There’s a lot of confusion surrounding Apple’s move from PowerPC CPUs to Intel x86 ones, so in the interests of clarification:
Mac OS X will run on my Dell
No, it won’t.
Somehow Apple will make sure that the operating system that makes the Mac special remains a Mac-only thing - as far as they can, perhaps by [...]
Obviously, the Mac web is in an indescribable daze, and doesn’t know how to react to the announcement that Apple is switching platforms. What if I just say, right now, “Sweet! Windows is gonna die!”
Is it obvious to you now - and made more clear by watching the Keynote video - that Apple is targeting [...]
I’ve just got to vent a little bit here. The ‘Intel Announcement’ has Mac loyalists, analysts, bloggers, etc, etc, all in a tizzy - and why exactly?? Let’s take a look at what this means on a basic level…
I understand there will be growing pains. Wait a year for the new hardware [...]
Steve Jobs, known for his suprises, dropped the Mother of All Surprises at the WWDC Keynote this morning: Macs will be running on Intel processors by WWDC 2007. In fact, he had a few running on Intel machines this morning for his demos, with more showing up in the Mac OS X State of the [...]
So Apple are moving to Intel x86 chips.
I’m still rather reeling from the news. Being generally of a more cynical bent, I was inclined to go along with John Gruber’s various debunkings of the hype that so often precedes a WWDC. Shurely shome mishtake, I thought.
Evidently not. Unless Steve is just trying to see just [...]
On the heels of confirmed rumors about Apple looking to Intel to power its future systems, Om Malik just posted a thought-provoking article on what could be Apple’s next moves, potential implications for Microsoft and the rest of the industry, all put in perspective of the deep dark mysteries that shroud Steve Jobs, the master puppeteer pulling the industry’s strategic strings.
There isn’t a lick of Apple info in this post…nothing but good times here. I came across Gizoggle today and immediately thought of how dope TAB would be if it was all crunked out. So, I decided to take a post that wasn’t so fondly responded to and funk that baby up…ghetto style. Even all [...]
Rumors are flying about 2GB and 4GB Shuffles.
To much of the general public, a computer is an enigmatic box, a semi-magical creation which is simultaneously a portal to a half decent encyclopaedia, countless reams of porn and a lot of free music, a free messaging service and a good way to send long, rambling letters to people you don’t want to see [...]
Apple and Intel sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
Well, sort of.
Right now, if you need your VPN client to work, I’d recommend steering clear of Cisco’s recently-released 10.4 VPN client. When it works, it seems to work fine. When it’s not working, you have to uninstall and reinstall it to get it to work. However, if you’re on 10.4 and you have to use Cisco’s [...]
MC Brown seemed to ignite the wrath of a number of our readers, but I wish to offer the dissenting opinion: yes, Tiger will be very useful. Maybe it’s not so exciting for your average user, but the potential for the future should make them leap off of the wall in joy, like a kid [...]
Tiger is out, but does all the hype match up to reality?
I’m upgrading my 1GHz PowerBook with a faster, bigger, hard drive. It was surprisingly easy, but it’ll take a while for me to determine how much faster it is.
Okay everyone, I want to know what all of the Mac users out there think - drawers or no drawers? Drawers are those panels that slide out of a larger window in some Mac OS 10 apps. For instance, Mail has one in Panther that shows you all of your mailboxes. The trouble was, many [...]
I’m starting my preparations to head to this year’s WWDC and as part of that, I’m working on my list of stuff to jam into the Brenthaven backpack. Since I’m going to be hauling this across the country, as well as through a week’s worth of conference, lightness and utility are the two things I [...]
I haven’t upgraded to Tiger yet. I plan to. But my software and systems are running great right now and I’m being productive. I do lots of different digital things on my Mac to make a living. I don’t focus heavily on any one area so I own a ton of [...]
I received an email from Charles Pazos this past weekend asking how to set up Mail to check your GMail account. Here you go, Charles.
From Google’s help page :

Open Apple Mail.
Click ‘Mail,’ and select ‘Preferences…’
Open the ‘Accounts’ tab, and click the plus sign (+) along the bottom to add a new account.
Enter ‘pop.gmail.com’ [...]
By way of follow up to my earlier post, the news comes that the District Court of Florida has sided with Apple in TigerDirect’s suit against the company for use of the name ‘Tiger’ to market the latest iteration of the Mac OS X operating system. Of particular interest is the following:
Apple also entered into [...]
A couple semesters ago, I took a college Visual Basic class. It wasn’t bad - your typical programming course, and I’ve had my fair share of those. I liked VB.Net, because it was easy, and had a nice, clean object-oriented syntax. Basically, you type stuff to the effect of “window.close”, and these simple statements can [...]
