Everybody, we have swithced the site, it is now just fathomfruit.com. Honestly, stop going to this, there are more posts on the updated site, and a better interface. Also, Ad’s! If this site continues to out do the new one both will lose funding, and die, miserably. Save the site, type less in the URL bar. Remember, fathomfruit.com, fathomfruit.com, fathomfruit.com. Thank you again.

We’ve all seen those Mosaic photos that make up a picture works of art before, and wondered how you can make one. While here is that solution, MacOSaiX. MacOSaiX allows you to put in search terms (up to 8 ) BEWARE, using this app excessively on a laptop will cause the laptop to get hot!!!! You can download MacOSaiX here
Okay, recently on of the biggest trends between different color MacBook users is switching keys. Many people think its really cool looking, and who are we to disagree? Over at Fathom HQ we decide to switch our keys around, and post some pictures of really cool combinations we have found. I will post a new photo every day to the photo section linked here!
Check everyday for the updated pictures!
Do you ever feel your laptop get really hot? Well… thats not something to brag about. When your computer gets hot, it causes the computer to run harder, and puts a strain on the HD, ram, fans, and most importantly the motherboard/CPU. Not only that, it tends to hurt your legs if it’s sitting on your lap. This problem can be simply solved by ordering Antec’s USB-powered notebook cooler. This thing will keep your computer cool, for an affordable price of $28. Be cool and keep your computer cool.

We have talked about a highly possible june release of a new MacBook along with a MacBook Pro, today, we found some images that put what we here at HQ envisioned on paper. This mockup shows the skinny aspect along with the black keyboard, which would carry the new colors and follow the trend of the MBA. Though not huge changes in physical appearance, but its what’s on the inside that counts. When we think new MacBook Pro, we think a stunning computer loaded with great hardware. Here are some stats we put together:
Standard
Dual 2.6ghz Intel Quad-Core processors
2gb Ram
512mb Nvidia video card
350gb HD
16X dual layer SuperDrive
Options
Dual 3.0ghz Intel Quad-core processors
4gb Ram
1gb Nvidia video card
500gb HD
16X dual layer SuperDrive
Maybe one day when we have some free time will make our own mockup…
Tell us what you think!!!
What is one of the dumbest thing a computer owner can do? Not back up their info. What happens when one day your computer “decides” it doesn’t want to work anymore, or you drop it? You take it in, you get it back finally and ~presto~, your computer works again. You look in PhotoBooth to see that all your pictures are gone and you open Word to see that all your schoolwork is gone. What Now? Well if you had backed your computer up using time machine, or just copying everything onto an external drive, you could just load it back on and be fine. You don’t have a drive? Its all gone, all that hard work has just disappeared. It is one of the simplist things you can do – purchase an external drive.
The SimpleTech SimpleDrive, is a really good, and cost effective drive. This drive is so slick, that the guys over at Maserati designed it. It comes in different sizes for different needs (320gb, 500gb, 750gb, and 1tb). The SimpleDrive is also one of the most cost effective drives on the market. At just $100 dollars for the 320gb it is a must have for any laptop user. The 500gb is $115, and the 750gb is $175, if you have a bunch of computers and think you need it, the 1tb edition is available for $250. These drives are ultra portable, and make backing up your computer easy and fun. SimpleDrive
Franqouis Germain was one of the first to test airline Air France’s new program allowing the use of cellphones mid-flight, from seat 14c, Germain called his assistant in Paris and waited while the signal connected to a satellite in space and then a cell antena on the ground roughly 39,000 feet below. The assistant commented saying that Germain sounded like a small robot. Air France is pushing to start a trend of cellphone use during airline flights.
Many US based airlines are very strictly NO CELLPHONE companies. The reason for this is because many customers have fought to keep airplanes a cell free zone. Many airline companies throughout the world are preparing for launches of in-flight cellphone programs as early as this summer.
What do you think? What would mean more to you, being able to talk to someone or having a really loud person next to you? Let us know. To read more on in flight air phones click here.
Do you ever get the annoying “Sim Card Error” message on your Blackberry, well here is a solution.
1. Remove rear casing
2. Remove battery
3. Look for little metal bracket holding down Sim Card
4. Open the retaining cage and pull the Sim Card out
5. Get a sheet of paper, fold it in half, and cut out a piece of paper the shape of the Sim Card. (This should be 2 pieces of paper thick)
6. Put the Sim Card back in, put the two pieces of paper on top, and lock down the retaining cage
7. Place Battery back in
8. Put rear casing back on
9. Restart phone (May take a while to turn on, the is NORMAL)
