The MacBook will be updated today, depending on the moment, the Apple Store Online may already be listing it. It’s a minor bump spec-wise from first glance, but on the inside… things get much better for the MacBook. The three main changes are: The Santa Rosa platform (800 MHz Front Side Bus), Dual-layer SuperDrive, and […]
Thanks to a few WordPress plug-ins, we’ve done it. We have PhoneNews.com running on WordPress. It took 5 hours to do the job. Oh, did I mention we preserved legacy backlinks as well? No, it isn’t online yet… we have to get the look-and-feel up, and then find a nice 48 hour period where all […]
Let’s review the iMovie HD Way: 1) Take iMovie ’08 2) Replace with iMovie HD 3) Integrate iMovie ’08 features into next version Here’s how Apple can fix the Leopard Firewall: 1) Take Tiger Firewall 2) Release to Leopard Users 3) Slipstream into future builds Leopard’s firewall takes steps back for no good reason… Tiger’s […]
Leopard, by default, enables Secure Virtual Memory. This was done after criticism that Tiger, which also included Secure VM, left it off by default. Some felt that securing virtual memory was necessary to be a modern OS, regardless of computing environment. Now, I’m all for secure computing. But, to be honest, most Macs are in […]
Dell has released a new BIOS for the XPS 410 and Dimension 9200, which they have marked as Urgent (in big bold and red-colored text). BIOS 2.5.2 corrects problems the system was having when in Gigabit Ethernet environments. It’s not clear if this also applies to systems with a 10/100 controller… or what else Dell […]
While I’m sure in the coming hours your feed reader will get submerged in pluggings for the new iPod touch ad (the student-project that hit YouTube and got picked up by Apple), it’s now available in the broadcast-version. Kudos to Apple and ChiatDay for not “touching” the ad. Music: Music Is My Hot, Hot Sex […]
This blog is a bit new, but Google is finally ranking it, and that’s supposed to be good, right? But, here’s the better news, as I announced a few hours ago, PhoneNews.com is switching to WordPress in a couple of months. This site was serving as a bit of a test-type for the potential transition […]
One of the major irkers about iWork ’08 is that it doesn’t allow you to save those great instant-alpha channel images you can whip up in Keynote and Pages. But, here’s the good news, Preview in Leopard has the same Instant Alpha tools… and actually, they’re even improved from what was in iWork ’08. And […]
As rumored, another favorite Leopard feature did indeed get the axe. Leopard Boot Camp does not offer the “Switch to Windows” option that would quickly allow for switching between Mac OS X and Windows. The feature appeared on Apple’s web site, and basically worked by taking advantage of each operating system’s hibernation (safe sleep) modes. […]
No, this isn’t the unofficial Leopard blog… but Leopard is out today and I’m finally free to talk about it fully. A lot of people use cPanel. It’s a great front-end for managing web servers. And, it offers a lot of services quickly and easily. One of the things it offers is email with SSL […]
