Note: This posting has a bunch of links to sites trying to sell you shit. I’m not trying to advertise anything, but just to show the sort of prices floating around. If the notion of linking to a shop’s website is offensive to you, go and fuck right off then you may wish to skip […]

Preface: Just so you know, this article has an intentionally sensationalist title. I don’t pretend to know what Steve Jobs cares or doesn’t care about, and it’s really not the point of this blog posting. It’s really about the state of Apple support in Australia, or rather - the support you get, when attempting to […]

Seems to be a favourite topic of mine these days, but Chris Pirillo made the rounds in the intarweb e-blogging circlejerk crowd lately, over his somewhat padded (and overly sponsored) 50 Reasons to switch to OS X. This, of course, lead to the kneejerk reaction from some Windows fanboy to dispute his statements with even […]

Update: Okay, looks like 10.5.2 now allows you to setup AirDisks for Time Machine again, so my bitch about Time Capsule is a moot point. Now I just have to stop myself from getting that RAID enclosure…Hay guys, y’know that thing about 10.5.2 fixing AirDisks for use with Time Machine? Well, it was all a […]

Hey guys, y’know that review I was planning to write for Dennou Coil this week?
Well.. something has kinda come up in the meantime, and I’m going to be a bit distracted by it, so you’ll need to wait a little longer. What came up, you ask? Well.. it’s this.

Go check out the hardware page for […]

I think you can pretty much guess what the crux of this is going to be about, but as I love words so very, very much, I might as well subject you to them anyways.
When January 1st rolled around, I took a good look at where I was in terms with the platforms I use, […]

So as I’ve mentioned several times in the past, I’ve never been one to pigeonhole myself into a specific category of what platform I support - in the sense of Mac zealots, Windows fanboys and smelly Linux/xBSD neckbeards. I’ve prided myself on being above that, recognising that all these platforms have their flaws, and that […]

Update: It looks like there’s some issues getting this working properly under Tiger. I’ll try a fresh install of OS X 10.4 on my Mac mini/MacBook sometime this week, and see how things go.
Following in the tradition of the most visited, and linked to article on this site (despite the fact that it’s kinda crufty […]

So I seemed to have gotten away with it the last time against Geneon, so I figured I’d give Apple a shot this time. Basically, I decided to make a nifty little Boot Camp icon for my Vista partition on my 20″ iMac, after not finding anything suitable on teh intarwebs.
So after dicking around with […]

The biggest problem with tech or platform communities nowadays is the whole community part of the equation. Take the Mac community, for example. OS X is a wonderful OS, and generally speaking, Apple makes great hardware. I’ve had zero issues with my original Mac mini, I love my new iMac to death, and I’d kill […]
