Apple Drops Mac from Mac OS X Lion
Apple has made a subtle late change to the branding for Mac OS X 10.7 “Lion”. If you look at Apple Support Documents, and the Apple product pages, they refer to the product as “OS X Lion“. Not “Mac OS X Lion” or “Mac OS 10.7″, simply “OS X Lion”. Note that this title lacks [...]
Seagate Momentus XT Firmware Update SD28 Released
Seagate has issued a new firmware update for Momentus XT owners, version SD28. If you are a Momentus XT owner (like myself), you can breath a sigh of relief and update immediately… after backing up, of course. This firmware update will hopefully, hopefully tie up some painful loose ends that have stifled the life (thus [...]
iCloud’s Beta: More of the same?
I will start this article by saying that we don’t know everything that will be in iCloud just yet. However, I will say that I am disappointed at the pricing that has emerged on other web sites (here’s just one for example). At double the pricing for Amazon’s Cloud Drive, I can’t say I’ll be [...]
Office 2011: What’s Wrong with This Picture?
Now for me, something like this is pretty simple to work around. But, for someone not like me… this could be a bad start to a new relationship with Microsoft Office. No, the screen grab below has not been edited in any way, nor was it coaxed into fruition. It is what appeared after clicking [...]
The Perfect Office Example for Justifying an SSD
I know. You may be a guy or gal working in an office. Or, you may be a penny-pinching startup CEO like me. But even I justified paying $275 for an Intel X25-M SSD. And, I’ve got the perfect example of why it makes business sense. Sure, 17 second startups are great. But, I am [...]
HP MediaSmart Now Does Time Machine, Well… not all of it. But, I can fix it.
So, you were all happy that the new HP MediaSmart home servers finally gave you a choice other than the anti-trust Time Capsule to do backups remotely… in the home. And, you are now ready to run out and buy one, blindfolds on to any compatibility issues. Sorry, I once again have to burst your [...]
Kega Fusion Comes to Mac
Here’s a Christmas gift I wasn’t expecting… Kega Fusion has been ported to Mac OS X! Kega Fusion is one of the most popular SEGA Genesis + CD + 32X emulators out there, and the developer has just finished porting it as his first Mac app. This really opens up a lot of potential for [...]
Mac Office Update Bug: Lather, Rinse, Repeat
It appears that the latest Microsoft Office 2008 update (12.1.13), has the same bug the last version did. Namely, if you strip the unnecessary foreign language translations (using a tool like Youpi Optimizer, Monolingual, or even Finder)… the updater will complain that there aren’t any viable installations available. And yes, this is a bug. Apple [...]
Google Gears, Mac, and Caching
If you’ve been using Google Gears for Mac, you might have noticed sometimes that the Gears setup for a particular web site… sometimes vanishes. You have to re-enable Gears for each web site which you had approved it for. Why is this? Well, Google is deploying the Gears setup inside of /Users/yourname/Library/Cache (or, ~/Library/Cache as [...]
