Not a how-to A lot has happened in the OSX86 world. From its humble beginnings back in 2006, when it was the playground of the extremely talented few, and OSX installations were wrought with issues, to the “boom” period when large number of “distros” were the call of the day,

The shift was overdue. Although Coda, my dev app of choice, offers everything a hobbyist programmer would need, it fails miserably on one aspect. Namely, code folding. For a long time, this trade-off seemed to still justify the use of this app for day-to-day development needs, in light of its

CHM files are the de-facto distribution standard of e-books in some circles (O’Reilly) etc, and though these can be opened natively on a Windows machine, the same cannot be said for OSX. One of the best (though certainly not the most popular for some reason) app for opening CHM

Apple released Leopard 10.5.8 a few days back. The update went without a hitch on my MacBook Pro. The story on my Hackintosh isn’t so great. The choppy performance issues are back, after having been wiped clean in 10.5.7. Argh. I reinstalled OSX to no

I just got an email from Collectorz.com proclaiming “benefits and features” available to the Windows users of Movie Collector have now been released for the Mac platform in the latest version of this Movie catalog software. One phrase comes to mind – STAY away. The biggest reason?

It has been a few days since this update came out. I wanted to blog this earlier, however, just have been so busy at work, that I haven’t had time for jacques. I downloaded SP2 for Office 2008 as soon as it was announced on MacBU. I didn’t

Week 4, and the iPhone 3GS is chugging away like a champ. Having upgraded from a 1G 4GB iPhone to this beast, I am continually impressed by its speed, features, capabilities and the vast array of possibilities. Initially I resisted the temptation to Jailbreak my iPhone. I figured Jailbreak is

Leaked on the Interwebz last evening, build 7600 x64 is being touted as the Window 7 RTM (Release To Manufacturing and not Read The Man). I was of course eager to try this build out, and a couple of minutes later I took it for a test run on my

I have often wondered where Leopard (OSX) stores the stock Wallpapers available in the Desktop Option in System Preferences. A bit of digging led me to the location. /Volumes/’YourMacHD’/Library/Desktop Pictures/ Where ‘YourMacHD’ is the volume on which OSX is installed. I was rather surprised at first that
