As we’ve mentioned, AirPrint Activator is a free way to print from an iPhone/iPad to any Mac-connected printer (even a PDF if you follow our instructions). Now a complete re-write was done in version 3 of AirPrint Activator was just finished to make it compatible with iOS6 and Mountain Lion 10.8.
It works great and is still free.
The best solution for Windows users continues to be FingerPrint 2 for $20.
The Verge has a preview of the final version of Windows RT which will run on the ARM-based tablets that will be priced to compete with the iPad.
Microsoft is betting big on this, but you can still see the rough edges. Small touch targets and traditional mouse-optimized apps on a touch tablet are terrible when everyone is familiar with the easy-to-use iPad. Microsoft is trying to have it both ways, leveraging existing apps while building new apps at the same time. But if users need to spend any time in desktop mode, they’ll be disappointed. And it’s not powerful enough to please traditional desktop users. Hopefully this is just a short-term transition phase which will be remedied soon by lots of native touch-optimized apps.
This is a great site that catalogs all the Mac OS X secret settings that you can change if you’re daring. You can make the changes manually through the terminal or by downloading the PrefPane app from here:

I’ve played with lots of iPad stands and the Satechi R1 Stand
made2dock makes some pretty good docks for the iPhone 4/S called dock-IN-case. There are these two models (Original and Slant) and a desk model that fits neatly in the cable hole in your desk. All models are heavy and well made. The Original is a bit heavier making it easier to pull out of the dock with one hand.
What really sets this dock apart are the sizing options to fit many different sized cases and bumpers.
