With iOS 5, you no longer need a computer to own an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Activate and set up your device wirelessly, right out of the box. Download free iOS software updates directly on your device. Do more with your apps like editing your photos or adding new email folders on your device, without the need for a Mac or PC. And back up and restore your device automatically using iCloud.

Synergy is simple program that does the task of allow you to use one mouse and one keyboard on multiple computers. It also allows you to transfer copy and paste data over too. So if in screen 1 you copy the text “Testing” when you paste in screen 2 it will paste “Testing”. By simply going off the screen it will move your mouse to the next computer there is no need to press any buttons unlike KVM. It is also going to support other draging and dropping features soon such as file drag and dropping. Curently the only problem I have is sometimes on windows 7 when the UAC screen pops up the mouse sometimes stops working.Also it only allows computers around it to be connect sort of. Basiclly what I mean is one computer is 5ft off the ground and the other one is 2ft and to the left there is no way to only have the bottom left corner move your mouse onto the other screen.All in all it is a good program to have handy if you have alot of computers.
