Contributor and TTL columnist, Devir Kahan’s review of the SpyCam Lighter from ThinkGeek.

Print Magic from Welalla is a very cool iPhone app that allows you to print directly from your iPhone. You can print almost any content via copy and paste or screen capture. Webpages are a snap to print, you copy the URL from your safari address bar, then open Print Magic and it does the rest.

The program is able to automatically detect local printers within your wifi network; even printers attached to computers. The IP based Minolta printer in our office worked with no setup, but my networked Brother Printer at home required about 15 minutes of configuring. After a few test pages it now works perfectly.

This is a really handy app for any one on the go without a laptop. The ability to print emails, airline tickets, letters, photos, and webpages directly from your phone truely empowers the concept of a pocket computer. An iPhone user now has the ability to walk into any Kinkos, office or home and print without a laptop in hand.

You can purchase Print Magic in the iTunes app store for $6.99

But before you buy, I suggest that you download Print Magic Test to make sure your printer is compatible.

*FTC Note: This was not a paid endorsement, but Welalla did provide the software free of charge to The Tech Lunch.

Devir’s thoughts on Google Buzz and if it will succeed…

Contributor Devir talks about why he is giving up on Apple’s iPod headphones and taking on JVC’s Marshmallow headphones.

On Saturday February 20th and 21st The Tech Lunch will be in attendance at WordCamp Miami and BarCamp Miami.

Most tutorials give the impression that upgrading the hard drive on your Macbook Pro is an accident waiting to happen. Leaving the end user questioning if it is worth the risk of damaging their laptop.

I totally disagree… Unlike replacing the hard drive in a Macbook, the Macbook Pro requires you take the entire system apart, but it was easy! I did it in 1,2,3.

1. Take all of the exposed screws out.
2. Gently lift up the top panel where your keyboard is located, and rest it at a 90 degree angle on the screen.
3. Unplug your old hard drive.

To perform the upgrade you will need two screw drivers: a small philips and a T6. If you don’t have a T6, most hardware stores carry them.

If you are upgrading your drive and don’t want to hassle with reinstalling all of your software, I recomend backing up and restoring your system using Time Machine. After backing up, just pop in your Snow Leopard disc and go to restore in the utilities menu.
