With HP wireless printers, you could have printed this from any room in the house. Live wirelessly. Print wirelessly.
Maintain on Wednesday announced the release of Cocktail 4.1.3 (Leopard Edition), an update to their utility software. It's a free update for registered users; Cocktail costs US$14.95 (a trial version is available).
Cocktail puts a graphical user interface on many of Mac OS X's advanced Unix functions that are otherwise accessible only by using the Terminal application and a command line interface. It combines maintenance tools and interface tweaks broken out into five basic categories.
New to this release is compatibility with Mac OS X 10.5.4, a bug fix in which Firefox 3 bookmarks were reverted to an outdated version during clearing of Internet caches, a fix for a problem that could cause Cocktail to stop responding during clearing of the user caches, and a fix for the uninstaller related to resetting UDP settings to their default value.
Maintain recommends the update for all registered Cocktail (Leopard Edition) users.
