Apple will support Windows 7 in Boot Camp mode that runs on Mac OS X Snow Leopard. “Apple will support Microsoft Windows 7 (Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate) with Boot Camp in Mac OS X Snow Leopard before the end of the year. This support will require a software update to Boot Camp,” the company said on its website. Those who have Intel-based Macs that were manufactured in 2006 are out of luck since the company would not support them in this issue. Source: The Register © Technib
Apple has finally launched the new Macs, and as expected, the world is going crazy over comparisons and everything. Apple’s Phil Schiller has been vocal about Microsoft’s Windows 7 not having any negative effects on Apple’s sales whatsoever. In fact, he said that it would actually drive people towards Apple with the complicated upgrading procedure. So are the new Macs up to the challenge? The most interesting of the lot are definitely the new iMacs and the multi-touch mouse. The new Quad-Co
@ Markus7845 ... As far as Macs are concerned, there isn't a "Home/Professional/Ultimate" version of the OS. There is either OS X (along with it's point releases ie: 10.0.0 - 10.6.2+), or OS X Server (also followed with it's own Point Releases). Think of Point Releases as "new versions". So from 10.0 to 10.6 that's six RETAIL versions of the OS. Then comes "Service Packs"... Which are released through software update. Just to clarify, just in case... OS X = OS 10. Going forward any ti

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion , Software , Internet Tools I've got a basement full of Macs in various states of repair, which shouldn't surprise you. One of my hobbies is re-purposing those old machines. For instance, there's a G3 All-In-One on my workbench which runs iFixIt.com when I've got a project. Additionally, I use a G4 iMac as a Daylite server . I've also had a G5 iMac for a while, but nothing for it to do. Earlier this week, I gave it a fresh install of Mac OS 10.4 and tho
yuna49 writes ‘Lately I’ve been visiting colleges with my daughter, who is a senior in high school. Every school has proudly announced that they support both Windows and Macs, and most of these schools report having about a 50-50 split between the two. However we’ve been a Linux household for many years now, and my daughter routinely uses a laptop running Kubuntu 9.04. Sometimes I would ask the student tour guide if Linux was supported and was usually met with a blank stare. We’re obviously not
While looking though my photo library from years gone by, I chanced upon this photo. Taken sometime between my first and second year in Japan. I got the powerbook before I came to Japan. Prior to Japan, I was quite the PC expert. I jumped ship because I wanted to try something new. New country, new experiences, new personal computer. If there was ever a Apple cult, I had my calling then. The 12in Powerbook was my very first Apple. The big black panther reigned supreme then. Exposé really

For years, the Mac vs. PC debate has been fuelled mostly by subjective ranting; the platforms and the components were so different that it was impossible to compare fundamental characteristics such as performance. Macs have been on Intel processors for some time now though, making analysing Mac versus PC hardware a bit more like compar
Saturday, August 29th, 2009 by Steven 0 Add a CommentFiled under: Wireless, Snow LeopardIt’s been a stealth feature of modern Macs for years: the ability of a sleeping machine to respond to a ‘magic packet’ delivered over Ethernet and wake up on command, either triggered by a specialized app or by Apple Remote Desktop. Handy, especially for administrators who might need to access remote and sleeping workstations, but as the world has moved more toward wireless networking the Wake-On-LAN c
From Instapundit : WELL, MAYBE I’LL WAIT A BIT: I mentioned Snow Leopard’s [Mac OS 10.6] malware protection earlier, but this says it only scans for two trojans. [bold added] Why would Apple bother to create a system that only scans for two pieces of malware ? Well, firstly, the system is designed to automatically update using Mac OS X’s software update feature. More malware definitions can be added in the future. Secondly, there are really only two pieces of active Mac OS X malwar
