As luck would have it, no less than two minutes after I post the Best Buy article below… then what do I find in my inbox? Why the Circuit City Black Friday ad scans. Of course, download link at the bottom. There are much better deals here, thanks to the reward of mail-in rebates (and […]
As usual, all the Black Friday ads have leaked onto the web from various sources, and others have leaked the Best Buy ad. You can download it at the bottom of this article… Best Buy for years has been known for people camping outside their stores, just like all the other retailers. The main reason […]
Paul Thurrott’s review of Windows Home Server ends on a very similar note to my previous WIndows Home Server article. Windows Home Server OEMs would benefit from integrating a wireless router into the box, easing configuration and reducing the number of boxes and cables to add a home server to your network. In fact, the […]
A hack has leaked onto the web via BitTorrent circles that opens back up lost Time Machine support. It’s a basic AppleScript that, when executed, enables full networking support for Time Machine. That means that you’ll be able to Time Machine backup to AirPort disks, Windows Shares, as well as Windows Home Server. Bear in […]
In the vein of AutoPatcher, I will be posting shortly a list of every Mac OS software update that will bring each generation of Mac OS to the most current possible. This will let you head on over to Apple’s site, and roll-your-own flash drive that has every Mac OS update out there. Why would […]
Apple’s support articles are being posted at a quick pace thanks to the Leopard release. For those of you used to the old Apple Firewall, and are frustrated by the new firewall (I know I’ve expressed my dismay)… Apple has a guide for you to get started. It’s pretty basic, just like the firewall itself. […]
Mac OS X Leopard is quietly eating about 1 GB of disk space that it just doesn’t need to. As with all releases of Apple software, Apple bundles language files with their software and operating systems. These files are needless for about 99% of users. They don’t affect your ability to type in other languages. […]
Leopard to PowerBook 12-inch: Burn! Yes, that’s right, 12-inch PowerBook owners have been dissed by Leopard. Later-generation 12-inch PowerBook G4s came with GeForce FX 5200 Go graphics. Now, that meets the Core Image requirements… which is important in Leopard, as the translucent menu bar is driven by Core Image. But, for some reason, 12-inch PowerBook […]
I’ll admit it, I don’t use my iPhone as a phone. I use it as a PDA, a data device, as everything but chatting on the phone. I use it on GoPhone Pick Your Plan and plan to cash out my unused airtime after a year. It’s a data device, and after that little trick… […]
A British hard drive recovery company believes they’ve found a defect in Seagate 2.5-inch SATA drives shipped in MacBooks. The drives are not specific to Apple, but because Apple is one of the primary companies that ordered the drive, it appears to be hitting Apple systems the most. The drives all shipped with firmware version […]
