QuickerTek Connect Wireless Antenna!

ByMike Moffit

This week QuickerTek announced their line-up of Connect wireless Antennae. This little baby has lots of potential uses, but its primary job is to add a very high powered antenna to your laptop or desktop computer. Similar to other QuickerTek products, however this one does it all wirelessly – So, no need to disassemble your laptop to install.

In addition the Connect works with multiple computers, so, lets say you had an ad hoc meeting in the far corner of the office, or even outside on a picnic table, everyone at the meeting could enjoy the same strong signal.

Lastly, the Connect also includes an ethernet RJ45 port on it, so that you can connect a machine to the wireless network which has no wireless capability!

The connect is powered either with a battery, an AC Adapter, or via USB.

  • Content Aware Fill in Photoshop CS5

    We recently installed Adobe’s newly released “*Creative Suite 5*”:http://cs5.org/ on a few of our machines. One of the first features I was eager to try out was the new “Content Aware Fill” in Photoshop.

    This new feature allows you to make a quick selection within an image, delete it, and automatically fill in a randomized background based on the surrounding elements within the image.

    After tinkering with the new tool for a bit, I found that it worked best with natural organic images, such as the landscape scene featured in the video below. While it does not always do a perfect job, you can reselect pieces of the image after filling, and refill them to make the image more realistic.

    While this tool is not useful 100% of the time, when the situation and image permits, it can save a ton of time!
