How To Access The GUI on my Cox Motorola Modem

To access your surfboard cable modem open your web browser and use the IP address of 192.168.100.1. If your router has the same IP address you will have to change your LAN scope to something different such as 192.168.1.1. Once that is done, you should be able to type 100.1 into your browser and it will bring up the Motorola Surfboard modem GUI.

"Bluetooth Not Available" on MacBook Pro Retina w/ Mac OS X Mountain Lion

Today I started my MacBook and my Apple Mouse did not work. When I clicked on the Bluetooth Icon it produced the following message: "Bluetooth Not Available" (MacBook Pro Retina w/ Mac OS X Mountain Lion).

I read that resetting the system management controller (SMC) might work - and it did! For my Intel-based Macbook the directions are as follows:

Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.

1. Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
2. On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
3. Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
4. Press the power button to turn on the computer.

Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Canon EOS T2i / 550D Error "Movie recording has been stopped automatically"

Lately my Canon T2i in Movie mode has been stopping after 3 or 4 seconds with the error  "movie recording has been stopped automatically." If I stop or start it a few more times, it usually starts working.

I have read the reformatting the SD card in the camera itself will resolve the error, and so far it has for me. It is a Sandisk card that I have been using for over a year.

Also it is important to make sure that you are using an SD Class 10 Card or better.

BBDO uses vibrating windows to transmit ads directly into your head! WTF?

That's right, you passed out on the light rail ride home across town and you wake up and cant wait to go buy a pair of new Calvin Klein boxer shorts. Why in the world would I want to do that at 2AM? Why because while your head was lying against the windows you were hearing ads courtesy of the mega ad company BBDO. Their new product transfers high-frequency vibrations to the windowpane, which a person can hear through bone conduction by simply lying their head against the glass.

 "BBDO also said this technology could be used beyond advertising: e.g. music, entertainment, transport information, weather, etc. The same sound transmission technology has been used in some headphones and hearing aids."
