OS X

Finally, some relief from that nasty guest account bug is here. For many OS X users, this did not come a day too early. Other fixes include Spotlight not showing exchange contacts, four finger swipe gesture, VPN headaches among other items of interest that were fixed.
In my mind, I see this OS X update acting [...]

The idea that Mac users would utilize Parallels to move themselves off of Windows is unlikely at best. Don’t get me wrong, the Mac user is clearly going to prefer their desktop to that of a Windows one.
Despite this, in order to use products like Parallels translates into needing a copy of Windows. All virtualization [...]

Despite the fact that we are still very much in a troubled economy, ripe with job loss, Apple is seeing Mac sales doing quite well everything considered. And to that end, computer sales overall, appear to have recovered greatly despite the continued economic troubles felt by other industries.
With the upcoming release of the Windows 7 [...]

Wow, according to this article is looks like Apple is finally looking into the data loss (or misplacement) issue that the Internet has been abuzz about lately. This is a good thing. It’s actually rather sad, as it does seem like Snow Leopard was filled with entirely too much yellow snow in its initial release. [...]

These are trying times, no question about it. So I can understand where Apple is coming from in raising the cost to purchase OS X for educational licensing. Again, things just cost more these days.
Sadly though, is the fact that this is likely to come at the worst possible time for many students already too [...]

I have already purchased my wife’s Snow Leopard upgrade CD. I expect it to arrive any day now. And yet after reading about the latest release from this article, I am finding myself wondering what most of the fuss is about?
Now it is a fact that having some extra hard drive space feed up is [...]

Seems like only yesterday that schools had Apple II computers standard. Not for each child, rather a few computers to a class, as they were obviously quite pricey. Well it looks like some states are flush enough with funds that it’s going to be Macbooks all around!
Despite the expense of providing this many notebook computers [...]

It’s almost like something outside of Minority Report: OS X with facial tracking functionality! What will be really interesting is to see if we are looking at an OS X with the iSight camera being able to detect moods, not just facial expressions or movement.
Imagine your Mac having the ability to greet you with some [...]

Wait, I thought that Apple had branded itself as a hardware company? You know, a hardware company that happened to also deal in software? It seems that this fact is changing right before our very eyes. These days, Apple is fast becoming an App Store in both a literal and virtual sense.
With a reduction in [...]

Over the years, there has been a lot of tremendous speculation as to what would have caused Apple to dump the PowerPC architecture in favor for that of what Intel had to offer. After all, it was not all that long ago when Apple users made fun of Intel due to its support for the [...]

OS X for less than $50 - surely this must be a type, right? Not at all, actually this is the strategy Apple is taking to get Microsoft’s attention apparently. And considering that OS X is merely the layer of frosting on the Mac cake, so to speak, I guess in many ways this makes [...]

To this day, there remains a lot of speculation as to what will be included with the much anticipated release of Snow Leopard. But despite most of the reviews out there of expected improvements, I felt that this overview of upcoming changes touched on the more subtle side of things.
Doing away with premium QuickTime Pro, [...]

Today I learned that Apple is or at least, was hiring experienced users to work the help desks from the comfort of their homes. Speaking as a guy who is fortunate enough to remain gainfully employed working at home himself, this is a great opportunity for those who eat, sleep and breathe OS X.
What is [...]

The idea of laptop hunters from the Microsoft being a real threat to Apple is highly unlikely. Yes, it is true that those people who would never in a million years spend a grand on a notebook will find themselves agreeing with the same group that they’ve always fallen into. The Microsoft camp.
But those people [...]

It’s like ATI sucks no matter what these days. Trying not to point directly to AMD here, but having 3D effects broken can prove to be a real bummer no matter how you slice it. To make matters worse, it is an OS X update that is creating grief for VMware users.
It seems that OS [...]

If you happen to be the owner of a MSI “hackintoshes,” then you are going to love the latest OS X updates! It seems that Apple has done the hackintosh community a service by helping to extend the battery life for select models of notebook computers.
What is surprising is that while this was clearly supposed [...]

Psystar is, at its core, taking some pretty big gambles with its efforts to sell OS X on PCs rather than opting to see about becoming an Apple reseller instead. Psystar also has quite the history in the realm of lawsuits and other legal adventures.
But what would happen if Psystar opts to release a netbook [...]

Over the past couple of years, something that I have found interesting is that many Mac owners are finding the need to upgrade with much lesser frequency than Windows users. No, I am deadly serious and after living with a Mac in my own home that my wife “lives on”, I think am coming to [...]

Unlike the Tweetie Bird from the cartoons, this Tweetie is a communication tool designed to allow Twitter users the option of twittering along with friends right off of their OS X desktop. Unlike other Twitter apps using stuff like Adobe Air, the application generally runs much smoother than the alternatives.
The UI is quite pleasant to [...]
