8GB not enough? Want 50GB?
October 15th, 2011
Dropbox is one of my favorite tools to manage shared stuff – and I was happy with 8GB for free… 2GB with the Basic Account type and 6GB when promoting dropbox to friends. Currently I own 5.25GB there.
But these days there came BOX.NET to my recognition – they through 50GB to you for free!
How to get it? Really easy going – just download and install the iOS App here and create a free account within the next 48 days.

MacBook Pro Battery fun
October 6th, 2011
Since a couple of months I was now struggling around with my MBP Battery – sometimes it showed me to get it serviced. Mostly after re-calibrating it then showed up ok… but now since two weeks I saw it dramatically underperforming. So after 1 1/2 hour it now went to sleep – the battery indicator showed up 40% left.
So after all I decided now to get a new one – and found it at amazon for only 49€. Nice price and immediately purchased
Today I’ll got it and now i’m charging the new one. Currently it shows 94% capacity and 8 full charging-laps… let’s see how the new battery performs over the next view days. Hopefully better than the old one…
BTW: a battery (copy, not original) for my old Vaio showed up more expensive than the Apple one (a original one) – more than twice the price as for the Apple battery.

MacOS X ‘Lion’ and the Magic Mouse
July 21st, 2011
The new release of MacOS X is now the second day on the 15″ MacBook Pro and it fits perfectly
There was only one problem with the new GUI and I couldn’t find much in the web about it – so I had to find my way through by playing around. Let me explain what happened:
Opening a App like e.g. Safari in Fullscreen Mode hides the menu bar and the dock (which I normally always hide – also not in fullscreen mode). It was explained that the user has to move the cursor on the top of the screen to unhide the menubar and to move the cursor on the bottom of the screen to unhide the dock.
Yesterday I had no problem with unhiding the menubar – but today it didn’t work. I tried to fix the problem by deactivating the extensions I had installed for Safari – but this couldn’t be the problem because the menubar wasn’t available also in iTunes, iMovie and so on…
Suddenly today it worked again – I don’t really know why. But what me made curious was the hidden dock – this one still didn’t show up… only sometimes and I couldn’t pin down when.
After playing around I found out that the dock is shown when using the trackpad on the MBP itself by swiping down (cursor moves down to the bottom of the screen) and then again swiping down – just with ONE finger on the trackpad.
But I couldn’t get it to work with the Magic Mouse… till now 
The thing is swiping down with one finger is not the similar on the Magic Mouse than on the trackpad – with the Magic Mouse you have to lift off the whole mouse from the ground and move it then again from top to down… simple – but not the first thought when trying.at
