MacBook Air

As I use a MacBook Air as my primary (only) computer I have one problem compared to all the other laptops I have had - I have so far been unable to carry a extra battery in my rucksack.

But now there may be something :

External Battery for MacBook Air

QuickerTek's MacBook Air External Battery powers and charges the internal battery while in use. You get 12 to 16 total hours of battery life - that's 6 to 10 extra hours of battery power.

You know the QuickerTek External Battery is working because the battery charge percentage in the menu bar stays at 100% for hours, before the internal battery is used.

While the stock Apple MacBook Air recharges in four hours using the supplied QuickerTek AC (120V) wall adapter, the QuickerTek External Battery Charger recharges in only three hours.

A strange one for me - but I actually use the old version of this speaker, and it lives at the bottom of my rucksack.

Why?

Well - I do give a few presentations powered by my MacBook Air - but much as I love it the internal speaker is not terribly good, so if more than 3 people need to listen in on a Skype conference call or a presentation I actually use this speaker, and surprisingly enough it produces loud enough sound to be adequate for a conference room with 40 people.

For a period of time Bonjour has stopped working on my laptop - but it did not become a problem until I needed to add a new printer. So I hunted around for a fix - and found this :

sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist

sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist

which seems to have fixed it for me.
