And now, this is what Dell has come up with:
Dell Dock Puts a Little Mac OS X Into Vista Studio Laptops:

Return of the ’70s Weirdos

Monday, June 23rd, 2008, by moose

Newsweek.com:

“looking [...]

Kudos to Apple’s Customer Support

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008, by moose

So I went on a business trip for a week and I noticed on my way back that the soft plastic sheath of the magsafe cable on my MacBook Pro’s power brick was desolidarising itself from the brick.
The metal wires you (barely) see on the picture are not the live wires, but rather the shielding [...]

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008, by moose

So here we are with a new iPhone killer… wait, the killer is late, its target is already dead! Samsung’s Instinct was supposed to go snipe the iPhone, but Apple already sent it to rest, and now iPhone 2 is coming…
Walt Mossberg on Samsung’s Instinct:
Also, the timing of the Instinct is unfortunate. It was designed [...]

…and I caught up on the news… my take? Forget about iPhone 3G, forget about GPS support and the AppStore…
THE big thing? MobileMe.
This is THE MOBILE COMPUTING dream everybody has been prophesying for years… the famous CLOUD [...]

Thursday, May 29th, 2008, by moose

So I have a 500GB Time Capsule stuck somewhere in the house, to which all the Macs are backed up by Time Machine. Well, actually, my work MacBook Pro gets backed up on the TC’s internal hard drive, while all the other Macs (that’s one G5 iMac, a G4 iBook and a core2duo MacBook) are [...]

Thursday, May 29th, 2008, by moose

In previous versions of OSX, if you had Aperture open while a backup started, Time Machine would skip the Aperture Library until you closed Aperture. Then, the next backup would do a complete copy [...]

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008, by moose

About the Mac OS X 10.5.3 Update:
Addresses compatibility issues with Aperture 2.
If it indeed fixes the problem where Time Machine would do a complete backup of your Aperture Library if you had Aperture open the last time Time Machine backed-up your system, then I’d be happy… this was really a pain… too bad Apple isn’t [...]
