MacBook Speakers Won’t Work

In the last couple weeks I’ve seen about 5 MacBooks all from clients reporting that their speakers are not working, but when they plug in external speakers, or headphones the volume starts working.

The fix that I’ve found is to take a paperclip and poke around inside the headphone jack until it starts working again.

Keep in mind that any damage you do to your computer this way won’t be covered under your warranty. I won’t be held responsible for any damage you do.

Ads in your Podcast

A company named Podvertiser claims to have found a way to seamlessly insert contextual ads into podcasts.

From their website:

Podvertiser uses patent-pending unique technology to insert content-sensitive, geo-targeted ads into all sorts of digital media seamlessly on the fly.

We’ll see how well this will catch on. If it truly is contextual in the Google Adsense kinda way they will be millionaires in a matter of months.

AirClick remote ships, for dock connector iPods

Brandon — Sat, 17 Dec 2005 05:56:42 +0000

Griffin Technology on Friday announced that it is shipping its AirClick remote for most iPods with dock connectors. The AirClick was previously released for iPods with remote ports next to their headphone jacks. The AirClick costs $39.99.

The AirClick base connects to the bottom of iPod photos, iPod U2 Special Editions, fourth- and fifth-generation iPods through the dock connector. It uses Radio Frequency (RF) technology to communicate with a tiny remote control, which enables users to skip to next track, play previous track, play/pause and volume up/down â€” it can also control video playback, for fifth-generation iPods. The remote also includes a hold switch to prevent you from accidentally activating it.

A remote cradle and straps are included, for attaching the remote to an automobile steering wheel, bicycle handlebars or elsewhere.
