File menu, under New, and choose Disk Image from Folder, and then when the Open dialog appears, find that folder with the stuff you want to burn and click the image button. A Save dialog appears in which you can leave the name as is or choose a new name (leave the other controls alone), and then click Save. In a few moments, a disk image of your folder’s contents will appear in the list on the left side of the Disk Utility dialog. Click on that icon, and then click the burn button at the top left of the Disk Utility dialog.

When you click the Burn button, a dialog will appear asking to insert a disc. Do so, and then click once the blue downward-facing triangle on the right side of this dialog to show more options. Click on the checkbox for Leave disc appendable, then click the Burn button. Your data will now be written to that CD. To add more files later, just insert that same CD and then you’ll use this same process all over again, but when you get to that final burn dialog, the button won’t say “Burn” this time, instead it will say “Append” because you’re adding these files to the same disc. By the way, don’t forget to remove the files you already burned to this disc from your “burn baby burn!” folder (and the DMG file it creates) before you make your next disc image.
