Air Display

Today I bought Air Display for my iPad, I do not have much to say except that I wasted $9.99! The app works but it is not a great experience. It feels very buggy and sluggish, especially moving the mouse around on my iMac and trying to figure out where the mouse cursor is when it scrolls over to the iPad. This is not a review and I am not bashing Air Display, I am just stating that I am not impressed with it.



If you don't want to take my word for it and want to try it for yourself, you can download it here:

Ripping DVDs to your iPad

Ripping your DVD movies onto your Mac, iPhone or iPad has never been easier. For me Ripit makes this all possible. RipIt is a paid application for your Mac, RipIt cost $24.95 but you can try it first before buying. The trial version will give you 10 DVD rips before deciding to purchase. Take my word for it, no need for the trial go ahead and buy it. I have tried quite a few other DVD ripping applications on the Mac and there are some other great apps but RipIt is the easiest to use. After installing RipIt, it is a 3 step process to rip the movies and get them onto your iPad:

• Insert DVD


• Press Compress button


• Sync video to your iPad
