1955-2011

1955-2011

“The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve’s success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented,” US President Barack Obama said in a statement. “Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered …

So I wanted to downgrade to Snow Leopard

If you read the post prior to this one, you might have gotten on to the hint that I wasn’t necessarily impressed with Lion. Primarily for the reason that I feel like I’m operating a super-sized iPad with a keyboard attached, and making a clusterfuck within a clusterfuck. (-> Mission Control). Since I purchased it …

So I just upgraded to OS X Lion

Launch Pad

After a bit of waiting for the initial rush of App Store rushes to be over, today I finally got around to have a look at Apple’s latest and greatest. It’s only EUR 24.99, so I thought I cannot do much wrong with that (considering that the Snow Leopard upgrade was already 29 Euro). Well, …

This is one of those iPhone clones, I believe this one is called “hiPhone”. Essentially it looks like an iPhone 4, only with a slightly smaller screen. It has single-touch. However, it is cool that you can put in two SIM cards, and expand the memory as needed with Micro SD cards. One thing I …

Hackintosh, SE51 Issue

So if you’re thinking of getting a Mac without actually getting a Mac, here are the specs of the machine that run OS X Snow nearly 100% out of the box. – Asus P5QC Motherboard – 3GHz Intel Core i5 – 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM (you might be able to use more if Snow decides …

Some Mac apps I recommend

Now that I am back to the Mac world (which I should never really have left, in retrospect), I’d like to point out some tools that you may or may not know about. Some of those are pretty incredible. One has a price tag – it is worth it’s money for sure. So here are …
