Apple’s Intel Strategy

Apple announced it’s moving from the PowerPC processor over to the Intel platform. Most feel this is a good decision, some have reservations. Regardless Apple left quite a few unanswered questions that really impact how successful this transition will be, and what the ultimate benefit (if any) there is to the end user. [...]

Camino Nightlies Rock

My mac mini right now is my primary system as my laptop is down with a bad hard drive (and still on backorder). Typically my PC handles my mail and basic web browsing. So I was still using Camino 0.8.4 until just tonight when I leaped into nightlies. I’m posting just to [...]

Apple’s new Mactel’s and UserAgents

Currently UserAgents for the two most popular Mac browsers are as follows:
Safari

Macintosh and Firefox versions are under development and will be available soon.

Plugged in the mini real quick to take it for a test drive. Rather zippy for such a small package. I need to get a [...]

In memoriam, Jef Raskin

I noticed this on Google this evening.
He definitely had an impact on my life, and we never even met. If it wasn’t for the Macintosh, I doubt I’d ever have gotten into computing, never which means looked at IT as a career, and never gotten into hacking Mozilla, and perhaps not even web development. [...]

Interesting show

Interesting show. Not sure I like the iPod Mini’s to much. Seem to childish, yet still pricey. You can get so much more for an extra $50. If your spending that much already. I just can’t see how someone can justify not getting an iPod, and end up with an [...]

1100 Dual 2GHz G5’s

Yummy. Tech Porn. Boy would I like to tap some of that computing power. VT might be the coolest school now that they got a cluster going.
A great quote:

Project started back in February; secret with Dell because of the pricing issues; dealt with vendors individually because bidding wars do not drive the [...]
