free software to access HFS/Mac file systems

For a limited time, Paragon Software is giving free licenses for HFS for Windows:

“HFS for Windows enables the use of Mac-formatted partitions in Windows operating systems…

“…Windows cannot read from and write to HFS+ partitions. This limits the ability to exchange or share files between Windows and Mac OS X file systems…

“Paragon HFS for Windows is designed to provide full (read and write) access to HFS+ partitions. It can be installed on all versions of Windows…”

———————————————

“HFS for Windows, the only software that lets you read Apple iPods, Macs and iPad data from a Windows PC…

“If you have an iPod you may probably know that it contains all your music inside some sly hidden folders. When you attach your iPod (excluding Touch models) to the system it can be seen as a simple Removable Flash Drive…”

Even if you don’t need it now, do consider that having this software might be very helpful in the future…

Stoplight Clock to keep the kids in bed

I have a friend who posted on a social networking service that, as most kids do, his daughter will awaken and get out bed before she should…until he purchased a particular clock.

“…toddlers know their colors and understand that red means stop and green means go…When the red light is on, kids will understand that it is still time to sleep. When the green light turns on, kids will know that it is time to get out of bed. A digital clock and optional beeping alarm function are also included as well as a nightlight feature that can be used separately.”
To keep time constant in the clock due to a power outage, it needs two AA batteries (which are not included).
The clocks are also available from Lillian Vernon, Amazon, and One Step Ahead.

Apple has announced a new operating system…or “update”, if you will…to the iPhone and iPod Touch. It will not work with ALL models of iPhones and the iPod Touch.
