Goodbye, Steve Jobs.

The world has lost a visionary. The founder, and artist extraordinaire, Steve Jobs breathed his last this evening at ~ 7:30PM EST. He died peacefully, surrounded by family, leaving behind millions of fans, shell-shocked and grieving. He embodied Apple, and transformed it from the failure it was back in ’97,

OS X Lion on Gigabyte P55A-UD4P

Greetings all. OS X 10.7 or Lion is out and available on the Mac App Store (MAS). Like it, love it, or loathe it, it is an evolutionary step in the progression of OSX. While the direction Apple is going in, with the new UI can be debated for

Logitech Quickcam Microphone not working - a solution

Logitech’s Quickcam HD Cameras (particularly Pro 9000 HD) are good choices for the Hackintosh inclined. However, the Mics on these cameras are rather fickle in their relationship with OSX. There are numerous support requests in the Logitech forums from users who bought the non-mac variation of these cams and

TRIM on OSX 10.6.7 is a-go for Corsair F120

I recently upgraded my main OSX HDD to a Corsair F120GB2 SSD. Boasting a Sandforce controller, which in absence of TRIM (or in addition to), performs aggressive Garbage Collection (GC) on the SSD, this particular SSD caught my interest because of the best transfer rates in its class. The Sandforce

Back again after a brief outage

Back last month, a sudden spike in the number of visitors to this site caused the shared hosting server I use (Hostgator) to spiral out of control. This, inevitably caused the provider to block my site. It was, succinctly put, a headache to get the blog back up and running

Reeder for OSX is out

At least in beta, but the best, most minimalist, intuitive RSS reader for iPad and iPhone is now on OSX! Enter Reeder. The developers hit gold with their implementation of a beautiful, three-paned design for iPad, and iPhone. This has now been ported over to OSX. I have been playing

10.6.5 brings ExFAT - makes sharing files between OSX and Windows easier!

EDIT on 02/16/2011 – It works again! 10.6.6. Seems the bug was ironed out on 10.6.6. Thanks all who reported it. I didn’t have the chance to test it out on a Win7 machine (as I was fresh out of one). EDIT on 12/

Best bandwidth monitor for Snow Leopard or Leopard

There has been a lot of debate over the lack of bandwidth monitor apps for OSX. Many will point the clueless reader to iStat Menus, and other such pointless apps, which don’t maintain the amount of data transferred, after a reboot. For Windows there’s the inimitable DuMeter, but

AVCHD Editing on Mac revisited

I recently purchased a Panasonic HDC-SD600 camcorder – featuring full HD 1080p recording options and OIS to boot. While I cannot praise the camera enough, the workflow for editing an AVCHD file on a Mac leaves something to be desired. The fact remains that even after nearly four years of widespread

Starcraft II on Mac, vs Windows - performance

O Starcraft II, the brainchild of Blizzard Entertainment, why doest thou suffer so under Mac OSX? I tried cajoling, I tried upgrades, and I tried updates, all to no avail. Mac fanatics and die-hards at Mac oriented forums will castigate me for this, but it is true, Mac OSX is
