How to connect Logitech Freepulse with iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS

Monday, August 24th, 2009 | Permalink

A year ago, I bought a Logitech Freepulse Wireless Bluetooth Headphone to listen to my music without getting in trouble with cables.
Normally you need the headphones and a little bluetooth box you plug into the audio device. With the iPhone 3G and 3GS, Apple added the A2DP protocol to listen to music using Bluetooth.

There is a way to use your Freepulse without the little box. Just push the ON button on the headphones for 15 seconds. Wait for the light to flash in blue and red. If the light is flashing, you can easily connect to the headphones from your iPhone.

Heartbeat GUI for Mac OS X – no way, sorry!

I really tried it for at least 10 hours. Installing everything needed including all the libs, compilers and whatever. I even hacked the configure files and copied all the libs manually. No WAY!

If someone has a solutions. Please comment!!!

My solution right now is to use X11 and connect to another server. Not the best solutions I would say.

Getting Mac OS X in Standby with Shell Command

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 | Permalink

Sometimes you leave the house and you Mac has to run for a little while, but then you want it in standby.
Here is a easy way to do this with a shell command.
Open a terminal window and type in the following:

sleep 900 && osascript -e 'tell app "Finder" to sleep'

This sets a 900 seconds (15 minutes) waiting time before putting the Mac into the sleep mode.

All this Apple Rumours!

Friday, January 11th, 2008 | Permalink

When I look into blogs these days, I see rumours about the stuff Apple is showing at the Macworld in the next days.
So I decided to post my own rumours.

I think Apple is gonna release Exchange compability to the iPhone. Why? Cause most of the business people are running around with Blackberrys. And what is the key feature here? Reading emails! More detailed, reading business emails, stored on the companys Exchange server. That’s what missing in the iPhone. It’s good for single persons or small companys, but if you like to use it in an Exchange environment, no chance right now.

Apple has, until now, no product that is like Exchange, so that would make sense!?
