Quickest Route and Shortest Distance.

I found a 1st generation iPod nano a few days ago. I contacted Apple to have it replaced. The next day I received a padded envelope with packing and shipping instruction. I handed the package to FedEx shortly after.

Today I saw the tracking information on the package. It was picked up in Costa Mesa, California then shipped to Memphis, Tennessee. The final destination is Elk Grove, California.

The distance from Costa Mesa, California to Memphis, Tennessee is about 1,700 miles by car. The distance from Costa Mesa, California to Elk Grove, California is about 415 miles by car. Go figure.

Yahoo! Axis: View Page As Desktop

One nice feature of Yahoo! Axis is the ability to View Page As Desktop.

In Safari, iCloud.com automatically redirects to an iPad-specific page. Yahoo! Axis can load the desktop version of iCloud.com. That means any of your friends can borrow your iPad to check his/her iCloud email.

Wait a minute…

  • Does anyone use iCloud email?
  • Why is it a good thing to let your friends use your iPad?
