One of the new things Steve Jobs presented at yesterdays ‘Back to the Mac’ event was that FaceTime will come to the OS X, making it possible to call an iPhone from your Mac and vice versa. A beta version is already available and I just tried it out. It worked flawless for me even though it’s just a beta. I tried it with my MacBook and an iPhone on the same WiFi so it’s a bit too early to evaluate it, but I like the idea!

I’ve been fiddling around with a new Canon MP550 multifunction printer for a few hours and printing works perfectly but it refuses to scan anything.

Scanner driver will be closed. 2.1.0.’ – anyone experiencing the same problem?
