There is probably an evil joke here about Apple fanboys and tissues, but I will restrain myself from thinking of it and stick to the facts. There is now an Instructable that teaches people to turn their old Apple G4 Cube into a tissue box – which they can put to an appropriate use the next time Steve Jobs gives a keynote.

Trust me, I get Apple. As a lifetime Windows user I readily concede that they make the best laptops on the planet. The lack of bloat in OSX makes it a damned quick OS. What I don’t get is their unrealistic expectations when it comes to the price-tags on their monitors. Take the new LED Cinema Display. It is a beautiful monitor to be sure, but there are enough buts to put all but the most rabid fanbois off the purchase.

The extra 24-inches will be a welcome addition to folks tired of squinting at their laptop screens and the 1,920 x 1,200-pixel resolution will make for some awesome playback. It looks great, a worthy accompaniment to any unibody MBP, it has a spare set of controls, and according to all accounts is a sweet performer; Wired even went so far as calling it unparalleled.

It acts as a dock for the MBP, with a USB hub and an onboard MagSafe charge port; very convenient and what you would expect from something that is meant to extend Apple’s flagship notebooks.

But then there are the buts, and there are a few of them before you come anywhere near to the price. No DVI or HDMI, it uses mini DisplayPort. On the one hand, that is something that you would kind of expect, but given the size you would think that Apple would have built in a little bit more interoperability. It would be nice to be able to hook it up to a BluRay player or console as I do with my Samsung monitor.

But one deal breaker for me is that it doesn’t play nicely with Windows. Wired reports that it won’t work on an MBP via Boot Camp – something that seems more of a slight than an oversight.

The other deal breaker is the cost. While it might feature an arsenic-free screen backlit with mercury-free LEDs and offer “unparalleled performance” the price is a serious issue here. The fact is that I can get two pretty good 24-inch displays from Samsung or LG for the same amount of money. If it played nicely with my other gadgets I would consider the LED Cinema Display for $600 but not $900. I don’t need all that brightness, I normally turn my monitor brightness down. What I want is interoperability and value for money.

The Eye-Fi card makes it possible for people to wirelessly upload to their own computer, or if they have Internet access either at home or in a hotspot, to the bigger photo sharing sites. Now they have gone one step further and extended the support to FTP and FTPS servers.

What does that mean? It is painfully easy to turn a home computer into an FTP server, with a bit of hacking it is also possible to turn an Apple Time Machine into one; so with not too much work, it should be possible for people to be able to directly upload pictures to their own computers from anywhere.

If you want to set up your Eye-Fi card for FTP usage, follow these instructions.
